Jack Miller has been back out on track at Suzuka for a pre-event test for the iconic Suzuka 8 Hours.

After eight years away from the event, Jack Miller will return to the Suzuka 8 Hours this weekend with the factory Yamaha Racing Team.

The last time the Australian raced at the iconic endurance event was in 2017 with Honda, and he finished fourth on his debut at Suzuka.

However, this time out, he will compete alongside World Superbike rider, Andrea Locatelli, and four-time Suzuka 8 Hours winner, Katsuyuki Nakasuga.

"It was nice to get back in the swing of things on the R1," Miller said after the Wednesday test at Suzuka.

"You know, you think that you have become comfortable with it, but then you ride the M1 for a few weeks, and you come back to the R1, and it feels completely foreign again.

"But it was a positive day for us – all the boys are going very well, and I think that in general our pace is really good. The track was in decent condition.

"We are now getting used to riding with a lot of traffic on the track, but this is a part of Suzuka 8 Hours. Like I said, we're just getting used to everything again."
