Osamu Nakajima

Osamu Nakajima (Shinjitai: 中嶋 修, born 16 June 1958 – 21 October 2012) was a Japanese racing driver.[1][2]

Nakajima died in 2012 during a race at the Suzuka International Racing Course during the 2012 FIA WTCC Race of Japan when, at the Super Taikyu support race, his Nissan Fairlady Z (Z33) slipped in oil and crashed into the Turn 1 barrier. During the investigation, it was discovered Nakajima was in violation of international circuit regulations by failing to wear an approved head and neck restraint.[3]
