Toshiki Oyu: From Sapporo to Superstardom in Racing

Toshiki Oyu, a professional racing driver hailing from Sapporo, Hokkaido, has etched his name into the competitive realm of Japanese motorsports. Set to compete in the SUPER FORMULA Kyushu Round at Autopolis on May 17-18, Oyu aims to build on his recent victory in the SUPER GT series, where he led his team to a remarkable win after six long years. This passionate driver stands as the sole competitor from Hokkaido in the upcoming race, bringing his local pride and determination onto the track.

Oyu's journey in motorsports began at a young age when he first hopped into a go-kart at a local track. His love for racing was ignited, and he quickly progressed to compete in various karting competitions. By third grade, he made his competitive debut at the New Chitose Motorland in Hokkaido, marking the start of his serious racing career. After graduating top of his class from the Suzuka Circuit Racing School in 2016, Oyu made his long-awaited debut in the SUPER FORMULA series in 2020, quickly securing his first victory.

This weekend's SUPER FORMULA event is not just a race for Oyu; it symbolizes his ambition to achieve consecutive wins at the highest level of domestic motorsports in Japan. The SUPER FORMULA series is known as the fastest race in the country (second only to Formula 1), with speeds surpassing 300 km/h—akin to that of the Shinkansen. In this highly competitive environment, teams race under equal vehicle and tire conditions, emphasizing drivers' skills and strategic prowess.

Fans who cannot attend the race at Autopolis can still tune into various broadcasting channels such as ABEMA, J SPORTS, and DAZN, which provide both live coverage and several unique insights, including team communications and onboard footage through a dedicated app,
