Bcarr6 should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridBcarr6 should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
So we are at 31 cars of the previously confirmed 36 entries listed.

I say this every year, but the way British GT tease/announce entries is by far the best out of any GT series. Great way of building the excitement.

So we have 3 more announcements this week.

Thurs 9am GT3, Thurs 5pm GT3+GT4, Fri 9am GT4.

Beechdean AMR have been doing a delightful blast from the past recap on Instagram this week cumulating in a pic of last years GT3, and the question of what could we possibly be doing this year? So my best guess is Thurs 9am GT3 is Beechdean.

Paddock certainly have a GT4 yet to be accounted for, so that does make most sense for friday.

Thursday 5pm seems likely to be one team announcing a combined GT3 and GT4 entry. This is most likely RACE LAB. They have teased this week being announcement week for their 2024 programme but no news yet. Last year they ran 2 GT3's and 1 GT4, so it would add up.

Anyone tracking to this point is probably asking where car 36 is? No idea.. Maybe Racelabl do 2 GT3s again, maybe Beechdean do 2. You tell me

Again really exciting diversity on the grid in both classes:

GT3
Mclaren- 6 (likely 7); Mercedes- 3; BMW- 3; AMR- 2 (likely 3); Lamborghini- 2

GT4
Ford- 2; BMW- 2; AMR- 2; Lotus- 2; Mercedes- 2; Ginetta- 1; Mclaren 1 (likely 3); Audi- 1; Toyota- 1

5 MFG's in GT3 with over half of that grid comprising of British car makers.

A great 9 MFG's in GT4, and 4 different British car makers making up nearly half the grid there.

Nice to see not just a majority British car set in British GT again, but increased diversity with Lotus being added to the fold. Gives it a nice distinction against something like ADAC GT Masters that is rightly dominated by the German car makers.
