Super Formula Fuji: Tsuboi victory applies pressure on points leader Nojiri

Super Formula title race tightens up after Sho Tsuboi claims Race 1 at Fuji Speedway

Sho Tsuboi scored his second win of the Super Formula season in Saturday’s opener at Fuji Speedway to close to within half a point of championship leader Tomoki Nojiri. TOM’S driver Tsuboi surged from seventh on the grid to second in the opening three laps of the race to put himself in a strong position to challenge early leader Nojiri.

Kenta Yamashita took the final point for Kondo Racing, albeit holding on by just two tenths of a second against Impul super-sub Nyck de Vries at the finish. De Vries recovered from a lowly 18th-place grid slot to finish two places ahead of Impul teammate Yuji Kunimoto. Both Toshiki Oyu and Iori Kimura dropped out with mechanical issues, while Sena Sakaguchi was a lap down after stalling on the grid.
