Japanese racing driver
Hisashi Wada (和田 久, Wada Hisashi, born 7 June 1962)[1] is a Japanese racing driver and team principal.
Racing career
Wada began competing in professional motorsports in 1984 in the Suzuka Silver Cup, driving a Toyota AE86; he converted a pole to a win and finished second in the series standings. He would later compete in open-wheeled racing, competing in FJ1600, Japanese Formula 3 and Japanese Formula 3000 with some success.[2]
Wada first competed in what is now known as Super GT in 1995 as a part-time competitor for two teams, participating in two races. Wada would later move to RE Amemiya Racing and then JLOC, where he would spend much of his career. A move to 910 Racing in 2000 netted him a win and 3rd in the championship two years in a row before moving back to JLOC. While at JLOC, Wada was noted for his aggressive driving style.[3] In 2010, Wada started his own team, R'Qs Motor Sports, where he acts as team principal and the team's representative director.[4]
He went by the pseudonym of WADA-Q from 2003 to 2005.[1][2]
