Kazuo Mogi (茂木 和男, Mogi Kazuo, born 2 February 1953) is a retired Japanese racing driver.

Racing career

[edit]

Mogi first began professional competition in 1975, driving a Nissan Sunny. He competed in the FJ1600 Championship, joining midway through 1980, driving a West 80J;[1] he would later participate in the Japanese Formula 3000 Championship and the All Japan Endurance Championship, but it was the Japanese Touring Car Championship where he is most well known.[citation needed]

Mogi is a three-time Japanese Touring Car champion, winning the title in 1985, 1989 and 1992. Mogi also won the 1987 All Japan Sports Prototype Car Endurance Championship with Kunimitsu Takahashi in a Porsche 962C. In 1992, Mogi tested the HKS 300E V12 engine intended for use in Formula One in a stretched Lola T91/50 chassis.[2]

Mogi then competed in the All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship from 1994 before retiring from racing in 1997.[citation needed]
