Media day kicks off 2025 British GT campaign at Silverstone

This year’s cars, teams and drivers gather at The Home of British Motor Racing
All 2,000 public tickets sell out ahead of time

 
Season 33 of the British GT Championship officially begins today at Silverstone where 2025’s entries have gathered for the traditional media day.They and the press are joined by 2,000 fans who snapped up all free tickets ahead of time.

 

Eight former and current GT3 and GT4 champions feature on a full-season entry list that also counts nine manufacturers across both classes. They include long-time GT3 absentees Ferrari and Porsche, as well as series debutant Honda.

 

Barwell and Rob Collard will look to defend their GT3 teams’ and drivers’ titles. However, the latter’s quest for a third crown in as many attempts has already been compromised by an unforeseen medical procedure that rules him out of the opening round early next month. Matt Topham deputises in the #1 Lamborghini Huracan that’s also driven by Hugo Cook.

 

Reigning GT4 champion Jack Brown (Optimum) is also back and bidding to become British GT4’s first-ever two-time title winner. However, this will be his first campaign in a Pro-Am entry after teaming up with Marc Warren.

 

Jonny Adam, Will Burns, Andrew Howard, Jack Mitchell, Sandy Mitchell and Seb Morris complete the roster of former overall champions.

 

Burns along with Rob Boston Racing co-driver Will Orton were the only entrants not to be revealed before media day.

 

The Mercedes-AMG is one of four cars contesting the inaugural Endurance Cup. Team Parker, MKH and series debutants Jolt Racing will also appear at both Donington events, Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps.

 

Further full-season entries could be confirmed before Donington hosts British GT’s season opener on April 5-6, while several race-by-race contenders are scheduled to appear throughout the year.

 

All nine races are live on SRO’s GT World YouTube channel and Sky Sports F1
