Hiroki Katoh is a retired professional racing driver who held an FIA Bronze grade and spent his career primarily in Super GT, the Japanese national multiclass endurance championship. Over 17 seasons from 1998 to 2023, he made 128 starts across Super GT, Formula 3 Macau and the World Endurance Championship, racing shared-drive GT cars in endurance formats alongside a mixed field of amateurs and professionals. His main team was Cars Tokai Dream28, with whom he started 103 of those races in the GT300 class.[1]
Katoh took five wins and 19 podiums across his indexed career. In Super GT alone, where he contested 124 starts over 16 seasons, he secured all five of those victories and 18 podiums. His only WEC appearance came in 2017, a single-round entry in LMGTE Am that yielded a 14th-place finish in the championship standings. Early career activity included three starts in the 1998 Formula 3 Macau championship.[2]
Within Super GT's GT300 field, Katoh raced regularly against drivers graded FIA Silver and higher. He was closely matched with two-time series champion Shinichi Takagi and usually finished behind three-time champion Nobuteru Taniguchi. His most notable finishes came against elite professionals: he twice beat Sho Tsuboi, a multiple Super Formula and Super GT champion, and once finished ahead of Alex Palou, the five-time IndyCar champion.
