Yuusaku Shibata is an entry-level professional competing in Super GT, a national multiclass endurance championship run in Japan. He races the GT300 class for Tomei Sports, driving a mix of FIA GT3 machinery and Japanese-built GT300 specials. His record spans ten seasons from 2015 to 2025, with 49 starts across that period.[1]
Shibata remains firmly mid-field in the championship. Over a decade of racing, he has not won a title, and his standing in the 2025 season, still in progress, sits at 24th in the championship standings after six rounds. His regular opponents, three-time Super GT GT300 champions Nobuteru Taniguchi and Tatsuya Kataoka, both established professionals, finish ahead of him consistently. Tomei Sports has not registered a race win across its entire indexed history, and Shibata's own race-by-race results have not departed from that pattern.[2]
The field he races contains drivers of markedly higher standing. He has occasionally finished ahead of elite professionals including IndyCar multiple champion Alex Palou and Super Formula champion Sho Tsuboi, each having beaten him in shared-car endurance racing where co-driver performance shapes finishing position as much as his own pace. These isolated results against much stronger drivers are exceptions rather than indicators of his typical competitive level, which sits well below the established professionals he meets regularly in the GT300 class.
