Juju Noda lands Super Formula test chance with TGM
17-year-old racing driver Juju Noda will have a homecoming of sorts as she samples the TGM’s Honda-powered SF23 at the Suzuka Circuit in Japan from December 6-8. Noda, who has spent her professional career in Europe so far, feels ready to drive a high-downforce, high-power single-seater car after her successful campaign in the Euroformula Open, despite ending the season prematurely. This will be Noda’s first official race in Japan, and she is excited to participate in the SUPER FORMULA Joint Test/Rookie Driver Test, the highest level of racing in Japan. TGM team principal Kazuhiro Ikeda believes that Noda’s talent will shine in Super Formula, although he acknowledges that it is a challenging category for rookies. The TGM team had a mixed season in 2023, and Noda’s participation in the test could potentially impact the team’s lineup for the 2024 season.
