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