Juju Noda

[2] She made her official competition car debut in the 2019 Lucas Oil Winter Race Series, where she finished 14th overall.

In January 2021, it was announced that Noda would race for Jay Howard Driver Development in the 2021 Formula 4 United States Championship.

She currently lies fifth in the standings with one win, albeit under the beneficiary under a controversial technical regulation stating that female drivers in the championship could run at a minimum weight 26 kg lower than male counterparts.

[6] This regulation was abolished before the fifth round of the season at the Red Bull Ring, mandating her car to be run with the same minimum weight as those of her male competitors.

Despite a best finish of twelfth in the attritional penultimate race at Suzuka, Noda struggled with a lack of professional-level motorsport experience – never qualifying higher than 19th in a 21-car field, and lapping on average 1.7 seconds slower than the leaders across the season.
