BRITISH GT CHAMPIONSHIP

The Cheshire-based circuit is the traditional opening race of the British GT Championship and 2019 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. The 2018 meeting took place in treacherous conditions, meaning that the second race was declared behind the safety car but with a double podium, it was a springboard to a very successful season.

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. 2018 saw TF Sport take victory in both races in what was a near perfect weekend for the team. The aim remains the same this year...

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. TF Sport enjoyed good results at the circuit in 2018 with the win at the Silverstone 500 and the runner-up position in the World Endurance Championship.

Along with Silverstone, Donington Park has hosted a round in every British GT Championship since its inception. The track is located in the East Midlands and always pulls in a large crowd. For 2019, the British GT Championship makes two visits to the circuit, the first being in June.

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. The 2018 edition of the race wasn’t kind to TF Sport, despite the team’s superb record at the venue and the team aim to get back onto the Belgian podium once again.

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 Grand Prix Circuit. With passing all but impossible, Nicki Thiim secured a podium after a hard drive through the field in 2018.
