Yoshinobu Katsumata was a club-level driver competing in multiclass endurance racing at the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie in 2012, racing a modified production-based car in the SP 3 class for Gazoo Racing.[1]
His sole indexed season consisted of three starts across the championship, from which he took two podium finishes and finished ninth in the season standings. He typically finished behind the series regulars Uwe Wächtler and Markus Fugel, both of whom were among the stronger entrants in the class that year; Wächtler won the SP 3 championship and Fugel finished as runner-up. Katsumata did, however, finish ahead of Naoki Yokomizo, a professional-level driver graded by the FIA and the reigning Super GT GT300 champion, and ahead of Natacha Gachnang, a professional with experience in Formula 3 Euro Series and Star Mazda Championship.[2]
