# Hisashi Wada

Hisashi Wada (和田 久, Wada Hisashi, born 7 June 1962) 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.
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. In 2010, Wada started his own team, R'Qs Motor Sports, where he acts as team principal and the team's representative director.
He went by the pseudonym of WADA-Q from 2003 to 2005.
