Fuji Speedway is set to host road cycling events for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and will therefore be unavailable during the month of July - the traditional slot for its annual Super Formula race.
That's prompted Super Formula organiser JRP to move the Fuji race to the weekend of April 4-5, which will also mark an earlier-than-usual start to the new season.
Suzuka, which has opened every Formula Nippon/Super Formula season since 2010, will now host the second round of the year, scheduled for April 24-25.

There are no changes to the dates for Autopolis and Sugo races, the two venues retaining their May and June slots respectively.
This will be followed by a two-month mid-season break until the Motegi round on August 29-30, to avoid a direct clash with the Summer Olympics.
Okayama will host the penultimate round on September 26-27, while the title will be decided at Suzuka on the weekend of October 31-November 1.
The revamped Super Formula schedule has been designed with the Olympics in mind, and is expected to last for only one year before the series reverts to a more traditional calendar in 2021.
Provisional 2020 calendar:
Round Date Venue 1
April 4-5
Fuji 2 April 25-26 Suzuka 3 May 16-17 Autopolis 4 June 20-21 Sugo 5 August 29-30 Motegi 6 September 26-27 Okayama 7 October 31 - November 1 Suzuka
