Ayumu Iwasa Claims Victory at Super Formula Fuji as Kakunoshin Ohta Crashes Out

Ayumu Iwasa won the second race of the Super Formula at Fuji, while Kakunoshin Ohta's chance to secure the championship title ended in a crash.

Ohta entered the race needing to finish ahead of Igor Fraga to clinch the title, but after a series of incidents, he collided with Fraga, resulting in his elimination from the race. The race featured multiple safety car periods and chaotic moments, including a significant incident involving several cars in the pit lane.

After the final restart, Iwasa maintained his lead and achieved his first victory of the season. Zak O'Sullivan finished second after a last-lap maneuver, while Nobuharu Matsushita took third. Iwasa is now the closest contender to Ohta in the championship standings, trailing by 33.5 points with one race remaining.
