Should be a phenomenal season.

Based on the testing lineups for Suzuka, it's looking likely that Jann Mardenborough will get the B-Max Racing seat. Oliver Rowland may be getting at least most of the season in the #7 Sunoco LeMans car.

Also, Ryo Hirakawa is very quietly just a championship away from getting the requisite points for a Super License... >_>

Pietro Fittipaldi will test the Lemans Car next week , so nothing sealed for Rowland so far i believe

Nope, Chiyo got the drive, Jann was well off the pace. But I guess the flip side is that he can focus on 500

According to Grande Prêmio, Pietro Fittipaldi will do 5 races with Team LeMans.

Quote:
“I'm really happy and honored to sign with Team LeMans to race in Super Formula”, says Pietro. “It is a fantastic car and a extremely competitive championship. I'm anxious for the first round, at Suzuka”
His IndyCar Series commitment will prevent him from taking part in rounds 2 and 3, Autopolis and SUGO, respectively.

It will be tough for Pietro. He will struggle.

So Rowland no go?

I guess he'll have to concentrate on his simulator work at Grove and the LMP1 programme.

Maybe after the test he thought it was going to be too difficult. The test went pretty bad and it was not normal to see him so far of the top. Apparently there are big differences between cars and different teams in Superformula.

As many other European drivers did. I think that's why we have just 4 Non-Japanese drivers there now. The least since 2012.

FYI Okayama is the old TI Aida circuit used by F1 in the Pacific Grand Prix of 1994 and 1995.

I hoped for a bigger name, but nice to see a young talent coming in the series.

I see that B-Max racing are carrying Dome stickers on their car, are Dome involved in the running of the cars?

perhaps he is evaluating him for a F1 drive.
There were some rumours about Toro Rosso doesn't want to continue with Brendon Hartley.

Dan too green to take the seat that soon. Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

Quite an eventful race at SUGO. Dillmann did well. I hope he sticks around for the rest of the season.

He goes for where he gets paid. He is a professional single seater driver. A rarity nowadays.
