Building on that pedigree, Hamaguchi moved into the European Le Mans Series, where he became most closely associated with the Iron Lynx team. Over the course of his career in the series, he made 24 starts, taking one win and four podium finishes, culminating in a championship title in 2024.[1]

Hamaguchi's record now stands at retired status, with his final Racer Rating placing him at 2,748 points, ranked 1305 among active drivers on the database's Elo-style scale. His 2026 season, the last recorded before his retirement, saw him start a single round without registering a win or podium, leaving him P189 in the final standings. Across his time in the European Le Mans Series, Hamaguchi's championship-winning 2024 campaign remains the standout achievement of a career built on steady progression from national and international GT competition into the sports prototype ranks of European endurance racing.[2]
