First Entries Announced for the 2023/2024 Asian Le Mans Series!

The Asian Le Mans Series is on track to feature another bumper grid with entries from two front running GT teams announced this week. 

Long standing Asian Le Mans Series entrant, Japanese team D’station Racing have announced their intention to return for the fifth season in a row. Joining them will be the highly successful German team, GetSpeed. 

D’station Racing – Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3

Owned by Satoshi Hoshino, the D’station Racing team have been competing at racetracks around Japan, and the world since 2017.  Joining the Asian Le Mans Series for the first time in the 2019/2020 season the team quickly made a mark, with victory at the 4 Hours of Shanghai in their inaugural season. The following year the team made the step up to the FIA World Endurance Championship, where they continue to compete on the global stage.  

For the 2023 / 2024 Asian Le Mans Series, the team has once again submitted an entry for an Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 in the GT class.* 

The team has also announced plans to add Sepang to its Fanatec GT World Challenge Asia Powered by AWS campaign after contesting the series’ four Japanese events. The round will be held at the end of September at the Sepang International Circuit – the same location as the opening round of the 2023 / 2024 Asian Le Mans Series.

QUOTE: Tomonobu Fujii, Team Managing Director

“I am honoured to announce our entry to the Asian Le Mans Series for the 2023-2024 season. The addition of the race in Sepang will be a fantastic opportunity for many teams in Asia and I expect the competitive European teams will continue their entries as they have done the last three seasons, so I am excited to start the season. With the ACO and SRO collaborating for the upcoming season, we have decided to join the final round of the GT World Challenge Asia at the end of September in Sepang and look forward to starting the Asian Le Mans Series in December. Thanks to the logistical planning by the ACO and SRO, we are excited for more races in their championships with Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3.”
