Looks like today should be a close race, personally im hoping for Wirdheim to take the win, or at least get on the podium this weekend, personally though I think Motoyama will probably end up taking the win.

Where are Richard Lyons and João Paulo de Oliveira?

Being Japanese F3 champion, i think Formula Nippon should be his natural destiny.

ohazamiizugahar · 2 Apr 2006, 08:56 (Ref:1567619)

t was a heavy rain and fog on the race day.
The start was cancelled several time and finally the race was over.
Formula car run with safety car.
They had no competition.

The championship point will be given according to qualify.
Not full but half.

That's a real shame. Not the best way to start what should be a classic year!

SALEEN S7R · 2 Apr 2006, 13:49 (Ref:1567896)

Indeed a big shame, hopefully all the other rounds will not have these kinds of problems though. I wonder if Sky Sports "World Motorsports" will once again cover the series, I would hope so seeing as how this year looks like being one of the best in a few years.

I have understood that the top drivers get paid for driving FNippon. If that's true, do you have any idea how high salaries those are?

luke · 3 Apr 2006, 12:38 (Ref:1568981)

I guess Wirdheim did ok. A shame his career has gone down hill since he under acheived in Champ Car.
