Kyojo Cup 2026

The first round of Kyojo Cup happened pretty recently, and I thought some people here might be interested. I’ll put spoilers in the comments but not in the post.

Here’s the season guide that Feederseries made before the season started:

https://feederseries.net/2026/05/07/kyojo-cup-2026-season-guide/

Familiar names for non-Japanese speakers might be Joanne Ciconte, 17, who was in F1 Academy last year, and 15 year old Sara Matsui, who was a Williams junior while in karting, and this is her first step into single seaters.

Like F1 Academy, Kyojo Cup it is an all women’s series in F4 level machinery (it was in different machinery until last year.) Unlike F1 Academy, it’s not exclusively for younger women/girls, there are some older women in the series. There is also nothing that bars the champion from returning, because it is not considered a junior series.

Quali sets the grid for the sprint race, the sprint race sets the grid for the feature.

I heard there was a way to watch it in English (heard it here https://www.dive-bomb.com/article/why-you-should-watch-the-kyojo-cup-season-in-2026#:~:text=The%202026%20season%20starts%20on,accessible%20racing%20series%20from%20Japan.), but I couldn’t find it. If someone knows of an English broadcast, let me know. I put on English subtitles, but I definitely had trouble following.

Katherine Legge Appreciation Post

If you haven't watched IndyCar qualifying yet, I won't spoil specific results, but I thought she was incredibly impressive, considering she drew the very last spot in qualifying. For those who don't know, all 33 cars do a warm up lap and 4 flying laps (taking the average speed), and the order they go in is randomly drawn. All the drivers towards the end of the draw suffered greatly in the heat, and she got the worst of it. I wonder where she could have gotten if she'd been towards the front of the draw instead of the very last.

Next weekend, she is attempting the double, attempting to drive all 500 miles of the Indy 500 and then get helicoptered to Charlotte to drive all 600 miles of the Coca Cola 600. She's never even raced in Charlotte before.

I've not been deeply familiar with Katherine Legge's career. I just started watching IndyCar last year. But my understanding is that her career has been marked with being underfunded and rarely in a top car. When I watch her in Indy 500 qualifying, I don't see a diversity pick, I see an extremely talented driver who has deserved more opportunities in her career. I really really hope she can complete the double. It would be an incredible feat. Unfortunate that there's a fair amount of luck needed, I just hope it can work out.

My name is Catherine Holmes, and I work part time for the Django Software Foundation. We are currently doing part one of our largest fundraise of the year, which is a partnership with JetBrains revolving around their product PyCharm Pro.

https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/promo/support-django/

It’s a big deal for us that, for the first time, renewals are included in this deal. If you are a current, past, or first time PyCharm Pro user, purchasing with that link will get you 12 additional months of PyCharm Pro at 30% off, and 100% goes to the DSF. If you have 7 months left on your current subscription, you will now have 19 months left, etc, so no months are wasted. It’s a 100% charitable donation that you get something back.

It might not show it in the link yet, but we got word today that the campaign was extended until May 3rd.

The DSF works on a very minimal budget, and are trying to expand this year, so every donation helps. If want to directly donate a smaller (or larger) amount to the DSF, you can on our website: https://www.djangoproject.com/fundraising/ or GitHub: https://github.com/sponsors/django
