Kei Cozzolino is a professional endurance racing driver rated at 4,185, competing in multiclass and single-class championships across two continents. FIA Gold-graded, he races for PONOS Racing in the Super GT series and drives Ferrari GT3 machinery in the Asian Le Mans Series, with recent campaigns in international endurance racing at Le Mans Cup, WEC and IMSA WeatherTech. His career spans 13 seasons from 2008 to the present.[1]

Cozzolino has raced primarily in Super GT since 2016, taking a single podium across 44 starts for PONOS. In international endurance racing he has been more productive; he won twice and reached the podium three times in six Le Mans Cup starts with AF Corse, and took podiums in WEC and IMSA WeatherTech. His broader record across 82 career starts yields two wins and six podiums. Early in his career he started in Formula 3 at Macau and raced the World Touring Car Championship in 2012.[2]

In Super GT he regularly contests the GT300 class against two established professionals: he runs closely matched with Takuto Iguchi, a 2021 GT300 champion and Silver-graded professional, but typically finishes behind Yuya Motojima, who won the championship in 2024. In IMSA and WEC he has raced against stronger fields; he finished ahead of Matt Campbell, an established professional and 2025 IMSA WeatherTech GTP champion, on three occasions, and once ahead of Laurens Vanthoor, a Platinum-graded driver who won the 2024 WEC Hypercar title. PONOS Racing, his primary team, has not won a race across the indexed database but fields professional-level drivers alongside semi-professionals.
