Nearly two decades on from its only ever international race SFormula is eyeing a renewed attempt at holding an event outside of Japan:
Kondo said that attracting drivers from the wider Asian continent to race in Super Formula will be key to achieving its goals, with no specific timeframe set.
“It’s easier for Asian drivers to come here [compared to racing in Europe], and the budgets are attractive. The last serious attempt made by Super Formula to hold a race outside of Japan came in 2013, when a three-year agreement was signed with South Korea’s Inje Speedium. Race podium: Andre Lotterer, PIAA Nakajima, 1st, Naoki Hattori, DoCoMo Dandelion, 2nd, Juichi Wakisaka, Team LeMans, 3rdHaving only qualified fifth on Saturday - pole went to Dandelion Racing veteran Naoki Hattori - Lotterer vaulted into the lead right at the start of the opening race and held off Hattori to take the win.
The Dandelion driver finished a lapped ninth, conceding the lead of the standings to Lotterer, although Lyons did at least record the fastest lap.
