Did You Know - Super Formula Vs Formual 1 Edition

Here's How A Super Formula Car Compares To A Formula 1 Machine

Super Formula is a very competitive Japanese single-seater series that is the closest in terms of car performance to F1. Here's how the cars compare

Formula 1

As we all know, F1 cars are all very different. Some may run with the same power units, gearboxes, brake manufacturers and, of course, tyres but the chassis, aerodynamics and many internal parts are all unique to each team.

Super Formula

Formerly known as Formula Nippon, Super Formula is Japan’s leading single-seater series. Last year was the championship’s 29th season and second under its new name, with seven rounds and eight races, taking place at the country’s most famous circuits – including Suzuka, Fuji and Twin Ring Motegi.

The grid is typically made up of top Japanese drivers, but some racers from Europe have moved across, partly thanks to few clashes with other international championships like F1 and the FIA WEC. Endurance racer Andre Lotterer and British driver James Rossiter are just two recent examples, while big brands like Honda, Petronas and Lenovo have also been involved in the series.
