Super Formula: Toyota teams can’t bank on 2024 damper boost

Super Formula is planning to ban open damper development and enforce standardized dampers for the 2024 season, with Ohlins likely to become the sole supplier.

Driver Hirakawa believes that despite the change, Mugen will still be strong, as they have already gained valuable knowledge from using the six-way dampers.

Additionally, teams will have to purchase new dampers to comply with the regulations, adding to their financial burden.
