Noda finished 21st in her maiden season in Super Formula, driving for TGM Grand Prix - now rebranded as KDDI TGMGP TGR-DC -, she had a difficult start to the season, but results improved as the season went on. In the penultimate race of the season, Noda started 20th but ran as high 9th and finished 12th after battling with Kamui Kobayashi in the closing stages.
The 2025 season will mark Noda's return to her family-owned team after one year where she competed with the aforementioned TGM Grand Prix in Super Formula and MM International Motorsport in the Formula Class of Boss GP.
Noda made her full-time single-seater debut in the 2020 F4 Danish Championship, where she made history by winning on debut at the Jyllandsringen from pole. Over the rest of the season, Noda scored two more podiums to finish sixth in the standings, as the only driver to qualify on pole all season, taking three poles in the three rounds contested.
In 2021, Noda returned to the championship and finished seventh in the standings after scoring five podiums in a field that saw Emerson Fittipaldi Jr. and current FR European rookie champion Noah Stromsted also compete for glory.
The Tokyo-born driver stepped up to Formula Regional machinery for 2022, joining the all-women W Series as a W Series Academy driver alongside Bianca Bustamante. Following a learning year, Noda moved to the Euroformula Open Championship, returning to Noda racing as she also competed in the F2000 Italian Formula Trophy and Drexler Formula 3 championships.
In Euroformula Open, Noda was the first female to score a podium, achieved at the Hungaroring by finishing third in race two, and a win, after holding off Jakob Bergmeister to take the top step of the podium in race one at Paul Ricard.
Her main highlight of the year was her full-time campaign in the Italian championship, winning five races on her way to become champion by 14 points over Hungary's Benjamin Berta. Meanwhile, in the Drexler Formula 3 Cup, Noda won seven races and finished runner-up to Berta in the championship, despite missing the third round of the season.
