Aston Martin returns to Japanese Super GT Championship

Aston Martin will return to the Japanese Autobacs Super GT Championship in 2020 for a renewed assault on the GT300 class with its partner team Pacific D'station Racing and the Vantage GT3.

Following a strong debut season for the Aston Martin Racing-built Vantage GT3 in Japan, where it took two Super Taikyu victories, won the opening round of the Asian Le Mans Series in Shanghai last November and showed significant promise in Super GT, Pacific D'station Racing returns with a highly competitive package and a statement of intent.

Joining the team for this year is works driver and FIA World Endurance Championship GTE class leader Nicki Thiim, who drives alongside multiple Super GT class race-winner Tomonobu Fujii returning for a second season with Aston Martin. Moreover, in a series renowned for its fiercely contested tyre competition, Michelin will supply the team. The first round of the Super GT Championship takes place at Okayama, Japan, on 11 April 2020.
