Last weekend, Tomoki Nojiri wrapped up his second Super Formula title at Suzuka as he concluded a season even more dominant than his breakout 2021 campaign. There were only two wins in 10 races, but he scored pole an incredible six times, giving himself an average grid slot of 2.2, and finished on the podium eight times. On the two occasions he didn’t finish in the top three, he finished fourth, which were his worst finishes.
The Team Mugen driver’s main rivals heading into the Suzuka weekend, Sacha Fenestraz and Ryo Hirakawa, could only look on and congratulate their adversary on putting together about as close to a perfect season as you could realistically hope for in Super Formula.
