GRRL! SUMMARY:
- MIKI ONAGA delivered her strongest qualifying performance of the Japanese F4 season, securing 9th place on the grid for race three at Sportsland Sugo. The OTG Motor Sports driver made the most of the reverse-grid format based on race one fastest laps, marking a significant step forward on her first visit to the challenging circuit.
- While ONAGA’s weekend showed promise with her career-best starting position, contact with Ryota Horachi on lap 10 of the final race sent both drivers spinning at Horseback Corner, ending her strong run prematurely. Despite the disappointing finish, her qualifying breakthrough demonstrates growing pace and confidence in the competitive field.
- AI MIURA took a different approach at Bionic Jack Racing, prioritizing clean racing over aggressive moves during her return to Sugo after a three-year absence. Her weekend-best 20th place finish in race two proved that sometimes staying out of trouble and building experience pays dividends, especially when adapting to a circuit that’s evolved since her last visit.
