Quote from Tomonobu Fujii
D'station Racing Team Managing Director / WEC Program Manager

I am very excited to announce our entry for the FIA World Endurance Championship and the 89th 24 Hours of Le Mans. Being able tocompete in the FIA WEC series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans has been a major goal for D‘station Racing since its inauguration. As thisproject comes to fruition, I recall all the preparation we went through with Aston Martin, AMR, and Tom Ferrier from TF Sport. I want tothank them from the bottom of my heart for their ongoing support.
D’station Team Owner, Mr. Hoshino has always been a true athlete with a career that led to three appearances in the Fencing WorldChampionships. Even in establishing his business, he has been a high-level performer, where he rapidly grew the company to become aleading corporation in the competitive Amusement & Entertainment industry in Japan. It has always been Mr. Hoshino’ s life ambition tocompete not only in the FIA WEC series, but also in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. I am ﬁlled with excitement and anticipation to ﬁnally be able
to take on this challenge with D'station Racing and Mr. Hoshino. I expect that we will face many challenges going into the most competitive championship series in the world; but I am certain that we will develop as a team as we continue to strive for success. We are very
looking forward to the ﬁrst round of WEC in Sebring.
