Sho Tsuboi took a step closer to the Super Formula title in Saturday’s opening round of the final weekend at Suzuka with a second-place finish behind a dominant Kakunoshin Ota.
From pole position, Dandelion Racing driver Ota was never headed over the course of the 31-lap race interrupted by two safety car periods, beating Tsuboi by 4.5 seconds in a final three-lap showdown following the final restart.
