Early career

edit

In late 2010, Yamada won the Honda SRS-F scholarship 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] He won race two at Autopolis and concluded the season fourth in points.[4]

Super GT

edit

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 Jake Parsons, scoring a best result of 14th twice across the eight-round season.[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, taking a best result of 12th at Fuji.[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]

Yamada remained with SHADE Racing for 2024, racing in the ST-4 class of Super Taikyu,[17] scoring class wins at both Fuji races to help the team end the year runner-up in points.[18][19] Returning to the team and class for the following year,[20] Yamada won both races at Okayama as well as winning the Fuji 24 Hours in class en route to the ST-4 at the end of the year.[21] In 2026, Yamada continued with SHADE for another season in the ST-4 class of Super Taikyu.[22]
