Sasahara is now in charge of testing the Toyota-powered SF23 and got his first taste of the ‘Akatora’ development car recently at Motegi, where Super Formula conducted two hours of wet running with its new contender.
“It was the first time for me to drive the SF23, and it was also my first wet-weather test. I didn't have much experience in wet races, even in Super Formula races, but even in such conditions I was able to get a feeling that the SF23 has these characteristics. He split with Honda during the winter break to join rival marque Toyota, securing a seat with its flagship TOM’S team in SUPER GT.
It was a part of Super Formula’s push towards a more sustainable racing series, with the move to carbon neutral fuels complemented by the use of hemp fibre bodywork and tyres made up of renewable raw materials.
