Like Williams in F1, Dandelion is Super Formula's plucky privateer

Honda-powered squad Dandelion Racing has started the 2025 season with four consecutive wins, across the opening double-headers at Suzuka and Motegi, with its drivers Tadasuke Makino and Kakunoshin Ohta picking up two wins apiece.

Including last year’s closing double at Suzuka, which was swept by Ohta, Dandelion has won the last six races in a row — the last time that was done was by Nakajima Racing, all the way back in 2000. That year, which was dominated by ex-Formula 1 racer Toranosuke Takagi, was also the last time a team opened a campaign with four straight victories.
