🇯🇵 Yuichi Nakayama

Yuichi Nakayama is a Japanese racing driver competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship with Akkodis ASP Team. Before moving into endurance racing, he built his career in Japanese single-seaters, winning the All-Japan Formula Three Championship in 2013 and later competing in Super Formula, primarily with KCMG. He is also affiliated with Toyota Gazoo Racing and has raced in Super GT for TGR Team SARD, giving him a broad background across Japan's top domestic categories before stepping into world championship competition.[1]

At the WEC level, Nakayama remains without a win, podium, or championship across three career starts, reflecting a driver still early in his time at this stage of competition. His 2026 season has produced two rounds with no wins or podiums, leaving him P112 in the standings. His Racer Rating of 4,718 places him 652nd among active drivers on the platform's Elo-style scale, indicative of a competitor working to establish himself against a deep international field. As an active driver with Akkodis ASP Team, Nakayama's WEC record to date consists solely of these three starts, and his ongoing participation in the series will continue to shape his standing in the years ahead.[2]
