Juju Noda


Juju Noda, also known mononymously as "Juju", is a Japanese racing driver who is competing in the 2025 Super Formula Championship with Triple Tree Racing. She has previously competed in the W Series, and Euroformula Open. She is the daughter of former Formula 1 driver Hideki Noda.

Early and personal life

Noda was born on 2 February 2006. She is the daughter of former Formula One driver Hideki Noda, and began karting at the age of three.
In 2018, Noda was featured in a micro-documentary created by Great Big Story.

Career

Early career

Noda tested single-seater race cars on Japanese circuits from the age of 9. She made her official competition car debut in the 2019 Lucas Oil Winter Race Series, where she finished 14th overall.

F4 Danish Championship

Noda made her debut in the Formula 4 category in 2020, racing in the F4 Danish Championship with her family team, Noda Racing. She won her first ever race in the series, and finished 6th in the standings.
Noda continued in the championship in 2021, after a last minute switch from the F4 United States Championship. She finished seventh in the standings this year.

F4 United States Championship

In January 2021, it was announced that Noda would race for Jay Howard Driver Development in the 2021 Formula 4 United States Championship.
She was fastest in the practice session in Round 1 at Road Atlanta, however she then withdrew prior to qualifying. She did not appear at any more rounds.

W Series

Noda appeared at the second pre-season test on 2–4 March 2022 at Barcelona, the only driver to do so who was not an automatic qualifier or who had attended the first test in Arizona, one month prior. The full W Series grid was announced on 22 March 2022, with Noda included. She would go on to score two points throughout the season, finishing fourteenth in the championship.

Euroformula Open

Noda would compete in the Euroformula Open Championship for the eponymous Noda Racing team in 2023. A controversial technical regulation stated that female drivers in the championship could run at a minimum weight 26 kg lower than male counterparts. This regulation was abolished before the fifth round of the season at the Red Bull Ring, mandating that Noda's car be run with the same minimum weight as those of her male competitors. In response to this, Hideki Noda announced that they had retired Juju and the Noda Racing entry from the series. Despite only competing at four of the eight rounds, Noda finished eighth in the championship, with 118 points and one win at Circuit Paul Ricard.

Super Formula

2024 season

Noda stepped up to Super Formula in 2024, partnering Nobuharu Matsushita at TGM Grand Prix. Noda became the first Japanese woman to race in Super Formula, Formula Nippon or any of its predecessors. Despite a best finish of twelfth in the attritional penultimate race at Suzuka, Noda struggled with a lack of professional-level motorsport experience – never qualifying higher than 19th in a 21-car field, and lapping on average 1.7 seconds slower than the leaders across the season.

2025 season

For 2025, Noda moved to Triple Tree Racing, a new team set up by her father Hideki.

Formula E

In October 2025, Noda sampled Formula E machinery for the first time during the women's test ahead of the 2025–26 season with Jaguar Racing held at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo. She finished the morning and afternoon sessions in tenth and ninth, respectively.
