Ren Satō

Born in 2001 and already making a career out of going fast — something about that just gets me. Ren Sato is a racing driver out of Yokohama, still in his mid-twenties, and honestly the sheer audacity of choosing motorsport as your day job at that age is kind of awe-inspiring. He won the Japanese F4 title in 2019, was Super Formula rookie of the year in 2022, and now drives for Honda in both Super Formula and Super GT, which reads as someone who lets the lap times do the talking. That's exactly what makes watching a driver like this interesting.
