D'Station Racing reverse the points tide with a fourth place finish at Suzuka earlier today Sunday, August 23, 2026 Again running both Tomonobu Fujii and Charlie Fagg aboard the green liveried #777 car, the last round of the season was a bitter pill for them all to swallow as both high success ballast and a fuel flow restrictor saw it impossible for them to even consider even a lower end points finish, but this weekend was different. Starting on a bright and warm track, it was full defence mode for most of the opening lap as the #777 defended its second position on track with Viger – sometimes going the long way around the corners just to stay where they were before eventually the challenging Mercedes did drop back. The team would maintain their position up until the first FCY for a stranded GT500 in the gravel on lap seventeen. With just five laps to go, a late Safety Car for another GT500 car in the gravel and tyre wall calmed things down but the circuit damage would see the race finishing still behind the Safety Car with the D’Station Racing crew claiming enough points to pull their championship points back up to second in class as the series heads to Sugo towards the end of September.
