Donington or Snetterton are equipped to hold WEC or GTWC Endurance.

SRO GT do use Brands, as they have done previously. They used to use Silversone, but not anymore. WEC and ELMS used to use Silverstone but not anymore due to disputes over money with the ACO as has been posted on this site several times. The other UK tracks are either less accessible, have poor facilities by 2023 standards or are more suited to bikes.
There are quite a few circuits in Europe now to choose from with recently updated facilities to grade one standard. Mugello, Zandvoort, Imola etc.
Silverstone don’t seem very interested in hosting international series other than F1 and Moto GP. You can understand the reluctance from a purely financial standpoint but it provides a raw deal for UK motorsports fans.
