The Grand Finale Awaits
As we approach the end of the 2025 season, motorsports enthusiasts are gearing up for an exhilarating showdown at the Suzuka Circuit in Mie Prefecture. The event is part of the All-Japan Super Formula Championship, which will culminate in an exciting weekend filled with racing action from November 21st to 23rd.
This year’s event features the highly anticipated "Yoiko Dama King Cup," marking the 10th, 11th, and 12th rounds of the championship, also known as the 24th JAF Suzuka Grand Prix. This unique structure allows teams to compete in three races, an extraordinary rarity aimed at heightening the excitement for fans and creating dramatic narratives on the track.
Championship Showdown
With the championship on the line, all eyes are on the current front runner, Sho Tsuboi. Aiming for a consecutive title, Tsuboi has built a formidable lead but will face fierce competition from Ayumu Iwasa, who is just 14.5 points behind and has been dubbed the closest driver to F1 standards. Not to be underestimated is Kousuke Matsuda, who recently secured victory at the season opener and sits with the same point gap as Iwasa, adding another layer of tension to the championship.
The races will kick off with free practice on November 21, followed by qualifying rounds and a series of breathtaking races on November 22nd and 23rd. The battle for supremacy in the Super Formula series not only tests the drivers' skills but also highlights team strategy and collaboration, especially in a series renowned for its equal conditions where driving talent is paramount.
