In response to the enquiries received and a developing trend amongst competitors, in 2019 championship organisers introduced a class for GT3 and Sports cars.
The category is open to all Sports/GT cars, whether or not they are within their current period of homologation. Therefore, organisers welcome older models that have exceeded their date for participation in events that are only open to current FIA specification vehicles.
In addition to GT3, other denominations of Sports and GT cars will be accepted and are not subject to the usual technical restrictions regarding air intake, aero and power. These include GT1, GT2, GT4, GTE and other models from Europe, Asia and the USA. However, Le Mans, Daytona and other Prototypes are not eligible.
The GTs will run alongside vehicles currently competing within the existing Time Attack Pro and Pro Extreme Classes. This means cars will need to comply with Motorsport UK Section J construction and safety regulations and operate within the blanket 105db noise limit. Drivers are required to hold a Race Interclub (or higher status) competition licence.
Pirelli, who have a huge wealth of sportscar racing experience, are the championship’s official tyre supplier. They have an extensive stock of sizes and compounds available for GT cars, including — when available — their new super-soft series, a range of tyres not usually available to sportscar owners. A sales and FOC fitting service is present at each round and there are discounted prices on offer for registered competitors.
Drivers who sign-up for the whole season will score championship points and win trophies for first, second and third places in the class. Phased payment plans are available to make the cost of participation easier to manage. Entry is also available on an event-by-event basis for just £420 per-round.
GT3 & Sportscar class competitors will take part in all four 15-minute (minimum) sessions: Warm-up, Practice, Qualifying and the Final, providing drivers with at least an hour of track time at each meeting. Championship points are awarded in the Qualifying and the Final sessions, with the finishing positions in the Final dictating the overall result.
