Nishioka Racing Development
The story

From the grid
to the data.

Ryan Nishioka

I started where my drivers are now — in the seat, chasing tenths. A racing driver since 2015, karting taught me that talent gets you on track, but understanding why the stopwatch moves is what gets you on the podium.

Today I run Nishioka Racing Development, working with drivers and teams across Brazil, Costa Rica and Panama — and I've raced internationally, up to the KWC World Final in Belgium. I read telemetry and onboard video the way I once read a corner, and translate it into something a driver can feel and repeat.

My work is part classroom, part track, part race-day psychology. The goal is always the same: a faster, calmer, smarter driver when it matters most.

METHOD

How I
work

Data shows what happened. Video shows how. The driver tells me why. Real progress lives where all three meet.

The journey
2015

On the grid

Started racing karts in Brazil — racecraft, setup and the mental game, learned from inside the cockpit. The foundation for everything I teach.
