The cars used in Super Formula are circuit-exclusive vehicles developed solely for racing, called “formula cars.” As special machines designed to pursue speed, their appearance is completely different from ordinary cars!

The chassis of the formula cars is supplied by the Italian manufacturer Dallara for all teams, and the tires are provided by the Japanese company Yokohama Rubber. However, teams can choose their engines from either Toyota or Honda. The competition between engine manufacturers is also a point of interest.

Super Formula races are divided into qualifying and the final race, with the starting order for the final determined by the qualifying times. After the final, points are awarded based on finishing positions, and the driver and team with the most points accumulated throughout the season become the annual champions.

To win a race, not only the driver’s skills but also teamwork are extremely important.

For example, engineers who devise race strategies such as overtaking and pit-in timing, mechanics who maintain the machine so the driver can race with confidence, team managers who lead the team, and various support staff—all these members cooperate closely to aim for victory.

The highlight is, without a doubt, the sense of speed! The sight of machines racing around the course at speeds unimaginable for ordinary cars is truly breathtaking.

Also, Super Formula, the fastest motorsports series in Japan, is notable for its lineup of top-level drivers. Recently, the participation of foreign drivers has increased, intensifying the competition even further.

If you find a "favorite" driver among them, watching the race will be 100 times more enjoyable, guaranteed!

  Kakunoshin Ota

  DOCOMO TEAM DANDELION RACING

  A young ace in his third year of competing in Super Formula! After achieving his first victory at the 22nd JAF Suzuka Grand Prix during his rookie year, he engaged in a fierce battle for victory with teammate Noriaki Makino at the Motegi 2&4 Race the following year. He vows to take revenge at the Motegi event held in April.

The All Japan Road Race Championship is divided into classes based on engine displacement and performance, and the highest class, "JSB1000," is held at the Motegi 2&4 Race.

In "JSB1000," the machines used are based on commercially available 1000cc class supersport motorcycles.

As the most powerful class, the highlights are the breathtaking speeds and intense battles!
It is also a class where top Riders active both domestically and internationally gather.

In addition, the All Japan Road Race Championship includes classes such as "ST1000," "ST600," and "J-GP3," but at the Motegi 2&4 Race, only the "JSB1000" race is held.

In the All Japan Road Race Championship, teams use motorcycles from leading Japanese manufacturers such as Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Suzuki, as well as foreign manufacturers like Ducati, BMW, and Aprilia. Competition has intensified further, especially since Ducati became the first overseas manufacturer to win at the 2024 Motegi 2&4 Race.
Furthermore, at this Motegi 2&4 Race, factory teams from Honda and Suzuki are making spot entries with top Riders! A total of 31 Riders will compete.

In the All Japan Road Race Championship, the rider who completes the predetermined number of laps for each class the fastest is declared the winner, and points are awarded according to their finishing position. The rider who accumulates the most points throughout the year is honored as the annual champion.

What determines victory or defeat is not only the Rider's technique in pushing the machine's performance to the absolute limit—such as sudden braking from otherworldly speeds and cornering while leaning the bike enough to scrape their elbows—but also the teamwork involved in machine setup and tire management to make that possible, as well as the team's strategy, which is extremely important.

Watch for thrilling overtakes in the corners, overwhelming acceleration on the straights, and above all, the Riders’ extraordinary skills controlling machines approaching speeds of 300 km/h!

Among these, cornering so sharp that their knees and elbows scrape the ground is truly godlike! Watching live on-site, you can also feel the breathtaking engine sounds firsthand, and even beginners are sure to be captivated by its appeal!
