Super GT GT300 team LM corsa made their series debut at Okayama and Motegi.
[6] ALBIREX Racing Team returned to Super Formula Lights for the final two rounds after last competing in 2021.
50 car filled by Syun Koide, who departed Toda Racing after coming third in his debut season with the team.
Fraga focused on his reserve driver duties for PONOS Nakajima Racing in Super Formula and his Super GT program with Arnage Racing, while Vidales joined AF Corse for the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.
[9] Arakawa shared the car with Masters' Class driver Makoto Fujiwara, the 2023 F4 Japanese Championship Independent Cup champion.
[9] TOM'S signed two Toyota juniors in 2023 F4 Japanese champion Rikuto Kobayashi and runner-up Jin Nakamura.
[4][5] Souta Arao took over Syun Koide's former seat at Toda Racing, returning to Japan after a stint in GB3 with Hitech Pulse-Eight, where he came 17th.
[7] Togo Suganami returned to the series where he came sixth in a part-time campaign in 2023 to replace Nobuhiro Imada at JMS Racing Team for the final round.
[16] The season opener, scheduled to be held over the last weekend in April at Mobility Resort Motegi, was cancelled two weeks prior to the event after issues with the new spec engine in combination with the new Dallara chassis arose.
The first round was initially rescheduled to December, before being changed again to late November to avoid a clash with Super GT.
Kobayashi initially led the first race despite a slow start, but his teammate Seita Nonaka overtook him on a safety car restart on lap three.
He led Koide and Nakamura until the safety car ended the race early due to fog, defending his championship lead in the process.
Arao spent the race defending third from Arakawa and Koide, but was released when the latter dropped behind Nonaka and a fight for fourth broke out.
[21] The second half of the season began at Okayama International Circuit with Koide taking both pole positions.
Nonaka had pole position for race three and converted that into an unchallenged win ahead of Arao and Nakamura, shortening Koide’s championship lead to only nine points in the process.
[23] After spending the fifth round in the lower reaches of the top five, Koide was back in front for the final weekend at Motegi as he took both pole positions.
Nonaka suffered an electrical issue that saw him complete only one lap of the first race, enabling Koide, who won ahead of Kobayashi and Arakawa, to win the championship title in the process.
Koide’s only weekend off the pace - and only weekend without a win - came at Suzuka, allowing Nonaka and Kobayashi back into contention, but clinical form at Motegi coupled with technical difficulties for Nonaka saw Koide end the title fight with two races to spare.
