Kazuya Oshima is a Platinum-graded sportscar professional rated at 6,410, placing him among established professionals who win regularly in the strongest fields. This rating reflects a career built almost entirely in Super GT, where he has competed since 2008 and remains active in 2026. Oshima won the GT500 Drivers' Championship in 2016 for TGR Team Eneos Rookie, the centrepiece of a record that includes eight wins and thirty-three podiums across 131 Super GT starts. His 2016 title came after a 2007 GT300 championship, making him one of only three drivers to have won in both classes of the series. Against his most frequent rivals, Oshima holds a mixed record; he has beaten Yuhi Sekiguchi, the 2021 Super GT champion and a much stronger driver overall, on more occasions than not, but has consistently finished behind Koudai Tsukakoshi, another elite-level professional, across 137 shared races. He dominates semi-professional and less-experienced competitors decisively, with over 120 finishes ahead of Tatsuya Kataoka and Nobuteru Taniguchi respectively.[1]

Oshima's other series appearances have been secondary to his Super GT career and generally unsuccessful. His 2008 Formula 3 Euro Series campaign with Manor Motorsport yielded a single win among seventeen starts. A fifteen-start venture into Super Formula from 2017 to 2025 produced no victories and only two podiums, ending with his retirement from that series in July 2025. A notable June 2023 result represented his best Super Formula finish in four years, suggesting the upper formulae never suited a driver whose strength lay in GT racing. His competitive average of P8.4 across all racing reflects the balance of a career spent predominantly among the fastest drivers in his chosen discipline; isolated results against generational talents such as Sebastian Vettel and Pierre Gasquet underscore that while Oshima occasionally races at major events, his métier is endurance and sportscar competition. In 2026, he remains active in Super GT for TGR Team Rookie Racing and has made an appearance in the Nürburgring 24 Hours.[2]
