SUPER FORMULA Introduces Cutting-Edge AI Technology for Enhanced Racing Experience

Revolutionizing Motorsport Viewing with AI Technology

The upcoming SUPER FORMULA series is gearing up for an exciting season, taking place from April 3rd to 5th at the Mobility Resort Motegi in Tochigi Prefecture. Japan Race Promotion (JRP), the organization behind this prestigious motorsport event, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Photron Inc. to introduce an advanced AI-driven slow-motion visual effect tool known as 'XtraMotion'. This innovative technology promises to elevate the viewing experience for fans by enhancing the quality and excitement of motorsport footage.

The Power of XtraMotion

XtraMotion is designed with the aim of ensuring that no decisive moment gets missed during races. Utilizing unique AI algorithms from Belgian company EVS, XtraMotion can generate intermediate frames in less than three seconds, allowing for instant replays of thrilling battles and critical incidents on the track without interrupting live broadcasts.

This feature ensures that fans can experience the exhilaration of motorsport in real-time while benefiting from immediate highlights, making every lap even more thrilling.

Moreover, the technology includes a deblurring function that cleans up high-speed footage, presenting the intricate movements of the cars and drivers in pristine detail, even when speeds reach up to 300 km/h. This function promises to deliver a clear depiction of driver maneuvers and vehicle behavior, ensuring fans capture each twist and turn of the race.

Cinematic Experiences Like Never Before

In addition to these enhancements, XtraMotion brings a cinematic flair to motorsport coverage through depth-of-field simulation and other visual effects. This elevates traditional sports broadcasting into a realm usually reserved for feature films, allowing audiences to experience races in a dramatically engaging manner like never before.

Fans can look forward to a dynamic viewing experience that transcends the typical motorsport coverage, making every race a visual spectacle.

Upcoming Events to Watch

The excitement surrounding the introduction of this cutting-edge technology aligns with the broader approach of JRP, which is dedicated to continuously seeking out advanced technologies that promote the evolution of motorsport visuals and enhance the fan experience. The first two races of the 2026 SUPER FORMULA season will showcase this technology live, capturing the hearts of motorsport enthusiasts.

Both the opening series and subsequent events scheduled for Mobility Resort Motegi will be broadcasted, ensuring that fans don't miss out on the action.

The season promises to be even more thrilling with the appointment of legendary motorsport figure Tetsuya Yamamoto as the executive official ambassador, alongside a stellar lineup of well-known figures in the industry as part of the event’s promotion, including legendary racers such as Toshikazu Waki and Takeshi Toshiya.

With the anticipation building for this innovative racing season, fans are eager to experience the thrilling events at the Mobility Resort Motegi over the three days from April 3rd to 5th.
