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.”
