Shinnosuke Yamada (山田 真之亮, Yamada Shinnosuke, born 29 August 1992 in Okayama[1]) is a Japanese racing driver currently racing for SHADE Racing in the ST-4 class of Super Taikyu.
Early career
In late 2010, Yamada won the Honda SRS-F scolarship to compete in the 2011 Formula Challenge Japan.[2]
In 2015, Yamada joined B-Max Racing Team to compete in the inaugural season of the F4 Japanese Championship.[3] Yamada won race two at Autopolis and concluded the season fourth in points.[4]
Super GT
Stepping up to GT300 for 2016, Yamada joined Team UpGarage with Bandoh alongside Yuhki Nakayama.[5]
In 2017, Yamada switched to Team Taisan SARD, partnering Shintaro Kawabata.[6]
Yamada stayed with Team Taisan for the 2018 season.[7] At the season-opener in Okayama, Yamada scored his only points of the season, finishing ninth and scoring two points.[8]
With Team Taisan exiting Super GT following the 2018 season,[9] Yamada returned to Team UpGarage as their third driver for the 2019 season.[10]
In early 2020, it was announced that Yamada would join JLOC alongside Tsubasa Takahashi.[11] At the sixth round of the season at Suzuka, Yamada scored his only points-paying position of the season by taking sixth after benefitting from an earlier safety car intervention.[12]
During 2022 Yamada returned to GT300, racing as SHADE Racing's third driver for the fifth round of the season at Suzuka.[13] However, Yamada didn't run the race and thus wasn't credited with the team's seventh-place finish.[14]
In 2023, Yamada returned to SHADE Racing's GT300 operations as a third driver for five out of eight races.[15] Despite being entered for five races, Yamada didn't run in those and thus wasn't credited with points when Shade Racing finished tenth at Suzuka.[16]
