About Kyoto Motorsport

Who We Are

Kyoto Motorsport is a professional sim racing and drifting team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of virtual motorsports while bridging the gap between sim racing and real-world competition. What started in 2014 as a drift-focused Gran Turismo team has evolved into a multi-discipline powerhouse with drivers competing in Assetto Corsa, iRacing, Gran Turismo, and more.

Our mission? To develop top-tier sim racers, create a thriving motorsports community, and open doors to real-world racing opportunities.

Our Journey

🚀 Founded in 2014 as a grassroots drifting team in Gran Turismo.
🏆 Expanded into multiple platforms—Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
💨 500+ alumni members—from sim racers to real-world motorsports professionals.
🔗 Strong industry connections bridging sim racing with real motorsports.

From precision drifting to high-speed endurance racing, Kyoto Motorsport continues to grow, innovate, and leave its mark on the global racing scene.

The Evolution: A New Identity

In August 2023, Kyoto Motorsport underwent a major transformation, rebranding under a new vision inspired by Sakamoto Ryōma—a historical Japanese figure known for innovation, adaptability, and breaking barriers. His pioneering spirit aligns with our mission to push the limits of motorsports, embrace progress, and elevate sim racing to new heights.

Under this new banner, Kyoto Motorsport thrives as a multi-discipline, multi-platform racing community, committed to training drivers, fostering competition, and opening pathways to real-world motorsports.

What We Believe

Kyoto Motorsport was built on one simple idea!

Real driver development should not be locked behind some ego, gatekeeping, or even fake exclusivity. This team is here for people who want to learn, improve, and be part of something serious without getting judged for where they started.

At Kyoto we treat sim racing and sim drifting as real training tools. What we teach in the simulator across the world right from the comfort of your own home absolutely translates to real life because the core fundamentals stay the same: vision, throttle control, steering timing, weight transfer, line choice, and car control. Racing and Drifting instruction often centers on those same fundamentals, and motorsport training sources describe drifting as controlled oversteer built on timing, control, and technique rather than random style.

That means it does not matter whether you are on a wheel, on a controller, or working toward your first real drift event. If you are willing to listen, apply feedback, and put in the work, your training has value and your progress matters here.

Kyoto Motorsport is a judgment-free team. We do not clown beginners for asking questions, and we do not look down on people because of their hardware, their budget, or their experience level. We care about attitude, consistency, respect, and growth.

This is not a team built around ego. It is built around learning, discipline, and helping drivers become more capable in sim and beyond.
