Hiroto Tojo (born March 23, 1987 in Yokohama, Japan) is a racing driver that drove for Takagi Racing Enterprises in Rejects of LFS. He was the winner of RoLFS Nippon Super 200 in it's only race in 2015.
Career
Born to a family whose father is a car mechanic, Hiroto's originally wanted to be a tokusatsu actor. However, when he saw a Formula Nippon race on television, his future was shifted to motorsport. He entered a racing school at twenty and entered in a motorsport development programme in 2009. He progressed to Formula Nippon in 2011, but he had largely lacklustre results, save for a few fluke races; for the next two years, his results improved, however. During this time, he announced his ambitious plan of entering IndyCar by 2014, but this did not happen.
Rejects of LFS (2014-2015)
After his IndyCar plans fell through, Tojo was signed up by Takagi Racing Enterprises, a father-son operation by veteran racers Hiroshi and Kazuhiko. In 2014, Tojo only have one feature podium (and points), plus two sprint point finishes, advantaging from reverse grid. This led to the heat system being used in 2015, in which Tojo stayed with TRE. He failed to qualify in Westhill and South City, but won the Nippon Super 200, the last ever RoLFS race held after it was announced the series would be disbanded over safety concerns following the death of Tojo's compatriot Nobushige Fukuda (to which Tojo promptly dedicated his Nippon Super 200 win).
During the season, he had a one-off drive with the TRE's F3RWRS team for a F3RWRS SuperPrix , but he performed poorly.
