OBITUARY: KENJIRO SHINOZUKA, AN ENDURANCE RALLY LEGEND
Shinozuka’s driving career will be forever remembered for its association with Mitsubishi. The Toyko native joined the Japanese brand in 1971, but not as a driver. Having initially worked as a salesman and mechanic, Shinozuka was able to pull off an unlikely switch into the driver’s seat of a rally car. Domestic success quickly followed, as did a trip to Kenya for his first WRC event in 1976, where he drove a Mitsubishi Lancer on the grueling Safari Rally.
