A P3 podium rounds off the Super Taikyu Series for the D'Station Racing team in 2025

A P3 podium rounds off the Super Taikyu Series for the D'Station Racing team in 2025

 


It was a final race visit to the podium for the Japanese D’Station Racing team as they secured a P3 finish to the final round of their domestic Super Taikyu Series efforts from their home track of Fuji Speedway.

Having Qualified in fifth, the #777 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 of Satoshi Hoshino, Yuki Kamimura and Tomonobu Fujii driven car still needed a strong overall finish going into this final four-hour race to cement their fourth-place position within their ST-X class championship. Having skipped the Fuji 24 in favour of partnering their ST-1 Porsche effort, the team had no chance of progressing higher within the class as a result, but a poor display could have seen them drop another position.


Starting under fresh clear blue skies and sunshine, the opening couple hours ran clean with only local yellow flags being needed to cover what drama there was on track with the #777 crew still battling for a podium position as the light began to fade into the final hour of racing.


Eventually finishing the race and indeed the season under total darkness, the #777 crew had done enough for them to round off another enjoyable season return to the Super Taikyu Series with a P3 overall result.

No doubt, plans for a 2026 return are underway already.

One more run out for the D'Station Racing team within the Super Taikyu Series' finale

One more run out for the D'Station Racing team within the Super Taikyu Series' finale

 


The Japanese Super Taikyu Series will be running their seventh and final round to their 2025 season this weekend from Fuji Speedway where the locally based D’Station Racing team should again be in attendance with their Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3.

Again running another bumper nine class entry, the #777 D’Station Racing entry will be competing within the seven strong and topflight ST-X class with drivers Satoshi Hoshino, Yuta Kamimura and Tomonobu Fujii again behind the wheel.


The crews absence from the earlier Fuji 24hour round prevents the team from pushing for that illusive overall win with their fourth in class position not quite clear enough from the chasing #101 entry to be safe regardless of Sunday’s results.

Individual class qualifying will again be run over Saturday afternoon before the final four-hour race of the season is waved off at 13:15hrs (local) on Sunday.

The red D'Station Racing AMR Vantage GT3 due back within the Super Taikyu Series this weekend

The red D'Station Racing AMR Vantage GT3 due back within the Super Taikyu Series this weekend


The red D’Station Racing Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT3 should be back on track at the weekend as the second tier Japanese GT series gets back underway at Sugo after their last twenty-four round from Fuji Speedway.

At the twenty-four hour, it was decided to amalgamate their respective driving forces within their #47 ST-1 Porsche 992 entry for which that earned the team an overall P4 finish – first in class for their efforts.


This week, the respective driver crews return to their specific #777 and #47 entries with team owner Satoshi Hoshino again partnering team manager Tomonobu Fujii and Yuta Kamimura.

As a result of preferences made for their home track Fuji 24, the class position of the #777 car has now slipped to fifth in class with now a 59-point margin to the present ST-X class leader.


It will also be back-to-back race weekends for some parts of the D’Station Racing team having just competed within the Super GT’s sole fly away round of that championship over in Sepang, Malaysia last weekend where both Fujii and Charlie Fagg were at the wheel of that #777 AMR there.
