Reigning Super Formula champion Tomoki Nojiri took pole position for this weekend's Motegi round, as Liam Lawson tied Ritomo Miyata by qualifying third.
After topping practice on Saturday morning, Nojiri went second-fastest in his group in the first segment before setting the fastest time of 1m31.955s in the Q2 pole shootout.
Nojiri's team-mate Lawson meanwhile qualified third, 0.282s off the pace, scoring a crucial bonus point in the process. Toshiki Oyu topped his Q1 group on his return from injury for TGM Grand Prix but could only manage fourth in Q2, one thousandth of a second behind Lawson. Behind Miyata, Tadasuke Makino could only manage ninth despite having topped his Q1 group in the second Dandelion machine, and was placed under investigation for a pitwork infraction.
