The Japanese Juju Noda in F4 US

She surprised everyone last June during the first Danish F4 round. For her very first race in Europe, Juju Noda (14 years old), daughter of the former pilot of F1 Hideki took pole position, victory and the best lap in the race to enter the Old Continent.

It was certainly her one and only victory in a season which ultimately only included three rounds due to the consequences of Covid-19, but history will remember that the Japanese prodigy took 100% of the pole positions (3/ 3) in 2020.

With her NODA Racing team built around her, she was able to gain experience in Europe before taking on a new challenge: the United States. The young teenager will indeed race in Formula 4 in the USA within the very competitive Jay Howard Driver Development team, which will join forces with the NODA Racing structure in 2021. She will also be able to count on the support of the telecommunications giant Rokit .

His season in the United States will be an excellent way to continue his development within a more quantitative peloton (41 drivers in 2020). She should also participate in more races than in Denmark, since there are eighteen planned. Before, who knows, a return to Europe? If this were the case, she would only be 16 years old and already two years of Formula 4 behind her!
