He scored a podium on his debut at Suzuka, and took another third place at the Suzuka endurance round.

During the following two seasons, he scored three more podium finishes.

Yamamoto entered the Super Formula Championship (then known as Formula Nippon) in 2010, driving a Honda-powered car for Nakajima Racing.

He scored seven top-seven finishes in the eight races of 2010, finishing seventh in the standings in his first year.

2013

In 2013, Yamamoto transferred to the Weider Modulo Dome Racing team, and took his first Super GT victory at the Suzuka 1000km endurance race.

In their first race together at Okayama, Yamamoto and Button finished second.

They finished second again at Suzuka in May, then won at Sportsland Sugo and finished third at Motegi to clinch the GT500 Drivers' and Teams' Championships.

He was in position to win his third GT500 title in four years at the final race at Fuji, but was taken out of contention after being hit by GT300 class Honda driver Ren Sato.

Yamamoto finished the year third in the championship.

In the first race for Team Kunimitsu since the death of founder Kunimitsu Takahashi, Yamamoto and Makino finished second at Okayama.

They ended the year with a win at Motegi from pole position, as Yamamoto finished third in the championship for the second consecutive season.

After the race, Yamamoto, Makino, and team principal Kazuhiro Kojima carried a portrait of Takahashi with them to the post-race interviews.

Yamamoto suffered a violent crash during the sixth round of the 2023 season at Sugo, when his car hit the guardrail and flipped over after colliding with a GT300 car along the frontstretch.

He was diagnosed with a neck injury which forced him to miss the rest of the Super GT and Super Formula seasons.
