Manabu Orido is an entry-level professional racing driver, FIA Silver graded, competing in multiclass endurance racing. He races for APR in the Super GT series, driving a Toyota GR86 GT300. His career spans nearly three decades on record, from 1997 through the current 2026 season, with 145 starts accumulated across Super GT, the World Touring Car Championship and the FIA GT Championship.[1]
Orido's primary success came in Super GT, where he has taken 3 wins and 13 of his 15 career podiums across 138 starts since 2008. He won the Super GT GT300 championship in 2009 with Racing Project Bandoh. His tenure with APR, his primary team, accounts for 58 of those Super GT entries. Away from Super GT, he made six World Touring Car Championship starts in 2008 and one FIA GT Championship appearance in 1997, with no wins in either series.[2]
Orido races regularly against established professionals in Super GT's GT300 field. He typically finishes behind Nobuteru Taniguchi, a three-time GT300 champion, and Shinichi Takagi, the 2019 GT300 champion. Against stronger opposition from the higher GT500 class, he has finished ahead of Sho Tsuboi, an elite professional and multiple-time GT500 champion, three times, and ahead of Kenta Yamashita, also an established professional and GT500 champion, seven times, though these remain occasional results against drivers usually competing at a higher level.
