Race winners Tomlinson and Middleton make British GT return at Silverstone

Freddie Tomlinson and Stuart Middleton will make their British GT Championship comeback together at Silverstone this weekend when they team up with French Ginetta specialist, CMR.

The Silver duo will race the upgraded G56 GT4 Evo after winning with its predecessor at Snetterton last season. They also came close to victory two rounds earlier at Silverstone where a pitlane infringement ultimately proved decisive.

Middleton also clinched the championship with a Ginetta back in 2017, while CMR has significant history with the Yorkshire manufacturer in its native France. Indeed, the team has already tasted success in FFSA GT this year.

“I’m looking forward to racing at Silverstone again, this time in the new GT4 car,” said Tomlinson. “I think it's even better suited than the car we had last year. Losing a win because of a penalty never feels great but I’m confident in the team, the car and myself and we’ll be pushing all the way to get the win the team deserved last year.”

Saturday’s qualifying session and Sunday’s three-hour race are both live on Sky Sports F1 and SRO’s GT World YouTube channel. The season-high 43-strong entry – of which 19 are GT4 cars – will take the start at 12:30 BST.
