It’s go go Goh after long stop following LM win

- GARY WATKINS

Le Mans 24 Hours-winning entrant Team Goh will field two cars in Super Formula this season in what is being billed as the squad’s full return to racing. Team owner Kazumichi Goh described the programme as a “proper return for the first time since 2004”, when it triumphed at Le Mans with an Audi R8 LMP1 driven by Tom Kristensen, Rinaldo

Capello and Seiji Ara.

Goh distinguis­hed his latest project with previous campaigns including his name, which he explained were “not 100% Team Goh”.

“This time we are serious,” he said. “It will be a multi-year programme and I have some other ideas that I cannot talk about yet.”

The team will field a pair of Honda-powered Dallaras for Ren Sato and Atsushi Miyake, who are graduating to SF from the Super Formula Lights feeder series. The cars will be run by Goh’s sister operation, Servus Japan, which was created out of the Le Mans-winning team after 2004 as a service provider for other entrants.

The full return of Team Goh follows the decision of Servus and Team Mugen to go their separate ways after winning the 2021 title with Tomoki Nojiri.
