Keisuke Kunimoto competed as an entry-level professional across three seasons of single-seater racing and multiclass endurance competition from 2008 to 2010. He raced primarily for Epsilon Euskadi in Formula V8 3.5, a nineteen-start campaign that formed the bulk of his indexed career, and also contested the Formula 3 Macau championship and Japan's Super GT series in its GT300 class.[1]
His early peak came in 2008, when he won the Macau Grand Prix for TOM'S Team and took a second podium at the same event, then claimed a race win in Super GT's nine-round season. His two victories came against mixed-ability fields that included graded professionals alongside amateurs and semi-professionals. He finished 12th in the Super GT championship that year. Formula V8 3.5 proved harder ground; across nineteen starts for Epsilon Euskadi he took no wins, placing him regularly in a field that also contained Jon Lancaster, with whom he was closely matched, and Albert Costa, a 2009 Formula Renault Eurocup champion who typically outran him. He beat Daniel Ricciardo, the 2010 Formula V8 3.5 champion, once across their meetings in that series, and finished ahead of Edoardo Mortara, 2010 Formula 3 Euro Series champion, in a single encounter.[2]
