From 1991 to 1992, he competed in the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship, including dual APRC/WRC rounds such as Rally Australia and Rally New Zealand.

In 1993, with a twin-engined Cultus, Tajima won the Unlimited Division, finishing second overall.

2002

As the Junior World Rally Championship project took off in 2002, he decided to retire from rally driving while he was competing in the Asia Pacific Rally to become team manager of Suzuki Sport.

However, World Rally Championship calendar changes meant Suzuki's team debuted in 2008.

Tajima took Pikes Peak that year with a newer version of the Escudo.
