Featured Cars Introduction
Dallara SF23 Super Formula
The next evolution of Super Formula cars aims to bring sustainability to motorsports.
In spring 2023, Japan's top formula racing series, Super Formula saw the debut of the new Dallara SF23 Super Formula car.
The SF23 uses a number of new technologies from the 'SUPER FORMULA NEXT50' motorsports sustainability project headed by Japan Race Promotion, the organisers of Super Formula.
First, the body of the SF23, which is based on the SF19 introduced in 2019, uses bio-composite materials produced by the Bcomp company. This has allowed for a 75% reduction in CO2 emissions from the raw materials and construction processes while keeping the same weight and rigidity characteristics as the previous carbon fibre shell. The racing tires provided by Yokohama Rubber have also been developed for sustainability. The new tires use sustainable materials such as naturally derived polymers and recycled rubbers. And though they use 33% sustainably sourced materials, the tires achieve the same handling characteristics as before. With the Yokohama Carbon Neutral Racing Tires equipped, the car becomes the ideal of a carbon neutral racing machine as outlined in the 'SUPER FORMULA NEXT50' project.
To achieve another of the 'SUPER FORMULA NEXT50' goals, increased entertainment value, the aerodynamics of the car have been overhauled as well. This will allow drivers more opportunity to show off their skills in close quarters racing than ever before. For the engines, as before, teams will have the choice between a Toyota or Honda powerplant.
