After an agonising three-year wait, HondaRacing_HPD scholarship winner RaoulHyman is finally getting the chance to race in Japan next year. Here's the story of how he earned his dream SFormula chance:
Of all the drivers present for Honda’s 2023 motorsport activities presentation this week, one had a noticeably bigger grin on his face than the rest. After all, this was the day he had spent the last three years of his life working towards, two of which were spent out of a racing car.
“Spending two-and-a-half years out of the car, it makes you realise how privileged you are to be in this position,” Hyman tells Motorsport.com in a chat at Honda’s Tokyo HQ a few hours prior to the marque’s 2023 presentation, where he endeared himself to the assembled media by giving a brief introduction of himself in Japanese.
“I was contacting teams left, right and centre trying to find something, but there was no opportunity really that was the right one. Even at the start of this year, it was a similar story until the opportunity came to race in Formula Regional Americas.” “We had to choose a series where you have a future, because we didn’t have unlimited funds to keep going,” explains Hyman. “I knew I needed to go to a series where I knew I could win based on the past results of the team - because then, without wishing to sound arrogant, at least it’s down to you. And if you win, there’s something waiting for you.”
. The good news is that next year Super Formula is introducing an updated car with a new aerodynamics package, and that he therefore faces a more level playing field as a rookie than he would have done.
