Japanese Grand Prix of 1977 - the seventeenth stage of the world championship in the Formula 1 class of 1977 , was held on October 23, 1977 on the Fuji track. James Hunt scored the 10th and final victory in Formula 1. Security problems, the high cost of transportation led to the fact that the Japanese Grand Prix was canceled and renewed only 10 years later - on the Suzuka highway.
