FDJ2 2026 Rd.4 SUGO Results: Tokuyama Wins, Nakamura Leads by 103

Shoei Tokuyama (徳山昇英, #151) won FDJ2 2026 Round 4 at Sportsland SUGO (Miyagi) on Saturday 11 July 2026, beating Riki Nakamura (中村龍輝, #1) in the final; top qualifier Manato Mogi (茂木真那斗, #270) was classified third and Eita Uehara (上原詠太, #831) fourth. It was Tokuyama’s first FDJ2 win, and it ended Nakamura’s run of two straight victories without denting his lead: the official standings after Round 4 read Nakamura 379, Jayce 276, Mogi 262, Tokuyama 246, a gap of 103 points with two rounds left. This report was written up on 7 September 2026 from the official result sheet, which is still headed 暫定リザルト, provisional, and every number in it was checked on the official pages on 7 Sep 2026.

Who won FDJ2 Round 4, and how?

FDJ2 is the development tier of Formula Drift Japan and shares the weekend with the top class: at SUGO it had Friday and Saturday, while FDJ Rd.4 qualified on Saturday morning and ran its Top 32 to the final on Sunday. How the three tiers fit together is in our Formula Drift Japan guide.

Friday 10 July was tansō (単走), solo judged runs, two per driver, 36 cars on the sheet, ranked on the better score. Mogi and Nakamura both scored 89 and their second runs split them: Mogi’s 87 against Nakamura’s 82 made Mogi top qualifier, worth 7 points. Fuuga Kimura (木村楓雅, #63) was third on 85 and Tokuyama fourth on 84 with an 83 behind it. The Top 16 cut fell at 77 with three drivers on the number: Rahman Rasel (#777) took the last place with a 74 second run, while Tatsuya Kobayashi (小林竜也, #62), top qualifier at Ebisu West in June, and Keito Butsusaka (佛坂圭人, #60) went home with 1 point each.

Saturday 11 July was tsuisō (追走), the tandem chase battles, two runs per pairing with lead and chase swapped, 14:10 to 17:00 on the published timetable with the podium at 17:20. The report from Mogi’s team, 27WORKS, published by his backer RS-E, describes rain arriving at the end of tandem practice and coming and going through the bracket. The official sheet lists outcomes, not the judges’ scores, so we will not invent them.

Tokuyama’s route ran through Toshihiko Mizuno (水野俊彦, #104), last year’s FDJ2 runner-up, in the Top 16, Yusei Iijima (飯島優惺, #707) in the Top 8, Mogi in the semi-final and Nakamura in the final: 4 qualifying points plus 100 for the win, 104. Nakamura came through the other half past Ryusuke Aoki (青木竜介, #109), Kiminobu Deguchi (出口公信, #193) and Uehara for 6 plus 80, 86. Mogi and Uehara both lost their semi-finals for 64 battle points; Mogi’s 7 qualifying points classify him third on 71 and Uehara fourth on 67, after the long route from 14th in qualifying past third-qualifier Kimura and sixth-qualifier Kei Maeda (前田慶, #86).

Open the official driver profiles and the podium reads as a rerun. Nakamura was the 2025 FDJ3 champion, Mogi the runner-up and Tokuyama third, and 2026 is the first FDJ2 season for all three: last year’s FDJ3 top three, standing in reverse order. Nakamura, Mogi and Uehara all run S15 Silvias; the winner’s car is a JZS151 Crown, a Toyota saloon. RS-E’s report puts Mogi at 14 years old and still in junior high school.

The bracket: which battles are worth rewatching?

Deguchi’s Top 16 win over Jayce (ジェイス, #23), seventh in qualifying and second in the championship on arrival, is the result that reshaped the title race: Jayce left with 36 points and Nakamura’s lead over him went from 53 to 103 in one afternoon. Mogi against HINATO (#620) in the Top 8 is the other battle to find in the replay, top qualifier against eighth, an S15 against a JZX100 Chaser.

Who leads the FDJ2 championship after Round 4?

The official 2026 FDJ2 standings page on formulad.jp carries all four rounds, so the totals below are a straight transcription, checked on 7 September 2026. The before-SUGO column is our sum of the official Round 1–3 columns on the same page.

Three winners in four rounds: Jayce at Fuji, Nakamura at Suzuka Twin and Ebisu West, Tokuyama at SUGO. The scale, read off the result sheet, is 100 battle points for the win, then 80, 64, 48, 32 and 16 for each earlier exit and 1 for missing the cut, plus 7 for qualifying P1 down to 3 for 16th, so each remaining round is worth up to 107. Nothing is decided with 214 points still on the table against a lead of 103; leave Okuibuki more than 107 clear, though, and Nakamura is champion before Okayama. That is our arithmetic, not an official statement. How FDJ’s scoring differs from D1’s is in our D1GP vs Formula Drift Japan comparison.

Where the season went next

FDJ2 Round 5 has not run yet. It is at Okuibuki Motorpark (Shiga) on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 September 2026, the weekend after the top class used the same ski-resort car parks for FDJ Rd.5; the official pages call the place Okuibuki Motorpark for FDJ2 and Gransnow Okuibuki for FDJ, one venue with two names. Admission is ¥3,500 a day, car parking ¥1,500 or motorcycle parking ¥1,000, all sold at the gate only with no advance sale, and each day needs its own ticket, which makes it the cheaper of the two Okuibuki weekends to watch. The finale follows at Okayama International Circuit (Okayama), FDJ2 Rd.6 on Friday 2 and Saturday 3 October 2026, advance ticket ¥3,800, ¥5,000 at the gate.

Getting up to Okuibuki is the part that stops people. The resort’s official access page gives no rail or bus route, the bus its own site still mentions was abolished in 2020, and what actually runs from Ōmi-Nagaoka Station, a weekday-only nine-passenger Maichan Bus and a shared taxi you book by phone in Japanese at least an hour ahead, stops at Kōzuhara, roughly 3 km short of the car parks. The ¥1,500 station shuttle from JR Maibara is a ski-season product, and the pickup from Kōzuhara is another Japanese phone call that appears on no English page. Every leg, with timetables and numbers, is in our Okuibuki Motor Park guide.

Every remaining 2026 date, FDJ2, FDJ and D1 alike, sits on the event calendar, rechecked against the official pages each month.
