After Délétraz's sponsors defaulted on payments, the team planned to rent the drive to Formula Nippon driver Katsumi Yamamoto for the two races in Japan, but he was not granted a superlicence, so Gachot retook the seat.
Despois de que os patrocinadores de Délétraz incumprisen os pagos, o equipo planeou alugar o asento ao piloto de Formula Nippon Katsumi Yamamoto para as dúas carreiras en Xapón, pero non se lle concedeu a superlicencia, polo que Gachot retomou o asento.
