Atasuke Shimabukuro

Atasuke Shimabukuro is a Japanese driver, born in 1984. Normally in a tester's role for the Formula Medallion, he made his race debut in the Formula Medallion Winter Series at Fern Bay on 6 January 2008. The RRL chose him to deputise for the injured star driver Ioan Ghiță, put out of action after the 2007 Blackwood Formula Medallion Winter's first-lap accident. This meant that Shimabukuro is the first Japanese driver to race in the mini-series.
