D'Station Racing back to the GTWCAsia Japan Cup this weekend from Sugo
Tuesday, August 16, 2022
This weekend sees the fourth round of the now shortened GT World Challenge Asia Series and the third round of its Japan Cup from the Sportsland Sugo circuit in the north of the country.
Having already raced in the cup at both Suzuka and Fuji, the D’Station Racing remains the sole Aston Martin Racing team entered in the series with their #47 Vantage GT3 for drivers Satoshi Hoshino and Tomonobu Fujii.
Whereas the opening round of the series for them at Suzuka came straight off the back of their World Endurance Championship duties at Monza, an error from Hoshino late into the weekends second hour long race denied them a potential podium finish before coming back at their local circuit of Fuji with two solid finishes within their Pro-Am class for some much-needed points.
Presently standing some thirty-nine points behind the domineering Ferrari 488 crew of Takeshi Kimura and former D’Station Racing Super GT racer Kei Cozzolino, the four remaining races of the 2022 season still leaves more than enough points available for a change of fortune.
The provisional entry list for this weekend’s two races again features seventeen GT3 cars with a further four GT4 cars to boot.
