More than 100 irate spectators have now filed legal action against new Japanese grand prix venue Fuji Speedway.
The 109 plaintiffs claim organisers failed to provide adequate toilet, convenience and other spectator facilities for the formula one event - the first at the venue for years - last September, the Japanese daily Asahi Shimbun said on Tuesday.
It also emerged following the 2007 Japanese grand prix, now hosted at the Toyota owned facility following years at Suzuka, that some badly planned grandstand seats featured obstructed views.
The suit filed with the Tokyo District Court on Tuesday also alleges that spectators were stranded outside the circuit in the rain at one point due to transport problems.
The plaintiffs are seeking 32 million yen (about $300,000) in damages.
