Three Vantage GT3 powered crews at GT World Challenge Asias visit to Fuji

Wednesday, June 19, 2024

Just the one last time around but this time there will be three Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3’s competing at the next round of the GT World Challenge Asia from Fuji in Japan for that and the next round of Japan Cup.

With Le Mans 24Hours otherwise keeping them from their GTWC Asia duties, the #777 D’Station Racing Vantage GT3 of Satoshi Hoshino and Tomonobu Fujii returns after both Tatsuya Hoshino and Kenji Hama doubled for them at the opening round of the Japan Cup Sugo two weeks ago.

Despite being first time out within one of the teams new 2024 Vantage GT3’s, the Am class pairing did secure a P3 in class finish at the end of race 1 although that was countered with a DNF in race 2.

Whilst the #777 crew run again within the main body of the GT World Challenge Asia Series, the sister #47 Vantage GT3 for Tatsuya Hoshino and Kenji Hama will run within the sub-Japan Cup class alongside sixteen other GT3 and GT4 entries. There will be thirty-three cars running within the main GTWCAsia grid making for a very busy racetrack.

Completing the AMR trilogy at the event will be the return of the #8 Earl Bamber Motorsport prepared Vantage GT3 for solo racer Setiawan Santosa.
