Masami Kuwashima (桑島 正美; born 14 September 1950) is a former racing driver from Japan. After some experience in the Japanese lower formulae, he made an attempt at Formula One. A deal to drive in the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix with the RAM team came to nothing, but Kuwashima found a seat with the then-struggling Wolf–Williams Racing, driving a Wolf–Williams FW05. He took part in the first practice session for the race, but proved rather slow. Read more on Wikipedia
