Rintaro Sato is an entry-level professional racing single-seaters in national championships. He competes in French F4 for B-Max Engineering and has begun racing in Super Formula Lights, where he currently sits seventh in the standing after six rounds of the 2026 season still in progress.[1]

His indexed record spans two seasons. In 2025 French F4, he took one win and two additional podiums across 13 starts. He has since moved to Super Formula Lights, where he has finished on the podium once in six races so far this season. His rating of 3,789 places him among entry-level professionals, a category encompassing drivers who beat amateur fields regularly and show occasional speed against more established competition.[2]

He races in fields mixing amateurs with professionals. Alexandre Munoz, the 2025 French F4 champion with 29 starts in that series and three in Formula Regional European, regularly finishes ahead of him. Rayan Caretti, a French F4 regular with 37 starts in that championship, runs closely matched with Sato across their meetings. He has beaten Akshay Bohra, a professional who has raced Italian F4, Formula Regional European and Super Formula Lights, three times over their encounters. Bohra and Kiyoshi Umegaki, both professionals in Super Formula Lights, represent the calibre of established competitors Sato has faced in his current series.
