Super Formula: Tomoki Nojiri reveals common damper concerns
Two-time champion Nojiri expressed concern about the decision to introduce common dampers in Super Formula, as it will make it harder for teams to address the unique traits of their cars. While he acknowledged that the change could help reduce costs, he believes that the individual differences between car components contribute to the competitiveness of the series. Having the freedom to adjust the setups allows teams to eliminate these differences and create a more competitive environment. Nojiri also expressed uncertainty about the effectiveness of setting up the car properly with standard dampers. It is rumored that Ohlins will be the brand of damper used by all teams in 2024, possibly giving an advantage to Toyota teams. Additionally, Super Formula will also ban the use of third elements (inerters), in line with Formula 1’s rules for 2022.
