Gotemba, Japan (Friday, 3 April 2026) —TEAM GOH has confirmed the appointment of experienced Japanese motorsport figure Misato Haga as Team Director for its 2026 Super Formula campaign.

Haga brings more than 20 years of experience across both European and Japanese racing, having held senior roles in categories ranging from Formula 3 and GP2 to SUPER GT. Her appointment comes as TEAM GOH prepares for a new chapter in Super Formula with Toyota power and rising talent Charlie Wurz.

The appointment also carries a personal dimension, with Haga having previously crossed paths with Charlie’s father, former Formula 1 driver Alexander Wurz, during her time working in Europe.

Misato Haga, Team Director, said:

“During my time racing in Europe, where I was involved in F3, F2 and Formula 1, I had the opportunity to meet Alexander Wurz when he was competing in F1. We shared the same ambitions and dreams at that time. When I was approached by TEAM GOH and learned that Charlie would be the driver, I felt a strong sense of connection – almost as if it was meant to be.”
“I am honoured to take on the role of Team Director for TEAM GOH in Super Formula. While the responsibility is significant, I am fully committed to this new challenge and to moving the team forward using the experience I have gained throughout my career. I hope everyone will support us throughout the upcoming season.”
