Gotemba, Japan (Friday, 19 December 2025) —TEAM GOH (Team Principal: Kazuhiro Ikeda) has confirmed that Austrian driver Charlie Wurz will race for the team in the 2026 All-Japan Super Formula Championship. Wurz took part in the official combined and rookie test held at Suzuka Circuit from 10 to 12 December.

Comment from Team Principal Kazuhiro Ikeda

“We are pleased to be entering next season together with Charlie Wurz. Last week’s test also served as the shakedown for our new car, which had to be assembled within a two-week period starting on 25 November, and we were able to complete all of the planned running without any issues.

For Charlie, it was a demanding three days, as it was his first time at the circuit and his first experience with the car. However, he worked diligently and proactively throughout the test, and his progress from session to session was clearly evident. Communication with the team has also been incredibly positive.

While there is still a considerable amount of work to be done ahead of the late-February pre-season test and the opening round, we will continue our preparations by building on our experience while actively incorporating new knowledge.”

Comment from Driver Charlie Wurz

“I am hugely grateful to TEAM GOH and TOYOTA GAZOO Racing for the opportunity to race in Super Formula in 2026. I tested the car at Suzuka, and it is every bit as impressive as drivers say. It is a privilege to join such a legendary motorsport name as TEAM GOH as they begin this new chapter, and I will give it my very best.”

Gotemba, Japan (Friday, 5 December 2025) —TEAM GOH (Representative: Kazuhiro Ikeda) is pleased to announce its return to the All-Japan Super Formula Championship (SUPER FORMULA, hereafter “SF”) for the 2026 season. The team will compete with a single-car entry powered by the Toyota “TOYOTA/TRD01F” engine, developed by TGR-D (TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Development).

Since its founding, TEAM GOH has upheld the philosophy of “ racing on the world stage for victory.” In line with this vision, the team will utilize SF as a crucial platform to develop drivers capable of progressing to the highest levels of global motorsport.

SF is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading human-performance motorsport categories. Drivers compete in extremely equal machinery, with minimal performance differences between cars, making the series a true test of driving talent. The championship is renowned for its speed—second only to Formula 1—and has consistently produced drivers who have advanced to the top tiers of international motorsport. As SF continues to gain global recognition as an important category for driver development, TEAM GOH aims not only to nurture emerging talent but also to contribute to enhancing the international value and reputation of the series itself.

TEAM GOH will participate in the official joint test at Suzuka Circuit from 10 to 12 December, where Charlie Wurz will join the team’s testing programme. Wurz, who completed his second FIA Formula 3 season in 2025, is among a growing number of talented European drivers exploring opportunities in Japan’s premier single-seater category.

TEAM GOH previously competed in SF in 2022 with a two-car effort under the Honda banner, fielding two rookie drivers—one of whom was part of a joint Honda–Red Bull driver development initiative. Building on this valuable experience, the team moves forward with renewed ambition ahead of its 2026 SF campaign.

The full team structure, including the official driver for the 2026 season, will be announced following the conclusion of the joint test.
