Formula 4
Nomura began his journey in formula racing by entering the French F4 Championship alongside fellow Japanese driver Souta Arao, having earned the opportunity through the HRS Formula Scholarship. Throughout the season, he achieved two victories and two podium finishes, concluding the championship in seventh place overall. During that year, he was also affiliated with the Red Bull Junior Team. Upon returning to Japan, Nomura took part in the F4 Japanese Championship representing the Honda Formula Dreams Project (HFDP), competing with teammates Yusuke Mitsui and Tosei Moriyama. He secured fourth place in the standings, obtaining one win and eight podiums.
In 2024, Nomura continued competing in the same championship but transitioned to HFDP’s collaboration with B-Max Racing Team after HFDP ceased operating its own F4 outfit. As a member of Honda’s driver development initiative, he clinched the 2024 F4 Japanese Championship crown by securing seven wins along with numerous podium placements, surpassing teammate Ryota Horachi.
Super Formula Lights
Following his triumph in the F4 Japan series, Nomura progressed to the Super Formula Lights category, driving for HFDP with B-Max Racing Team.
GT300
Nomura is set to make his debut in the GT300 class in 2025 with Team UpGarage, partnering with fellow driver Takashi Kobayashi.
