Igor Fraga Claims First Full-Length Super Formula Victory at Fuji

Igor Fraga achieved his first full-length Super Formula victory on Saturday at Fuji, driving for Nakajima Racing. Kakunoshin Ohta finished in second place, further solidifying his lead in the championship standings.

Fraga started from pole position and maintained a strong lead throughout the 41-lap race, only briefly losing his advantage during the pit stops. This win marks Fraga's third career victory, with his previous wins occurring in shorter races.

Ohta now leads the championship by 48 points, with Fraga as his closest competitor. Ohta has the opportunity to secure the title in the upcoming Fuji finale if he maintains a margin of at least 46 points over Fraga and other rivals. The race featured a dramatic moment when Ohta experienced a steering issue, allowing Zak O’Sullivan to challenge for second place, but Ohta ultimately held on.
