Long time GT4 contender Will Moore makes his first British GT3 start since 2016 next weekend when he joins Century Motorsport and series debutant Jon Kearney at the Silverstone 500.
The Silver-Am duo will race the same BMW M4 GT3 Evo as Moore and Century are campaigning in GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS this season.
Moore was a British GT4 regular from 2015 until last year and spent much of that time with Academy Motorsport, first driving Aston Martins and then Ford Mustangs. He finished runner-up alongside Matt Cowley in 2021.
His only previous British GT3 foray prior to next weekend came in 2016 when Moore joined Ryan Ratcliffe in an Optimum Audi R8.
Now he links up with series debutant Kearney whose motorsport career began three years ago in the Ginetta GTA Championship. That year he finished runner-up to now fellow Century GT4 driver Ravi Ramyead before returning to series Most recently, Kearney competed in the 24 Hours of Barcelona, finishing third in class.
“I’m very excited and feeling positive for the Silverstone 500,” he said. “The pairing with Will and Century in the BMW has come at a good time in my progress. Testing has been solid and, while we know it’s a guest entry, we’re not here to make up the numbers.”
Moore added: “I’m really looking forward to getting back on track in the UK and joining the British GT grid for the Silverstone 500. It’s a great opportunity to get more mileage in the BMW M4 GT3 EVO, which will only help as we continue our GT World Challenge Europe campaign. Racing at Silverstone is always special, and with the support of Century and Jon alongside me, I think we’ve got a solid package for the weekend. We’re aiming to make the most of it.”
Century won British GT’s Silverstone 500 showpiece outright in 2023 with Darren Leung and Dan Harper and appeared on course to do so again 12 months ago before a refuelling issue dropped the M4 down the order.
