In reply to Jere.

In 2023 there was a free live stream on abema.
You can watch it from abroad via vpn.
Not sure if it will be done again in 2024.

In reply to Shimks. You can watch SF on Motorsport tv for a premium subscription (something I do) or alternatively on the SFgo app, but the former option is more convenient. About the scheduling, I agree that having more condensed race calendars would be better & I also wish Okayama returned so that all of Japan's proper circuits would feature in the championship again.

9 rounds in this series but only over 7 weekends and spread across a long timeframe, so not so much racing, really.

In brackets you have (City, Prefecture).

1 Suzuka International Racing Course (Suzuka, Mie) 8–10 March
2 Autopolis (Hita, Oita) 17–19 May
3 Sportsland SUGO (Shibata, Miyagi) 21–23 June
4 Fuji Speedway (Oyama, Shizuoka) 19–21 July
5 Mobility Resort Motegi (Motegi, Tochigi) 23–25 August
6, 7* Fuji Speedway (Oyama, Shizuoka) 11–13 October
8, 9* Suzuka International Racing Course (Suzuka, Mie) 22–24 November

* double-headers

Where to watch, I wonder…?

Ultimately, what I expected & as things stand, he could well be the only non-Japanese competing in next year's campaign.
Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to how well he performs as well as Iwasa.
Getting a full-time drive in F1 for 2025 is still easier said than done & effectively his only chance because Audi may prefer other drivers.
