Ryo Michigami is a retired professional racing driver who spent fifteen seasons in graded motorsport. Graded FIA Silver, he competed primarily in Super GT, where he made 81 starts for Yogibo Drago Corse across a fourteen-year span from 2008 to 2021. He raced the GT300 class, driving a Honda NSX GT3 Evo in shared-driver endurance races alongside occasional campaigns in the World Touring Car Championship and earlier single-seater and endurance events.[1]
Michigami took one victory in Super GT and added ten podiums there, a win and podium from the World Touring Car Championship in 2016โ2017, and competed in Formula 3 Macau and the FIA GT Championship once each. His final campaign came in 2017 when he contested twenty rounds of the World Touring Car Championship for Honda Racing Team JAS, finishing thirteenth in the championship standings with a single podium.[2]
He raced regularly against established professionals in Super GT, holding closely matched records against Joรฃo Paulo de Oliveira, a Platinum-graded driver and two-time Super GT GT300 champion, and Hironobu Yasuda, a Gold-graded professional. Michigami finished ahead of Sho Tsuboi, an elite professional and multiple Super GT and Super Formula champion, on three occasions, and twice beat Alex Palou, who went on to become a five-time IndyCar champion and Platinum-graded driver.
