Rounding off the Aston Martin Racing powered involvement around the world this weekend is another significant GT series kicking off its 2026 campaign as the Japanese Super GT season gets underway at Okayama.
Formerly running as part of an eight-round calendar but some new released by the series earlier in the week saw there long haul to Sepang get postponed indefinitely with the series citing increasing travel costs as the reason.
Despite that, the headlining Japanese GT series continues to be in rude health both in the topflight GT500 class as well as the GT3 based GT300 class which is where we will find the D’Station Racing Aston Martin Raving Vantage GT3 again.
This time familiarity will be the case as drivers Tomonobu Fujii and Charlie Fagg reunite for another campaign in the class, something that the team excelled at during the middle of last season before unfortunately falling away at the end after crashing out of an important round.
Fagg has also been able to make it over to Japan for one of the two official tests that the series ran at both Okayama and Fuji so dependent upon what the weather is like at the moment at Okayama, will depend upon the Dunlop shod Aston’s chance within this heavily competitive series within a GT300 class size of twenty nine cars
