Motoaki Ishikawa is an entry-level professional, FIA Bronze graded, racing in endurance competition. He competed in the WEC from 2018 to 2020, driving GTE cars in the LMGTE Am class for MR Racing; this is a multiclass championship in which professional and amateur drivers share each car across endurance races. His record across 13 starts yielded one podium finish.[1]
Ishikawa's three seasons in the WEC placed him in the field's mid-tier. He regularly raced against established professionals including Matt Campbell, a two-time WEC LMGTE Am champion, and Matteo Cairoli; he typically finished behind Campbell but ahead of Cairoli. He took podium finishes ahead of both Campbell and Thomas Preining, a Platinum-graded driver later champion of the 2023 DTM, though these were individual results rather than a pattern across their meetings. MR Racing, his only team, was a small endurance operation without wins in the index and fielded six drivers across its entries. His last indexed appearance was a single round in the 2020 WEC season.[2]
