Yusuke Tomibayashi (冨林 勇佑, Tomibayashi Yūsuke, born 4 May 1996 in Yokohama[1]) is a Japanese racing driver and sim racer currently competing for Pacific Racing Team in the GT300 class of Super GT. He is the 2022 Toyota Gazoo Racing GR86/BRZ Cup champion.[2]

Esports career

[edit]

Starting his career on racing simulators, Tomibayashi saw early success on Gran Turismo Sport-based championships, winning the FIA-sanctioned 2016 Manufacturer Fan Cup and taking fifth in the 2018 Roots Japan Cup Final.[3][4]

In 2019, Tomibayashi won the Roots Japan Cup Final and the National Prefectural eSports Championship at Ibaraki, representing Kanagawa.[5][6] Three years later, in 2022, he participated in the iRacing-based Suzuka E-Sports Challenge Race along with Iori Kimura.[7]

Super Taikyu

Tomibayashi won at Autopolis and Suzuka to clinch his second ST-3 title with a race to spare.[8][9]

2022

[edit]

Tracy Sports with Delta retained Tomibayashi for the 2022 season, staying in ST-3 class alongside the returning Hirotaka Ishii, and Takashi Ito who moved over from the 41 car.[10] Tomibayashi won at Sugo and clinched his third ST-3 title in a row.[11][12]

2023

[edit]

Staying with Tracy Sports with Delta for the fourth season in a row, Tomibayashi moved to the ST-4 class for the 2023 season.[13] Tomibayashi took wins at Motegi and Okayama to win his fourth straight Super Taikyu title and first in ST-4.[14][15][16]

2024

[edit]

Tomibayashi stayed in the ST-4 class for the 2024 season, continuing a five year-long partnership with Tracy Sports with Delta.[17] In the final race of the season, Tomibayashi was leading in his class but suffered a tire failure in the closing stages, which forced the car into retirement and had to settle for third in the standings.[18]

Super GT

[edit]

2022

[edit]

Tomibayashi stepped up to Super GT's GT300 class in 2022, joining Team Mach alongside Reiji Hiraki, becoming Japan's first sim-racer to race in the series.[19] In only his third race in GT300, Tomibayashi finished on the podium, taking second place at Suzuka.[20]

2023

[edit]

Towards the end of 2022, it was announced that Tomibayashi would return to Team Mach for the 2023 season, alongside Takamitsu Matsui.[21] In the opening race of the season at Okayama, Tomibayashi scored 15th place in a weekend headlined by rain.[22]

2024

[edit]

After two years at Team Mach, Tomibayashi joined Pacific Racing Team ahead of the 2024 season alongside Ryohei Sakaguchi.[23] In the second round at Fuji, Tomibayashi ended the race in 12th, which would turn out to be his season-best result.[24]
