# Ayato Iwasaki

Ayato Iwasaki (岩崎 有矢斗, Iwasaki Ayato, born 9 June 2004 in Osaka) is a Japanese racing driver set to compete for B-Max Racing Team in the F4 Japanese Championship.

## Early career
### Formula 4
#### 2022

At the fourth round of that year's F4 Japanese season, Iwasaki made his Formula 4 debut, replacing Katsunori Keihara at Buzz Racing. Returning to Buzz Racing for the final two rounds of the season, Iwasaki scored points in all but one of the final four races.

#### 2025

Following a year spent in various karting competitions, Iwasaki returned to single-seaters, joining B-Max Racing Team ahead of the 2025 F4 Japanese Championship.

### Formula Regional
#### 2022

In early 2022, Iwasaki made his car racing debut, racing in the 2022 Formula Regional Asian Championship for Pinnacle Motorsport. Iwasaki scored a best result of 11th, in his second ever race, and finished 27th in the standings.

#### 2023

Iwasaki returned to the rebranded Formula Regional Middle East Championship, replacing Pepe Martí at Pinnacle VAR for the second Kuwait round. On his return, Iwasaki scored a best result of 18th in race two.

### GB3 Championship
#### 2022

In late 2022, it was announced that Iwasaki would make his GB3 debut in the final round of that year's final round of the season at Donington Park for Elite Motorsport. On his maiden round in the championship, Iwasaki scored a best result of sixth in race three after starting from the front row.

#### 2023

Iwasaki stayed with Elite Motorsport to compete full-time in the 2023 GB3 Championship. At the opening round at Oulton Park, Iwasaki went from eighth to second in race three to score his only podium in GB3. However, that would be the highest point of the season, as Iwasaki could only muster a best result of sixth in Snetterton's race three before leaving the championship with four rounds left.
