BRITISH GT

The Cheshire-based circuit is the traditional opening race of the British GT Championship and 2018 is no exception. The original circuit was created in 1953 and underwent significant changes in its early years. More recently the circuit was split into three configurations, the most popular being the International and Island Circuits.

A former RAF airbase, the circuit was first used for racing in 1953 in what was a triangular - and very different - layout to the one in use today. The 300 configuration of the circuit came on stream in late in 2011 and is the longest version of the circuit, designed to help passing and provide spectators a better view of the racing action.

Dubbed the 'home of British motorsport,'' Silverstone is arguable the most well-known venue on the British GT calendar. Located in Northampton, the circuit opened in 1943 and hosted the first ever round of the F1 race in 1950. It has held the British Grand Prix continuously since 1987 and British GT since 1993. Silverstone also hosts the third round of the FIA World Endurance Championship in its 2018/19 Super Season.

Along with Silverstone, Donington Park has hosted a round in every British GT championship since it's inception. Apart from being Derek Johnston's favourite circuit in the world, the track is located in the East Midlands and always pulls in a large crowd for the season finale.

Located in the Belgian Ardennes, Spa-Francorchamps is widely regarded as one of the finest race circuits in the world and plays host to the fly-away round of the British GT Championship, the opening round of the FIA World Endurance Championship as well as the 24 Hours of Spa.

Originally a cycle circuit that ran in the reverses direction to today’s classic layout from 1926, Brands Hatch is a fan favourite for many with its unprecedented amphitheatre of the Indy Circuit layout of the circuit.  Motor Racing began after the second World War with Formula 1 machinery running at the Kent-venue through to 1986. British GT competes on the longer 4km GP Circuit.
