The final round of the Japanese Super Formula series has been cancelled due to a typhoon set to hit Suzuka, thwarting Pierre Gasly's chances of clinching the title.
Heavy showers wreaked havoc on the series schedule on Friday and Saturday, but the peak of the typhoon's impact, set to hit on Sunday, prompted organisers to call off tomorrow's races which won't be run at a later date.
Hiroaki Ishiura has subsequently been declared the 2017 Super Formula champion based on the standings after the previous round in Sugo.
Toro Rosso's Pierre Gasly purposefully missed this weekend's US Grand Prix in order to travel back to Japan and attempt to wrestle the title from Ishiura.
The French driver misses out by just half a point, but at least he'll get some decent air miles!
