TGM Grand Prix has signed up Riki Okusa to take over from Toshiki Oyu for this weekend's final round of the Super Formula season at Suzuka.
Okusa, 23, is best known for his exploits in SUPER GT's GT300 division, where he races for the Gainer Nissan team. It will be his first outing in a single-seater since he drove in the Formula Regional Japanese Championship on the support bill of last year's World Endurance Championship round at Fuji.
He is also familiar to the Servus Japan organisation, which operates the 'Sutekina Racing' outfit with which Okusa has raced in Formula Regional. Okusa has never driven a Super Formula car, and his experience in single-seater machinery is limited as he has spent much of his career in either Super Taikyu or SUPER GT.
