Interesting to see if Sam Neary will drive the Abba Merc. Was very fast in GT Cup and Britcar last couple of months. Able to beat Igoe round Brands in GT Cup for example.

Ooh, a new GT4 from Saleen, eligible for SRO series. Wonder if we'll get any?

is it just me or do british gt do a great job of maintaining the hype over the off-season? they constantly drip-feed the entry and driver announcements, and each one is exciting even when it isn't. it's november and we've already got a reasonable idea about next season's grid, and they've been releasing information since pretty much the end of the season in september.
good to see some of the quicker gt cup entries joining (or in many cases, returning). |

Apparently Beechdean AMR will be present with a pair of GT3 Vantages at least, not sure on GT4s.

That puts us at an interesting space in grid sizes.
Knowing we have a 35 entry cap, you can assume they would ideally like something around 15 GT3's and 20 GT4's Heres the CONFIRMED ONLY entries so far GT3 ABBA Racing - Mercedes AMG GT3 - Richard Neary / Sam Neary Balfe Motorsport - Mclaren 720s GT3 - Rob Bell / Shaun Balfe Barwell Motorsport - Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo - Adam Balon / Phil Keen JMH Automotive - Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo - John Seale / Jamie Stanley RAM Racing - Mercedes AMG GT3 Evo - Ian Loggie / Yelmer Buurman RAM Racing - Mercedes AMG GT3 Evo - Sam De Haan / Patrick Kujala Total - 6 Add to that the likely 2x TF Sport cars, 1x Beechdean, potentially 1 more Barwell, 1-2 Bentleys, 1-2 Century GT3's, you'd already be at 14.... GT4 Academy Motorsport - Ford Mustang GT4 - TBA / TBA Academy Motorsport - Ford Mustang GT4 - TBA / TBA Balfe Motorsport - Mclaren 570s GT4 - TBA / TBA Balfe Motorsport - Mclaren 570s GT4 - TBA / TBA Century Motorsport - BMW M4 GT4 - Ben Hurst / Andrew Gordon-Colebrooke Century Motorsport - BMW M4 GT4 - TBA / TBA Optimum Motorsport - Aston Martin Vantage GT4 - Connor O’Brien / TBA Optimum Motorsport - Aston Martin Vantage GT4 - TBA / TBA Tolman Motorsport - Mclaren 570s GT4 - Katie Milner / Michael Benhahia Tolman Motorsport - Mclaren 570s GT4 - Harry Hayek / Alain Valente Total - 10 But of course as always the tighter squeeze would be in GT4, with 10 cars already confirmed, even if there was only a 14 car GT3 grid, there is only another 11 spaces available. HHC are taking their Mclarens to the continent in 2020, so we will likely see this years 6 Mclaren GT4s go down to the current confirmed 4. A small easing of pressure. I always think the British GT off season is the most fascinating. They announce a nice trickle of entries regularly with which teams play along with, and the grid capacity for certain circuits makes for an interesting conundrum. EDIT- I Also wonder if we will see the newly appointed Mclaren factory driver Euan Hankey here, with new Mclaren Development driver Ollie Wilkinson.... Or maybe they end up in the GT Open |
