Super Formula Fuji: Igor Fraga wins while Kakunoshin Ohta closes on title
The Nakajima Racing driver scored his first full-length Super Formula win
Super Formula Fuji race of 2023 saw a victory for Igor Fraga, marking his third career win, while Kakunoshin Ohta secured second place and extended his championship lead. From pole position, Fraga dominated the 41-lap race, losing the advantage only during the pit cycle. Ohta, racing for DOCOMO TEAM DANDELION, now has a 48-point lead over his nearest rival, Fraga, and could clinch the championship with two races remaining.
Ohta's second-place finish came as a result of a temporary steering issue suffered by Team Impul's Zak O'Sullivan, which allowed Ohta to maintain his lead. Despite O'Sullivan's efforts, he couldn't force his way past Ohta on the final lap. Other top results included Kakunoshin Ohta in fourth place, Sho Tsuboi (TOM'S) in fifth, Nobuharu Matsushita in seventh for Delightworks Racing, and Toshiki Oyu in eighth for Inging. Rookie Kazuhisa Urabe, who made his debut in the race, finished 21st, despite qualifying 11th.
