Motorsport.tv brings live Super Formula and Bathurst coverage
Motorsport.tv brings you top level single-seater and touring car racing this Easter weekend.
Japan’s Super Formula series bursts back into life as Fuji Speedway hosts the opening round of the 2021 championship.
The national single-seater series sees Japan’s top talent do battle in Honda and Toyota powered Dallara SF19 machines over a seven-round championship.
A wide open title fight is expected, triggered by three-time and defending champion Naoki Yamamoto leaving Dandelion Racing for Nakajima Racing, run by Satoru Nakajima, the first Japanese driver to score points in Formula 1 back in 1987.
Yamamoto has so far struggled in pre-season testing, while the departure of 2019 champion Nick Cassidy to Formula E looks set to create an intriguing championship battle. Youngsters such as Toshiki Oyu, Nirei Fukuzumi and Ritomo Miyata are expected to shine.
Drivers will also look to take advantage of a push-to-pass system that has been increased to 200 seconds for 2021.

Supercars star and 2014 Bathurst 1000 winner Chaz Mostert (Audi) leads the standings by only 15 points after winning two of the three races at Phillip Island last time out.
