A multi-tonal D'Station AMR completes opening round of their Super Taikyu Series return

Sunday, March 23, 2025

 


The opening round of the Super Taikyu Series became something of a multi-tonal event for the D’Station Racing team after an earlier incident changed their intended colour scheme.

Returning to the second tier of domestic GT racing in Japan with one of the Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 Evo’s, the #777 Satoshi Hoshino, Tomonobu Fujii and (substitute driver) Yuta Kamimura had intended to start the year with an all-new red livery however, an incident during Qualifying saw the need for need panels which were of the more familiar green colour scheme.


That incident saw the A+B drivers within the car (Hoshino and Fujii) unable to complete the required session.

With the team having to spend much of the time after qualifying conducting the necessary repairs, the #777 was at least able to take part within the four-hour season opener from Motegi where they eventually claimed P3 within the ST-X class – albeit four laps down to their peers.


The next round of the series will be from Suzuka at the end of the April.

We think that this ad-hoc livery design is somewhat pleasing to the eye!!
