The 2024 Super Formula season kicks off this weekend at Suzuka, so here is how and when you can watch this weekend's action.
Ritomo Miyata won the championship in Super Formula after a competitive season last year and after his success, has switched to Formula 2 in the new season.
Although the defending Super Formula champion will be absent, the defending 2023 F2 champion Theo Pourchaire will be discovering the highly competitive Japanese series, competing against 20 other drivers for the title.
All teams will use the same Dallara-built SF23 chassis, with Honda or Toyota engines at the heart of their cars.
A total of nine races will feature on the Super Formula calendar in the new season, with the first race of the season taking place at Suzuka on 10 March, followed by the series' next stop at Autopolis on 17-19 May.
Sportsland Sugo will host the third race of the season from 21-23 June, while Fuji Speedway will host one of the most important races of the season from 19-21 July.
Resort Motegi will host the race on 23-25 August, while a double Super Formula race will be held at Fuji from 11-13 October.
The season will end with the final race at Suzuka on 8-10 November.

Super Formula driver line-ups and teams
A total of 21 drivers for 12 teams will compete in Super Formula this year, with six of these teams using Honda engines and the other six using Toyota engines.
On the driver side, there are no drivers competing with the #1 this year. Moreover, the only non-Japanese driver on the grid is the last Formula 2 champion Theo Pourchaire. The French driver, who will race with #19, will be team-mates with Yuki Kunimoto at Team Impul.
Honda-backed Ayumu Iwasa, who competed in Super Formula last year, will compete for Team Mugen with 2021 and 2022 champion Tomoki Nojiri.
Eyes will of course be on the female drive Juju Noda, who has achieved success in lower categories. The young driver who signed with TGM will be accompanied by Nobuharu Matsushita.
Important names such as Kamui Kobayashi, Naoki Yamamoto and Tadasuke Makino will also continue to be on the grid in the new season.
