D'Station Racing search for that edge that will keep them in Super GT GT300 Championship contention
Monday, October 28, 2024
That means that this weekend’s trip to Twin Ring Motegi circuit will be its penultimate three-hour round before a rescheduled trip to Suzuka in mid-December.
For the D’Station Racing entry, this weekend sees another clash with its World Endurance Championship crew as they embark upon the final eight-hour round of that series over in Bahrain in what mainstream media has reported to be, their final WEC involvement before a more concentrated Super GT Series approach next season.
That means that Team Manager Tomonobu Fujii will be again on domestic racing duties this weekend as he and co-driver Charlie Fagg seek out that little bit of difference in race pace that will see them break their recent performance mould and take the GT300 Championship race to the two crews presently listed above them in class.

Despite a decent Qualifying and early race pace last time out at Autopolis two weeks ago, a late Safety Car period for a heavy impact involving a topflight GT500 car saw the #777 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 get caught out in its final push to the flag to finish fifth overall in class despite having lead the class for much of the race.
Going into this penultimate round, results from Autopolis have seen the crew slip to fourth in the drivers table (from third beforehand) but still just twenty points behind the class leaders and with twenty points being available per round, the GT300 class is still wide open.
