Three-time Super Formula champion Naoki Yamamoto ends the Fuji in-season test on top for Nakajima Racing. Full report and results: sformula
With just a few minutes to go in the two-hour afternoon session, Yamamoto set a time of 1m22.464s in his Honda-powered SF23, beating Tomoki Nojiri’s morning benchmark by 0.046s.
For instance, Nojiri recorded his time of 1m22.510s just an hour into the morning session, just after the track went back to green after a brief red flag caused by KCMG driver Kazuto Kotaka stopping on track with a technical issue. Dandelion’s Tadasuke Makino finished 0.035s behind Sato in fourth, just days scoring his first podium of the season at Sugo.
TGM’s Toshiki Oyu was classified ninth after retiring from last weekend’s Sugo race with floor damage, while championship leader Ritomo Miyata was 10th-fastest, 0.436s off the pace.
