D’station Announces GT300 Plans Ahead of Fuji GTE Test

D’station Racing has become the latest team in SUPER GT’s GT300 class to firm up its plans for the new season, the Aston Martin squad maintaining an unchanged lineup.

The Fuji Speedway-based team will again field its No. 777 Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo for Tomonobu Fujii and Charlie Fagg, who remain together as a pair for a third season after scoring two wins in the Fuji sprint round last year.

Fujii and Fagg ultimately finished 12th in the championship after a troubled second half of the campaign in which they didn’t score any top ten finishes.

Dunlop, meanwhile, is confirmed as D’station’s tire supplier for what will to mark the final season of open tire competition in SUPER GT.

The No. 777 Aston Martin is set to be in action for next week’s GT Entrants’ Association (GTE) organized test at Fuji, which will be followed by the first of two official pre-season tests at Okayama International Circuit on March 6-7.

As many as 22 cars are expected to attend the Fuji GTE test on Feb. 17-18.

Several teams that are slated to participate in the test have yet to officially confirm their plans for the upcoming season, including PONOS Racing, Anest Iwata Racing, Seven x Seven Racing, Velorex and JLOC, which is set to field two cars at Fuji.

Newly-announced GT300 outfit Rookie Racing is set to be present with its Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo, which is listed with the number 32 on a provisional entry list.

Tsuchiya Engineering, which is also set to be present at Fuji next week, revealed last Friday it has signed Formula 4 graduate and ex-Honda junior driver Ryota Horachi to drive its Toyota GR Supra GT300 alongside Takamitsu Matsui.

Horachi, 19, replaces Kimiya Sato in the team’s lineup after a difficult 2025 campaign that yielded a best finish of 15th place.

D’station Reveals Revamped Ferrari Super Taikyu Effort

On top of its SUPER GT program, D’station also revealed plans to contest Super Taikyu’s top ST-X class with a Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo in a switch of manufacturers.

This will be shared by Fujii, team owner Satoshi Hoshino and Yuta Kamimura, the same trio that drove its Vantage GT3 Evo in the series last year.

Additionally, the team will field a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup in the ST-1 class for Tatsuya Hoshino, Tetsuya Tanaka, Kenji Hama and Taiga Kabaki.
