Career

edit

Nomura made his formula racing debut in the French F4 Championship alongside his compatriot Souta Arao as part of winning the HRS Formula Scholarship.[2] Nomura won 2 races and got 2 podiums, but only managed to rack up 7th in the standings.[3] He was also a member of the Red Bull Junior Team for that season only. Nomura returned to Japan to compete in F4 Japanese Championship with Honda Formula Dreams Project, alongside Yusuke Mitsui & Tosei Moriyama. He claimed fourth in the standings with just a win and 8 podiums.[4] Nomura will race in the same series, but move to HFDP with B-Max Racing Team after the HFDP F4 team discontinued their running.[5]
