The '''Japanese Super Formula Championship''' is a [[formula racing]] series held primarily in [[Japan]]. It is considered to be the pinnacle of single-seater racing in Japan or [[Asia]] as a whole, making it one of the top motorsport series in the region. The series is sanctioned by the [[Japan Automobile Federation]] (JAF) and managed by Japan Race Promotion (JRP). {{As of|2024}}, Super Formula is the second fastest racing series in the world, after [[Formula One]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=How fast is an F1 car compared to IndyCar, WEC, Super Formula and more |url=https://www.autosport.com/general/news/solving-the-race-series-comparison-question/9460507/ |access-date=2022-12-30 |website=www.autosport.com |language=en}}</ref>

The first Japanese top formula championship was held in 1973 as the '''All-Japan Formula 2000 Championship'''. In 1978, the series transformed into the '''All-Japan Formula Two Championship''', and again in 1987, into the '''All-Japan Formula 3000 Championship'''. For the most part, these Japanese racing series closely followed their European counterparts in terms of technical regulations. The JRP was established in 1995, and began managing the series in 1996, under its new name, the '''Formula Nippon Championship'''. This began what is commonly known as the modern era of the series, which has seen it become more independent with regard to technical regulations. The series' name was changed again in 2013, to '''Super Formula''' (officially '''Japanese Championship Super Formula''' until 2016).

==History==

=== Background ===
In Japan, touring and sports car racing was very popular throughout the 1960s. The [[Japanese Grand Prix]] was originally held as an event for touring and sports cars, and was immediately established as the largest motor racing event in the country during its original run between 1963 and 1969. On the other hand, formula car racing had a more difficult time being established in the nation's motorsport landscape. The inaugural [[JAF Grand Prix]] at [[Fuji Speedway]] in 1969 was Japan's first major single-seater race. And in 1971, the Japanese Grand Prix was reformatted into an event centered around formula car racing. Neither event managed to be as popular with spectators as the Japanese Grand Prix was during its time as a sports car race.

===All-Japan Formula 2000 (1973–1977)===

In 1973, the Japan Automobile Federation established the All-Japan Formula 2000 Championship as the first top-level formula racing series in Japan, to promote the sport of formula car racing in the country.

The series was based on the [[European Formula Two Championship]]. But unlike European F2, which only allowed the use of racing engines based on mass production models, the JAF approved the use of purpose-built racing engines from manufacturers such as [[Mitsubishi Motors]].

===All-Japan Formula Two (1978–1986)===
[[File:March 86J 1986 (Satoru Nakajima) front-right Honda Collection Hall.jpg|thumb|[[March Engineering|March 86J]]-[[Honda in motorsport|Honda]] of [[Satoru Nakajima]], the [[1986 Japanese Formula Two Championship|1986 championship]] winner]]
In 1976, the FIA modified the Formula Two regulations to allow the use of purpose-built racing engines. With this change, the reasoning behind the name "Formula 2000" had disappeared, which led to the series being renamed the All-Japan Formula Two Championship from 1978.

These early years of formula racing in Japan were led by drivers such as [[Kunimitsu Takahashi]], [[Kazuyoshi Hoshino]], [[Masahiro Hasemi]], [[Keiji Matsumoto]], and [[Satoru Nakajima]], who would go on to become the first Japanese driver to compete full-time in the [[Formula One World Championship]]. During the transition from Formula 2000 to Formula 2, a number of foreign drivers from the European F2 circuit began competing in and winning races in the Japanese series. 1981 European F2 champion [[Geoff Lees (racing driver)|Geoff Lees]] became the series' first non-Japanese champion when he won the All-Japan F2 title in 1983.

The '''Suzuka Formula Two Championship''' (established in 1977 as the Suzuka Formula 2000 Championship) was held concurrently at all events staged at [[Suzuka International Racing Course|Suzuka Circuit]], to compete against the [[Fuji Grand Champion Series]]. During its existence from 1977 to 1986, it was considered to be of equal prestige to the All-Japan Formula 2 Championship.

====1987 championship====
When European Formula Two ended in [[1984 European Formula Two Championship|1984]], its Japanese counterpart did not follow suit immediately. The JAF considered starting a new Formula Two series from [[1988 Japanese Formula 3000 Championship|1988]]. However, all entrants ran Formula 3000 cars in [[1987 Japanese Formula 3000 Championship|1987]]. So, the 1987 Formula Two Championship was cancelled due to no entry of any cars for that format.

===All-Japan Formula 3000 (1987–1995)===
Switching to the open Formula 3000 standard in 1987, the All-Japan Formula 3000 Championship officially started in 1988.

During the late 1980s, a number of factors contributed to a surge in popularity for Japanese Top Formula racing.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-04-21 |title=Analysis: Super Formula faces up to recent popularity slump |url=https://us.motorsport.com/super-formula/news/kondo-popularity-slump-jrp-analysis/10458834/ |access-date=2023-09-11 |website=us.motorsport.com |language=en}}</ref> [[Honda in Formula One|Honda]]-powered [[Formula One]] teams began winning multiple championships. The [[Japanese Grand Prix]] was reintroduced to the Formula One calendar in 1987, and that same year, Satoru Nakajima began competing full-time in F1. Fans began following the series through [[Fuji Television]]'s broadcasts of Formula One, resulting in an increased interest in all forms of formula racing. Combined with the asset-driven [[Japanese asset price bubble|bubble economy]] of the 1980s, the All-Japan Formula 3000 Championship attracted several entrants and investors.

Veteran drivers such as Hoshino, Hasemi, Takahashi, and Matsumoto were succeeded by a new generation of Japanese talents, led by 1988 champion [[Aguri Suzuki]], and 1991 champion [[Ukyo Katayama]] - who would each go on to enjoy significant tenures in Formula One. The prosperous conditions within All-Japan F3000 also attracted many promising young drivers outside of Japan to compete in the series. Among those drivers included future Formula One Grand Prix winners [[Jean Alesi]], [[Johnny Herbert]], [[Eddie Irvine]], and [[Heinz-Harald Frentzen]]. The most notable of these young drivers from outside Japan, however, was future seven-time Formula One World Champion [[Michael Schumacher]], who made a one-off appearance at [[Sportsland Sugo]] in 1991.

The eventual burst of the bubble economy led to a decline in the series' popularity during the early to mid 1990s. Japanese and European regulations paralleled one another until 1996, when the [[International Formula 3000]] series became a one-make format to lower costs.

===Formula Nippon (1996–2012)===
[[File:Formula Nippon.png|thumb|left|210px|The previous Formula Nippon logo]]
In 1995, [[Japan Race Promotion]] (JRP) was established by [[Fuji Television]], and became the new promoter and organising body of Japanese top formula racing, recognised by the JAF. As F3000 went down the path of a spec formula series abroad, the JRP opted to continue with the previous F3000 regulations which allowed for open chassis and engine competition. For 1996, the first full season under the management of JRP, the series changed its name to Formula Nippon.

Many of the top drivers in Formula Nippon continued to race in sports cars and touring cars as their predecessors had done in years past. [[Pedro de la Rosa]] became the first "double champion" of Japan in 1997 when he won both the Formula Nippon and [[Super GT|All-Japan GT Championship]] GT500 titles in the same calendar year. [[Satoshi Motoyama]] and [[Richard Lyons (racing driver)|Richard Lyons]] would later accomplish the same feat in 2003 and 2004, respectively.

Drivers continued to use Formula Nippon as a stepping stone into Formula One including the aforementioned de la Rosa, [[Ralf Schumacher]], [[Shinji Nakano]], [[Toranosuke Takagi]], and [[Ralph Firman]]. But by the late 2000s, Formula Nippon's status as a pathway into Formula One had diminished, and the series was greatly affected by the [[bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers]] (the term used in Japan to describe the [[2008 financial crisis]]) - going from 20 cars in 2008 to 13 in [[2009 Formula Nippon Championship|2009]].

=== Super Formula (2013–present) ===
On 5 August 2012, the JRP announced that the series would change its name from Formula Nippon to Super Formula in 2013, stating a "desire to establish the series on an equal footing with the FIA Formula One World Championship and the IZOD IndyCar Series as the undisputed, standard-bearer top formula racing in Asia."<ref>{{Cite web |date=5 August 2012 |title=Japan Race Promotion Inc. Announces New Race Series Name: "Japanese Championship Super Formula" |url=http://superformula.net/fn/media/12release/120805_fn_news_en.pdf}}</ref>

The series experienced renewed international interest when [[2015 GP2 Series]] champion, [[Stoffel Vandoorne]], entered full-time in [[2016 Super Formula Championship|2016]] with Docomo Team Dandelion Racing. Vandoorne would finish his season with two race victories before making the step up to F1 with [[McLaren]] in [[2017 Formula One World Championship|2017]]. A year later, [[2016 GP2 Series]] champion [[Pierre Gasly]] entered the series, bringing [[Red Bull Junior Team|Red Bull]] sponsorship with him to Team Mugen. Gasly finished [[2017 Super Formula Championship|2017]] as the Rookie of the Year, with two wins, and finished runner-up in the standings by half a point.

[[Felix Rosenqvist]], [[Álex Palou]], and [[Patricio O'Ward]] later became [[IndyCar Series]] race winners after racing in Super Formula. Palou, who was the [[2019 Super Formula Championship|2019]] Rookie of the Year, went on to win the IndyCar Series championship in [[2021 IndyCar Series|2021]], [[2023 IndyCar Series|2023]], [[2024 IndyCar Series|2024]] and [[2025 IndyCar Series|2025]].

[[Liam Lawson]], the 2023 Super Formula series runner-up, drove in Formula One for [[Scuderia AlphaTauri|AlphaTauri]]/[[RB Formula One Team]] for parts of the 2023 and 2024 seasons, and drove 2 races in 2025 for [[Red Bull Racing]] before moving back to [[RB Formula One Team]].

== Scoring system ==
In 2020, Super Formula adopted a new top-ten scoring system similar to the one used in [[Super GT]], awarding 20 points to the race winner. Bonus points were given to the top three qualifiers in every round; three points for pole position, two for second place, and one for third place.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Rule Changes for 2020 Season {{!}} SUPER FORMULA Official Website |url=https://superformula.net/sf2/en/2020/01/6115/ |access-date=2022-11-11 |website=superformula.net}}</ref> 

A top-six points system was used in All-Japan F3000 and Formula Nippon from 1988 to 2006, inspired by the contemporary [[List of Formula One World Championship points scoring systems|Formula One points system]]. Beginning in [[2007 Formula Nippon Championship|2007]], the series followed Formula One once again and paid out points to the top eight finishers. A bonus point was awarded to the polesitter starting in [[2008 Formula Nippon Championship|2008]], during which the regular points system was changed again to award the top ten finishers and give 15 points to the race winner in standard events. The points system reverted back to a top-eight format from 2009–2019, though some rounds would have special points payouts.

===Cars===
[[File:Swift 017n.jpg|thumb|220px|The [[Swift Engineering|Swift]] FN09 (also known as the Swift 017.n), was introduced in the [[2009 Formula Nippon Championship|2009 season]] and raced until the end of the [[2013 Super Formula Championship|2013 season]].]]
Until 2002, Formula Nippon was an open formula category, where a variety of chassis builders, engine manufacturers, and tyre manufacturers could compete. Chassis were supplied by [[Lola Cars|Lola]], [[Reynard Motorsport|Reynard]], and [[G-Force Technologies|G-Force]]. [[Mugen-Honda]] supplied the vast majority of the engines along with [[Cosworth]] and [[Judd (engine)|Judd]]. [[Bridgestone]], [[Yokohama Rubber Company|Yokohama]], and [[Sumitomo Rubber Industries|Dunlop]] supplied teams with tyres. However, the series began adopting more spec components. Bridgestone became the series' sole tyre supplier beginning in 1997, and in 1998, Mugen-Honda became the sole engine supplier (though open tuning was still allowed). Chassis remained an open formula until 2003, after Reynard declared bankruptcy and G-Force withdrew from the series. The Lola B03/51 became the series' spec chassis thereafter.

In 2006, Formula Nippon underwent a drastic revision of its technical regulations. The new Lola FN06 chassis was introduced, while new three-litre V8 engines by [[Toyota]] and [[Honda]] were introduced, based on the same engine blocks that the manufacturers used in the [[2005 IndyCar Series]]. American racecar manufacturer [[Swift Engineering]] produced the FN09 chassis that was introduced in 2009, and used until 2013. Also, in 2009, a new 3.4 litre V8 engine formula was introduced, a common engine that would be used in Formula Nippon and the GT500 class of Super GT, as well as a "push-to-pass" overtake system that is still used today.

The [[Dallara SF14]] was used between the 2014 to 2018 season, and featured at least 30% components manufactured in Japan.<ref>{{cite web |last=Collins |first=Sam |date=26 March 2013 |title=2014 Super Formula concept revealed |url=http://www.racecar-engineering.com/news/2014-super-formula-concept-revealed/ |access-date=22 September 2016 |website=racecar-engineering.com}}</ref> Changed regulations both in Super Formula and Formula 1 resulted in closest gap ever between lap times: in 2014 season in Round 1 at Suzuka Circuit in Q2 [[André Lotterer]] did 1:36.996 which was 4.49 seconds slower than [[Nico Rosberg]]'s pole time of 1:32.506 for the [[2014 Japanese Grand Prix]] and was not only inside the [[107% rule]] but could potentially placed him 21st in the F1 grid in front of two cars of [[Kamui Kobayashi]] (1:37.015) and [[Max Chilton]] (1:37.481).

In 2016, Yokohama Rubber replaced Bridgestone as the series' sole tyre supplier.

The [[Dallara SF19]], which was used from the 2019 to 2022 season, was unveiled at [[Suzuka Circuit]] in October 2017. It weighed 670 kilograms (including the driver), and was powered by a two-litre single turbo-charged engines built by Honda and Toyota under the Nippon Race Engine (NRE) formula. The engines used in Super Formula have been detuned compared to their counterparts used in Super GT (GT500), but continue to allow for the use of the "push-to-pass" style Overtaking System (OTS) that allows for an additional five kilogrammes per hour (5&nbsp;kg/h) of fuel burn for up to 200 seconds during a race.{{Citation needed|date=April 2023}}

The [[Dallara SF23]], a slightly modified version of the SF19, was unveiled on December 13, 2022, and has been used since the 2023 season. It has upgraded aerodynamics to improve overtaking and wheel-to-wheel racing.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Super Formula confirms updated car for 2023 season |url=https://us.motorsport.com/super-formula/news/2023-car-confirmed-dallara-sf23/10410835/ |access-date=2023-04-09 |website=us.motorsport.com |language=en}}</ref>

In terms of drivers, Super Formula is a high-level series where the field is composed mainly of professional factory drivers who are paid to race.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2020-11-12 |title=Where should F1 exiles go next year? |url=https://the-race.com/formula-1/where-should-f1-exiles-go-for-2021/ |access-date=2022-12-30 |website=The Race |language=en-GB}}</ref> It is unanimously regarded as the highest level of [[formula racing]] in Japan and Asia, and although opinions on its exact global position vary, it is generally considered to be a higher level series than [[FIA Formula 2 Championship|Formula 2]], but slightly below [[IndyCar Series|IndyCar]] and to a larger extent [[Formula One]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Is winning in Super Formula really easier than in F2? |url=https://www.autosport.com/super-formula/news/is-winning-in-super-formula-really-easier-than-in-f2/10354181/ |access-date=2022-12-30 |website=www.autosport.com |language=en}}</ref> 

Super Formula is a top-level national series and not a feeder or junior category, as there is no series directly above it and many professional drivers compete in it until they retire. Some drivers, mostly foreign, have used it as a platform to prove their ability in an attempt to move to Formula One or elsewhere.<ref>{{Cite web |last=O'Connell |first=R.

The bulk of the grid consists of Japanese drivers, most of whom have the goal of forging successful long-term careers in the series. Foreign drivers have always been regular participants in the series, and there have been several drivers to come from a Japanese Top Formula drive to a prominent Formula One role; the best-known of these include [[Michael Schumacher]], [[Eddie Irvine]], [[Ralf Schumacher]], [[Pedro de la Rosa]], [[Stoffel Vandoorne]], [[Pierre Gasly]], and [[Liam Lawson]].

Conversely, several foreign drivers have built long careers in Japan; examples of such drivers include [[André Lotterer]], [[Benoît Tréluyer]], [[Loïc Duval]], and [[João Paulo de Oliveira]]. Most drivers in the series are contracted to either [[Honda]] or [[Toyota]] – the series' two engine manufacturers since 2006 – for whom they also typically compete in the [[Super GT]] sports car series, Japan's other top motorsport category.<ref name=":0" />

===Feeder series===
The primary feeder series for Super Formula is [[Super Formula Lights]], which was known as the [[Japanese Formula 3 Championship]] prior to 2020. The [[Formula Regional Japanese Championship]] and [[F4 Japanese Championship]] sit below Super Formula Lights in the Japanese single-seater pyramid.<ref>{{Cite web |title=スーパーフォーミュラの歴史｜SUPER FORMULA 公式WEBサイト |url=https://superformula.net/sf3/about_sf/about_history/ |access-date=2023-04-28 |website=スーパーフォーミュラ｜SUPER FORMULA 公式WEBサイト |language=ja}}</ref>

== Circuits ==
Super Formula races are traditionally held at the six major national racing circuits in Japan. [[Suzuka Circuit]], the traditional home of the Formula One [[Japanese Grand Prix]], has staged more rounds than any other venue and has been on the calendar every year since the formation of the series in 1973. Suzuka typically hosts two rounds per season: The Suzuka 2&4 Race, a joint event staged with the [[All Japan Road Race Championship|All-Japan Road Race Championship]], is typically held in the spring. The [[JAF Grand Prix|JAF Suzuka Grand Prix]], Japan's oldest national formula racing event, is typically held at the end of the season in the autumn.

[[Fuji Speedway]] did not host any racing in 2004 while the circuit underwent a wholesale renovation, but otherwise, it has been part of the calendar in almost every Super Formula season including the very first season of the All-Japan F2000 Championship in 2002. [[Mobility Resort Motegi]] (known as Twin Ring Motegi until 2022) opened in 1997 and has been part of the calendar every year since. [[Sportsland Sugo]] has been on the calendar every year since its current configuration was opened in 1987.

[[Mine Circuit|Miné Circuit]] (formerly Nishinihon Circuit), was a regular fixture of the calendar until it closed for spectator events after the 2005 season. [[Autopolis]], in [[Kyushu]], and [[Okayama International Circuit]], in the [[Chūgoku region]], have since replaced Miné as the westernmost venues that Super Formula visits, though as of 2021 the series no longer races at Okayama. [[Tokachi International Speedway]] in [[Hokkaido]] briefly hosted the series from 1995 to 1996.
