Japanese team D’station Racing will return to the GTE AM class of the FIA WEC for a third consecutive season in 2023 once again with the technical support of 2020/2022 Le Mans class Winners and 2022 WEC GTE Am Champions, TF Sport.
D’station Racing duo, Tomonobu Fujii and Satoshi Hoshino return, joined for the 2023 season by 19-year-old silver-graded British driver Casper Stevenson in the #777 Aston Martin Vantage GTE.
Stevenson will make his GTE race debut at the opening round at Sebring in March.
2022 saw the Japanese entrant finish in the top 10 in the GTE AM class, where their season highlight was claiming a home race podium at the 6 Hours of Fuji.
Before the WEC gets underway this season though, D’station Racing and TF Sport will kick off their 2023 campaigns in the Asian Le Mans Series next month, where Hoshino and Fujii will be reunited with their 2022 WEC teammate Charlie Fagg whose 2022 Silver ranking is retained until the completion of the Asian Series.
Tom Ferrier, TF Sport Director: “It was superb to see D’station Racing on the podium at their home race last season and I’m glad we are continuing the partnership with them in the WEC. I have no doubt that it will be another fruitful year for them and this time we will be aiming for a strong finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and an even stronger championship result!”
Tomonobu Fujii, Managing Director of D’station Racing: “I am very excited to announce our entry to the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship. We are honoured to be a part of this series and the 100th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With the trusted support of TF Sport, D’station Racing will compete for even better results in its third season. I want to thank everyone for their continued support and look forward to an excellent year.”
