The opening practice session of the new SFormula season at Fuji has been cancelled due to poor weather:
The practice session will not be rescheduled, with qualifying for the first race set to take place on Saturday morning at 9.20am.
However, there is a strong possibility that the usual knockout format could be ditched in favour of a straightforward timed qualifying session, as was the case for the summer Fuji race last year. The cancellation of practice means that all 22 drivers in the Super Formula field will be going into qualifying with no experience of the new SF23 package at Fuji.
Series organiser JRP made the decision to cut down to a single pre-season test for the 2023 season in order to ease a congested schedule. This was held at Suzuka in early March.
