The incident occurred during the final Porsche Carrera Cup Japan race of the weekend.
The car flipped into the barriers just after the hairpin at Turn 12 and barrel-rolled dramatically before coming to rest on the banking beyond the fence.
The driver was able to walk away from the crash, but the impact left extensive damage to the barrier and catch fencing, with repair work ongoing at the scene.
The Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka was scheduled to begin at 2pm local time (4pm AEDT) but was delayed by 10 minutes due to repairs.
