Takuma Sato became the first Japanese driver to win an IndyCar series race on Sunday, delivering a dominant performance to win the Grand Prix of Long Beach.

Sato, who drives the No 14 car for AJ Foyt Racing, led 50 of 80 laps on the 3,167-kilometre Long Beach street circuit and held off American Graham Rahal in a race that ended under caution because of an accident involving Tony Kanaan.
