The International GT Open 2016 heads to the United Kingdom for its last round before the summer break: it will be the legendary Silverstone GP Circuit, which has become one of the most popular fixtures of the calendar, to host the fourth round of the season, and if current forecasts are right, good weather will again be part of the warm welcome that the GT Sport series always receive at the Northamptonshire track!

Interest for the GT Open and its sister series, the Euroformula Open, is rising steadily in the UK, and this is reflected not only by the increased number of British teams in both series, but also by the reactions of fans and media. Interestingly enough, Britain’s leading TV sports chancel BT Sport, who broadcast live GT Sport series in the country, will deploy significant mobile means at Silverstone to offer enhanced coverage of the event (up to 5 hours per day), including features and interviews from the paddock.

Fans at the track will enjoy a rich and exciting race programme, as the Formula V8 3.5 joins for the second time this year, alongside a regular and spectacular partner such as the Radical European Masters.

At Silverstone, the GT Open will hit the half-season mark, as Sunday’s Race 2 will be the one opening the second part of the season. Yet, anything is far from done with regard to the title battles, which, this year, appear closer than ever. The British round will certainly see some interesting duels.
