Naoki Yokomizo is a professional racing driver competing in shared-car multiclass endurance racing. FIA Silver graded, he races primarily in Super GT, where he has spent 15 seasons with Pacific CarGuy Racing in the GT300 class, driving a mix of FIA GT3 cars and Japanese-built GT300 specials. He is the 2012 Super GT GT300 champion. His career also includes starts in the 24H Series, WEC, and the Nรผrburgring Langstrecken-Serie, as well as early single-seater racing in Formula 3 Macau.[1]
Yokomizo took his title in Super GT's second-tier GT300 class in 2012 after 15 starts across the season. He has since added two more wins in Super GT across 61 further starts, reaching eight podiums in the series overall. His only World Endurance Championship start came in 2023, where he finished 23rd in the standings. He has made two starts in the international 24H Series and two in Germany's Nรผrburgring Langstrecken-Serie, racing Porsche and modified production machinery respectively.[2]
In Super GT, Yokomizo typically finishes behind established professionals such as Tatsuya Kataoka, a three-time GT300 champion, and Katsuyuki Hiranaka, both Gold-graded competitors with far more extensive racing records. He has finished ahead of Kenta Yamashita, the 2024 Super GT GT500 champion and a Platinum-graded professional with 69 Super Formula starts, five times across their meetings. He has also beaten Alex Palou twice; Palou is an elite professional and five-time IndyCar champion.
