Iwasa Triumphs at Fuji as Ohta’s Super Formula Title Bid Falters

Kakunoshin Ohta entered the second Fuji race with the opportunity to clinch the Super Formula title with two rounds remaining. However, his campaign suffered a critical setback after contact with Igor Fraga, the Saturday race winner, extinguishing his chances of an early championship victory.

Ayumu Iwasa capitalized on the incident to secure a long-awaited win, ending his winless streak and asserting himself as a formidable contender in the series. The race unfolded with high stakes, as Ohta needed to finish ahead of Fraga to seal the title prematurely, but the collision altered the championship dynamics significantly.

Dandelion Racing’s Ohta now faces increased pressure in the remaining races to reclaim his title ambitions. Meanwhile, Iwasa’s resurgence adds fresh intrigue to the championship battle as the season approaches its climax.
