Phil Keen is switching to the GT4 class this year after joining Jon Currie and Team Parker Racing.
Keen has more series wins than anyone else thanks to 19 GT3/overall and two class victories but has never stood atop a GT4 podium during his 20-year British GT career. That is partly due to a lack of opportunities: hic CV includes just two GT4 outings, both of which were made in 2012.
He joins full-season debutant Currie who made his first appearance at Donington last year, also at the wheel of TPR’s Mercedes-AMG. It’s a car he knows well after also racing it in this year’s GT4 Winter Series, as well as GT Cup throughout 2024.
“I’m thrilled to be competing in my first full British GT campaign with Team Parker Racing,” said Currie, who has also race with Keen in other series. “Last year’s experience at Donington gave me a taste of the championship, and I knew I wanted to come back for more. Having Phil as my teammate is a fantastic opportunity, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Keen added: “It’s great to be racing in British GT again, especially with Jon and Team Parker Racing. Jon has shown impressive progress, and I’m looking forward to helping him take the next step in his GT racing journey. The Mercedes-AMG GT4 is a strong car, and we’re aiming to be competitive from the start.”
The full-season GT4 duo join Endurance Cup contenders Ed McDermott and Seb Morris at TPR this year. Both Mercedes-AMGs will feature retro DTM liveries.
British GT’s wider entry list will be revealed during media day at Silverstone this Friday before Donington hosts round one on April 5-6.
