GetSpeed, D’station First Confirmed Teams for 2023-24

GetSpeed Performance and D’station Racing have become the first teams to announce entries for the 2023-24 Asian Le Mans Series which begins at Sepang in December.

GetSpeed, a front-runner in Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS, will run a pair of Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evos while D’station is planning to bring an Aston Martin Vantage GT3, with entries subject to approval from the selection committee.

Both teams raced in Asian LMS this year and GetSpeed finished third in the GT3 standings with the driver lineup of Raffaele Marciello, Fabian Schiller and Florian Scholze.

“After our premiere participation this year, the Asian Le Mans Series is on our schedule again this winter,” said team principal Adam Osieka.

“With Sepang, we are also looking forward to a new challenge and track which will help us prepare for 2024.

“Due to the great customer interest we are looking forward to participating in the series again with two Mercedes-AMG GT3s.”

D’station has been racing in Asian LMS since the 2019-20 campaign, which was the last one to include races at circuits outside of the United Arab Emirates.

The series transitioned to a short double-header format between Dubai Autodrome and Yas Marina Circuit as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, but is moving back towards international status with the addition of Sepang as the season-opener.

“I am honored to announce our entry to the Asian Le Mans Series for the 2023-2024 season,” said D’station managing director and driver Tomonobu Fujii.

“The addition of the race in Sepang will be a fantastic opportunity for many teams in Asia and I expect the competitive European teams will continue their entries as they have done the last three seasons, so I am excited to start the season.

“With the ACO and SRO collaborating for the upcoming season, we have decided to join the final round of the GT World Challenge Asia at the end of September in Sepang and look forward to starting the Asian Le Mans Series in December.

“Thanks to the logistical planning by the ACO and SRO, we are excited for more races in their championships with Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3.”
