Masayuki Ueda is a retired Japanese amateur driver with a Racer Rating of 2,357, placing him well below the threshold of competitive professional racing. His career spanned thirteen seasons from 2008 to 2022, accumulating 82 starts across three series; he never won a race and scored just one podium finish, which came in a single World Endurance Championship appearance in 2013 with Gainer International.[1]
Ueda's primary racing was in Super GT, where he made 63 starts over an eleven-year period for R'Qs Motor Sports without reaching the podium. His most recent competitive activity came in Super Formula Lights during 2021 and 2022, a feeder category where he again failed to score points across 18 races. Throughout his career he competed regularly against multiple full professionals and champions; he raced 60 or more times against Platinum-graded drivers Hiroaki Ishiura and Yuji Tachikawa (a two-time champion), three-time champion Ronnie Quintarelli, and former champion Tomoki Nojiri. Against these calibre of rivals, Ueda finished ahead in only isolated instances: he beat Naoki Yamamoto, a Platinum-graded three-time champion, once; Kenta Yamashita, a Platinum-graded former champion, three times; and Tomoki Nojiri three times. His typical finishing position across all classified races was P23.7, and his career remained amateur-level throughout, as classified by the FIA Bronze grading.
