Super Formula averts WEC clash with revised schedule
Super Formula has revealed a revised seven-round schedule for the 2021 season, alleviating a clash with the FIA World Endurance Championship.
The Japanese series had revealed a schedule for next season back in August, but the following month the release of the 2021 WEC calendar created a conflict between the 6 Hours of Fuji and Super Formula’s Okayama round on September 25-26.
However, that has now been resolved with the latest version of the Super Formula calendar, which sees the Okayama race pushed back a week to October 2-3.
Additionally, the season finale at Suzuka has been brought forward by two weeks and is now slated to take place on October 30-31, one week before SUPER GT’s season finale.
The remainder of the schedule remains the same as the previous version, with Fuji Speedway – which hosted the final round of the coronavirus-impacted 2020 season last weekend – still set to hold the opening round on April 3-4.
2021 Super Formula calendar:
| Round | Date | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | April 3-4 | Fuji Speedway |
| Round 2 | April 24-25 | Suzuka Circuit |
| Round 3 | May 15-16 | Autopolis |
| Round 4 | June 19-20 | Sportsland SUGO |
| Round 5 | August 28-29 | Twin Ring Motegi |
| Round 6 | October 2-3 | Okayama International Circuit |
| Round 7 | October 30-31 | Suzuka Circuit |
