Super Formula may have entered a new era on track with the new SF23 car this year, but behind the scenes there has been another change at least as significant when it comes to determining the future direction of the series.
Masahiko Kondo - best known to motorsport fans as the boss of Kondo Racing and a moderately successful driver in his own right, to the rest of Japan as the pop star ‘Matchy’ - has taken over as chairman of Super Formula organiser Japan Race Promotion (JRP). He replaces Japanese F1 pioneer Satoru Nakajima, who had been in the role since 2004.
