The Japanese single-seater series will hold a pair of two-day tests in the run-up to the new campaign, as it has done in previous years.

Suzuka will host the first of these on March 11-12, while the latter will take place at Fuji Speedway on March 23-24 ahead of the start of the season proper at the same track.

The opener remains scheduled for April 3-4, which means it clashes with the planned FIA World Endurance Championship curtain-raiser at Portimao.

Such a conflict would inevitably force Toyota WEC drivers Kamui Kobayashi and Kazuki Nakajima to sit out the Fuji race, while Tatiana Calderon would also be affected.
