Driver changes aplenty, new cars, and the return of the 1 plate - here are 10 things to look forward to in SuperGT and SFormula in 2023:
Last year we had new and upgraded cars taking stage in SUPER GT; this year it’s Super Formula’s turn as it introduces the long-anticipated upgrade to what will now be known as the Dallara SF23. The new package of aerodynamic parts and revised Yokohama tyres was put through its paces in tests at Suzuka and Motegi late last year, and the series is confident that the reduction in downforce and dirty air should translate into more exciting racing.
Sasahara has already been busy testing both Super Formula and SUPER GT machinery this winter with TOM’S, impressing team manager Jun Yamada in the process. His place in the team is not yet official, but confirmation appears imminent. Whether that includes both championships or just SUPER GT remains unclear, but either way, the rarity of such moves for Japanese drivers will automatically make Sasahara one to watch in 2023.
During last month’s NISMO Festival, Hoshino and his son Kazuki debated whether Impul should keep the traditional #12 for this season or take up the right to use #1. It was subsequently revealed that the younger Hoshino had won the debate - and as such, SUPER GT fans can look forward to seeing a Calsonic Nissan adorning the #1 for the first time since 1996.
