    PR Document 2020 Japanese Super Formula Championship Series Media Information August 27 2020 1 Super Formula : Then and Now In the 1950s, the Fédération Internationale de I’Automobile (FIA) launched the Drivers’ Championship to find the world’s fastest formula car drivers the purest form of racing machine. That ethos was passed on to all FIA national member organizations.Top-level formula motor racing has been held in Japan in various forms since 1973, when Formula 2000 was first launched. The competition evolved into Formula Two in 1978 and then Formula 3000 in 1987. Japan Race Promotion, Inc. (JRP) was established in 1995 and continued carrying the competition torch in 1996 under the name of Formula Nippon. In 2013, the name of the competition was changed again to Japanese Championship Super Formula and a bold plan was implemented to upgrade the race cars and lift the profile of the competition with the clear aim of spreading the appeal of Super Formula from Japan to other parts of Asia. Another hope was to turn the series into a third great open-wheel racing competition to go along with Formula One and IndyCar. The competition’s name was changed again in 2016 to Japanese Super Formula Championship. In 2017, BS Fuji began broadcasting live Super Formula races, giving many motorsport fans the chance to watch championship races on free-to-air television. In the early days, formula racing in Japan was led by top drivers such as Kunimitsu Takahashi, Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Satoru Nakajima, who later competed on the global stage in Formula One.

  • Tabacco E Motori: Satoru Nakajima
    SATORU NAKAJIMA il Giappone in FORMULA 1 “La differenza tra la Formula 1 dei miei tempi e quella di oggi sta nella tecnologia sempre più avanzata applicata a macchine e motori. Ancora negli anni Ottanta o Novanta ciò che più emergeva erano le caratteristiche e le personalità dei piloti. E' come se si fosse passati da una sfida 'analogica' ad una 'digitale'. A competere non sono più solo i piloti ma l'intero team”. Satoru Nakajima, un’importante carriera nelle formule minori e cinque titoli piloti nella Formula 2 giapponese, primo pilota nipponico ad essere impegnato con continuità nel mondiale di Formula 1, ha commentato così o in una recente intervista la “trasformazione” del “circus”. c c a Nakajima debutta nel 1987 nella massima serie con la b a Lotus-Honda diventando compagno di Ayrton Senna. T Conquista alcuni piazzamenti a punti, con un quarto posto 2 come miglior risultato, pur essendo sensibilmente più lento 3 del compagno di squadra, e si segnala come primo pilota a portare stabilmente in corsa una vettura dotata di a t camera-car. L'anno successivo è compagno di squadra di e Nelson Piquet, in una stagione avara di risultati a causa n a della minore competitività della vettura. A fine stagione la i P Honda avrebbe abbandonato la Lotus, ma Nakajima rimane in squadra grazie all'appoggio dei suoi sponsor. Nel terzo e ultimo anno alla scuderia inglese, ad alcune mancate qualificazioni fece riscontro il miglior risultato della carriera di Satoru, ottenuto nell'ultima corsa in Australia: al termine di una durissima gara sotto l'acqua, il giapponese conquista il quarto posto ed il giro più veloce della corsa.

  • Who Is the Best Formula 1 Driver? an Economic Approach to Evaluating Talent
    ECONOMIC ANALYSIS & POLICY, VOL. 39 NO. 3, DECEMBER 2009 Who Is The Best Formula 1 Driver? An Economic Approach to Evaluating Talent Reiner Eichenberger* and David Stadelmann Department of Economics, University Freiburg, CH-1700 Fribourg, Switzerland (Email: [email protected]) Abstract: Who is the best formula 1 driver? Until today it was impossible to answer this question because the observable performance of a driver depends both on his talent and the quality of his cars. In this paper, we for the first time separate driver talent from car quality by econometrically analyzing data covering 57 years of Formula 1 racing. Our estimates also control for the number of drivers finishing, technical breakdowns and many other variables that influence race results. While Michael Schumacher is often believed to be the best driver, he is overtaken by Juan Manuel Fangio and Jim Clark. I. INTRODUCTION Who is currently the best Formula 1 driver? Who was the best Formula 1 driver in history? And what about the Australian drivers? Many people are more interested in such questions than in the very important research puzzles commonly dealt with in economic journals. Fortunately, these questions can be answered thanks to the tools used by economists. A Formula 1 driver is fast, if he is talented and has a good car. Moreover, his racing success depends on a large number of additional factors. Individual success is determined to a large extent by factors such as the competitors’ talents and the quality of their cars, the number of competitors in a race, weather conditions during the race, and pure racing luck.
