I wouldn't mind one bit if they expanded to more than 9.

However, Super Formula at the moment has a nice place with plenty of big name sportscar stars driving in it.
More Super Formula rounds means more chance of more clashes ad maybe a dwindling international driver count.
And that wouldn't be good at all.

NaBUru38 · 16 Dec 2014, 14:32 (Ref:3485529)

I'd add Sepang and Singapore.

mgcsaylor · 16 Dec 2014, 21:45 (Ref:3485611)

Especially as a support race to the F1 GP

WSR Fan · 18 Dec 2014, 22:21 (Ref:3486237)

I do think that SF could do with a more straightforward race format, especially when you look at this season - this year there were five rounds with a single race and two rounds with a doubleheader, giving nine in total. If you look at the Wikipedia page for the 2014 season, there were three different points systems used, which to me seems a tad confusing and hard to follow.

I would like to see there still being seven rounds, but each of them a doubleheader, meaning fourteen races (with each race being around 40-45 minutes long). And as the grid seems to be stable at around 20 cars, they could use the FIA-standard points system for the top ten finishers.

According to Motor Fan Illustrated magazine,
fuel flow restriction in Super Formula has been decided as follows.
2015 season: 95kg/h
2016 season: 90kg/h
(cf. 2014 season: 100kg/h)

Wonder if anyone wants a Super Formula prediction competiton, under the TWPC as are GP2 and FR 3.5 ones. In that case, I could arrange that, but need confirmations of interested people who wanted to participate in that.

Hellow guys! First time post reply to tentenths.

2014 MacauGP winner Felix Rosenqvist visits Akihabara Japan today. And he went simulator shop.
He told to shop staff ''I want to race GP2 next year. But I don't have enough money. So might be a race in Japan''

Now that would be interesting, i still think he is a class act even if his season was a bit hit and miss.

I'm worried about how to go to Okayama circuit.
I went there once, but it was very unconvinient to go there.
I'm pritty sure I have to go there to use a rent car.
In my opinion, it's how much easy or difficult to go there all S-Formula circuits in 2014 season.
very easy and cosy for fans.
Suzuka
easy
Fuji Speed way
So so
Motegi , Sugo
Very difficult to go
Auto police
The Okayama curcuit is classified as very difficult to go.

Silly season news
Cermo/Inging and Team LeMans will perform demonstration-run this weekend.
Ryo Hirakawa(LeMans) and Hiroaki Ishiura(Inging) goes to Fuji speedway.
Yuji Kunimoto(Inging) goes Tokyo AutoSalon.
So they will remain in the team.

ivanalesi · 5 Jan 2015, 22:07 (Ref:3490180)

Are there any news about the young EU drivers who have tested? Are the teams happy with their performance? Leimer or Rosenqvist can be very handy.

Racing in Japan · 6 Jan 2015, 12:35 (Ref:3490327)

FIA reveals new superlicence point.

SuperFormula is under rate than GP3...
Although certainly not a step-up category, but it's terrible treatment.

ptclaus98 · 6 Jan 2015, 17:19 (Ref:3490379)

Is Okayama so hard to get to because not many people drive cars?

NaBUru38 · 6 Jan 2015, 22:28 (Ref:3490476)

Japanese Super Formula is worth 20 points? Half as many as FIA F3? Twice as national F4?

Please, everyone at FIA drivers's committee should quit right now.

Racing in Japan · 7 Jan 2015, 06:12 (Ref:3490567)

FIA is not motorsport enthusiast, they are ignorant politicians.

And so sad news: Le Beausset motorsports withdraw from SuperFormula.

Formulahistory · 7 Jan 2015, 12:09 (Ref:3490652)

Any source. That are very sad news...

I hope there will be new teams but I think only Drago will enter SF...

Hello.In my opinion, when you go to Okayama-circuit, to use a car is best.I went to there by train and bus for Super-GT race in 2010.This race is the most popular race series in Japan.I explain you how much difficult and unconvinient to go to Okayama circuit by public transport.First, you have to go to Yoshinaga-Station.Himeji-Station to Yoshinaga-Station \970 1hour (one way 1US$=\120)Himeji-City is the nearest big city for Okayama-circuit.Osaka-Station to Yoshinaga-Station \2590 2hours (one way)Osaka-City is the second urban city in Japan.Second, you have to take a shuttle bus from Yoshinaga-Station to the circuit.It takes about \1000 30minits.But the number of the shuttle busses are a few times in a day.An official announcement of the bus has not yet been.So, I'm sure to go there is difficult, especially for foreigners.I'll go to Okayama-circuit by train at 2015 Super Formula Race May 23,24.I went to every single Race in 2014 Super Formula.So if you have another question about Japanese circuits, please ask me.Is Okayama so hard to get to because not many people drive cars? >I guess about over 80% of audience go there by car on the race day.Would you please correction my English sentences, if you have a time.
