Ohta Wins Wet Motegi Opener

Kakunoshin Ohta claimed a dominant victory in the Super Formula season opener held at a rainy Motegi circuit.

The Dandelion Racing driver managed the treacherous track conditions perfectly to secure the top step of the podium.

Heavy rain delayed the start of the race, leading to several laps behind the safety car before the green flag.

Ohta showcased superior pace in the wet, pulling a significant gap over his closest rivals throughout the event.

Reigning champion Ritomo Miyata faced difficulties in the spray, finishing outside of the podium positions.

The race saw several drivers spin off as the standing water made visibility and grip extremely low.

This win establishes Ohta as a serious title contender as the series heads into the 2026 season.
