Masahiko Kondo, who has been chosen to take over as chairman of Super Formula organiser JRP from Satoru Nakajima, mentioned the prospect of expanding the single-seater series beyond Japan’s borders in a press conference at Suzuka earlier this month.
The first and only time that Super Formula has held a race outside of its homeland was in 2004, when the series - then known as Formula Nippon - visited Sepang in Malaysia (pictured top).
