Juju Noda Noda secures Super Formula drive with Honda squad TGM
Juju Noda will drive the #53 Honda-powered SF23 in all nine Super Formula races this year, becoming the first female driver to compete in Japan’s premier single-seater series since Tatiana Calderon in 2020-21. She had her first experience with a Super Formula car at the post-season test in December. Noda hopes her entry into Super Formula will promote equality in motorsport and encourage more females to consider racing as a profession. TGM representative Kazuhiro Ikeda praised Noda’s performance during the test but also emphasized that she will need to step up her game to compete against more experienced rivals. Noda will also continue to race in Europe alongside her Super Formula campaign.
