Ex-F1 racer Jarno Trulli is hoping his 18-year-old son Enzo has a long future in Japanese racing after kicking off his SFormulaLights career with tomsracing last weekend:
Enzo, 18, was confirmed as part of the title-winning TOM'S squad for the 2023 Lights season in February after travelling to Japan for his first test outing with the Toyota-affiliated squad in January.
He finally scored a point for sixth place in the third and final race of the weekend, having finished seventh in the first two races. "It’s fantastic that Enzo has a chance to drive for TOM’S, which is the best team here in Super Formula Lights, but also in Super Formula and other races here in Japan," the elder Trulli told Motorsport.com.
"Japan is a completely different world to Europe, and I love it. Our aim since the beginning was to come to Japan because I knew how passionate the people are about motorsport. And if you are able to step up and do Super Formula and SUPER GT, it’s simply amazing.
