When Honda revealed its 2022 Super Formula driver roster last week, there was one significant surprise in store: Team Goh being listed as a standalone entity.

Despite the branding, and the fact Mugen’s two cars were classified separately in the teams’ championship, this was simply a continuation of the Red Bull-backed #15 entry that had been raced by Pierre Gasly, Dan Ticktum, Pato O’Ward and Juri Vips in seasons prior.
Hiroki Otsu became the first full-time occupant of the car not belonging to the Red Bull junior scheme, with Goh’s influence helping to give the eventual Rookie of the Year the nod over Vips’ 2020 stand-in Sasahara.
