Career

edit

Takeuchi competed in the Japanese Touring Car Championship between 1996 and 1998.[1][2] He competed in the All-Japan GT Championship between 1995 and 2004, winning it in 2001.[2] He continued to compete in the series after it became Super GT in 2005, competing in the GT300 class until 2007.
