Igor Fraga

Igor Omura Fraga (born September 26, 1998) is a Japanese-born Brazilian racing driver who competes in the Super Formula Championship and in Super GT, both for Nakajima Racing. Beginning in competitive kart racing at a young age in Japan, Fraga graduated to junior formulae eleven years later in 2015, starting out in Formula 3 Brasil. Fraga moved to Europe in 2019 to compete in the Formula Regional European Championship, placing 3rd overall, then progressed to FIA Formula 3 with Charouz Racing System in 2020. Fraga also became the Toyota Racing Series champion in 2020, winning the title by six points ahead of Liam Lawson. He became a member of the Red Bull Junior Team in the process, lasting a year. He returned to Japan in 2022, earning a Super Formula Lights test and later a full-time seat the next season. Fraga has also been successful in sim racing, winning the McLaren Shadow Project in 2018 and securing a number of titles in Gran Turismo-based tournaments. Fraga's success in the latter, including four titles across three disciplines in the Gran Turismo World Series, allowed him to gain backing from Polyphony Digital, who supported his drive in the 2019 Formula Regional European Championship, and have followed his career since.
