Sho Tsuboi is an elite professional, FIA Platinum–graded driver competing in Japanese domestic motorsport. He races for TGR Team au Tom's in Super GT, where he drives GT500 cars in a multiclass endurance championship, and for Vantelin Team TOM'S in Super Formula, a single-class national championship raced one driver per car. Across both series he has won five championships: the Super GT title in 2021, 2023 and 2024, and the Super Formula championship in 2024 and 2025.[1]
Over eleven indexed seasons from 2016 to 2026, Tsuboi has taken 24 wins and 50 podiums from 153 starts across Super GT, Super Formula, endurance racing in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, and single-seater competition in Formula 3 Macau. His record in Super GT spans 75 starts with 15 wins and 27 podiums; in Super Formula he has 70 starts, 9 wins and 23 podiums. In the current 2026 season, four rounds into the Super GT campaign, he has won all four races and taken four podiums.[2]
Among the regular opposition Tsuboi faces are Tadasuke Makino, the 2020 Super GT GT500 champion and a Gold-graded professional, and Tomoki Nojiri, the back-to-back Super Formula champion in 2021 and 2022 and an established professional with 99 Super GT starts and 69 in Super Formula. Tsuboi runs closely matched against both. He has also finished ahead of drivers of higher profile outside Japan, including three times over Liam Lawson, an elite professional who has raced Formula 1 and Formula 2, and twice over Alex Palou, a five-time IndyCar champion and fellow Platinum-graded driver.
