The first half of the 2023 campaign turned out to be a major disappointment for the two-car ARTA squad, which is in the first season of a new alliance with Team Mugen, with each of its cars having just a single third-place finish each to show for their efforts in the opening four races.
But at Suzuka, the team’s fortunes finally turned as Nirei Fukuzumi and Hiroki Otsu converted their pole position into victory, also giving Honda a first win of 2023.
