Igor Fraga Secures a Super Formula Drive for 2025 Season​

Following a season as a reserve for Ponos Nakajima Racing, Gran Turismo World Series winner Igor Fraga will have a full-time drive in Super Formula for 2025...

Best of luck to him! Can't wait to see liveries in the showcase 👍🏻

That's great for him. From the race report videos, he has been very unlucky in the last Super GT season, hopefully he gets better luck this year!

Granted it might be down to familiarity and experience, but that comparison seems to show Fraga being abit more smooth with inputs compared to Bearman. Glad to see that he actually has a seat though, especially with how dirty he was done in that one series with that one team.

Also:

Seeing as one of the reigning Super GT GT500 Champions has managed to pull the double recently within the same season (GT500 Champion AND Super Formula Champion), I see no reason for Fraga not to be back in a GT300 seat for a 3rd season (Though not in a Lexus possibly if his Super Formula seat is anything to go by). One does wonder how this will affect his Participation in ANY Gran Turismo World Tour Events though, I assume the opening round and World Final will be clear enough for him to return (barring another race reschedule), but the rest is questonable.
