Kin-Comedian Ryo Tamura Participates in Super Taikyu Fuji 24 Hours for the First Time: A Car Enthusiast in His Natural Element
Ryo Tamura, a comedian from the popular comedy duo London Boots, has taken a new and exciting path, venturing into the world of motorsports. His debut at the Super Taikyu Fuji 24 Hours race in 2025 marks a significant shift from his usual comedic endeavours[1].
Tamura's interest in cars is well-documented, with his own YouTube channel showcasing his passion for vehicles[4]. This passion led him to visit the Super Taikyu Mirai Organization, where he sought to learn about the Super Taikyu from the ground up[8].
At the event, Tamura was paired with experienced driver Masahiro Sasaki, who took the time to teach him about Car #32, a unique vehicle equipped with a CO2 development device and a new, oval-shaped liquid hydrogen tank[1][3].
Tamura, who is relatively inexperienced in motorsports, found the experience both challenging and enlightening. He was particularly surprised by Chairman Akio Toyoda's unexpectedly fast race time[9]. Initially, Tamura had viewed Toyota's interest in motorsports as a mere hobby, but his conversation with the chairman revealed a deeper commitment[10].
The upcoming episode of Toyota Times News will feature Tamura's journey learning about the Super Taikyu[7]. The episode is designed to be enjoyable for everyone, regardless of interest or knowledge in motorsports[11].
The Super Taikyu is a series that focuses on amateur drivers, with the unranked ST-Q class specifically for cars under development to create cars for the future[12]. Tamura, along with his friend Yuta Tomikawa, entered the ST-Q class with the goal of driving all the cars he admired in his youth from the 80s and 90s[6].
Tamura's trademark blond hair and infectious enthusiasm are sure to bring a unique energy to the world of motorsports. His debut at the Super Taikyu Fuji 24 Hours race is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter in his life.
