+ Race-by-race GT4 entries eligible to contest new classification
A new series within a series, the Endurance Cup, will join British GT’s list of class championships this year.
Reserved for GT4 cars, the four-round calendar includes existing two and three-hour races at Donington Park, Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps.
One-off entries have become a regular feature of British GT’s longer races in recent years. The same demand was also evident at the end of 2024 when organisers first informed teams of the new additional class.
Aimed at teams and drivers with a broad range of experience, the championship represents a more cost-effective approach to joining British GT. It is staged at circuits with greater pitlane space than the smaller venues that effectively set British GT’s full-season entry capacity.
Indeed, Endurance Cup entries are also eligible to score full GT4 teams’ and drivers’ championship points and will not be omitted from the overall classification.
Several Endurance Cup entries have already been received, the first of which will be announced this week.
“Shorter pitlanes at Oulton, Snetterton and Brands Hatch have previously limited our full-season capacity, but we always receive interest from new teams eager to try British GT or endurance racing,” said championship manager Lauren Granville. “Grouping these longer races at circuits where pitlanes can accommodate more cars into a formal championship with points, trophies and podiums offers race-by-race GT4 entries something more to aim for each weekend.”
Donington stages the first of this year’s regular and Endurance Cup rounds on April 5-6.
