Jack Doohan Crashes in First Super Formula Test at Suzuka

Doohan suffered a heavy impact in post-season running at Suzuka, prompting a red flag and an ambulance trip for precautionary checks with no serious injuries reported. Super Formula confirmed his participation in this week’s Suzuka tests as he begins evaluating a full switch to the series. The Australian tested with Kondo Racing and is widely reported to be in line for a 2026 race seat alongside Luke Browning, pending a formal announcement from Toyota. He did not attend the planned media session after the test, with organizers citing personal reasons for his absence. His move comes after Alpine named Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto as its 2026 race lineup, with Doohan expected to fill the Kondo seat vacated by Kenta Yamashita following Yamashita’s move to KCMG.
