British GT Championship - Season Overview
The 2026 British GT Championship is a national GT series built around two main classes: GT3 and GT4. It brings together professional, semi-professional and amateur driver pairings in race-prepared versions of high-performance road-car machinery. For the FTP Motorsport Hub, its value is clear: British GT gives us a home-based Aston Martin racing strand to follow alongside the global series such as Formula 1, WEC, IMSA and GT World Challenge Europe.
The 2026 season is made up of eight championship rounds across six race weekends. The season opened with the Silverstone 500 in April, followed by two races at Oulton Park, then rounds at Spa-Francorchamps, Snetterton, Donington Park and Brands Hatch. That format means some weekends carry one longer race, while others, such as Oulton Park and Snetterton, include two separate championship races.
Aston Martin is represented in both GT3 and GT4. The headline GT3 entry is the #7 Beechdean Motorsport Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 Evo, driven by Andrew Howard and Aston Martin works driver Ross Gunn. In GT4, the Aston Martin presence is broader, with the #21 MK Racing Vantage AMR GT4 Evo for Will Orton and Jessica Hawkins, the #27 Grange Racing with FSR Vantage AMR GT4 Evo for Daniel Lavery and Darren Turner, the #40 Townsend Racing powered by Fox Motorsport Vantage AMR GT4 Evo for James Townsend and Joe Wheeler, and the #97 GBR Stratton Motorsport Vantage AMR GT4 Evo for John Hartshorne and Ronan Pearson.
British GT Championship - Season in brief so far
The 2026 British GT Championship has now completed its opening four races: the Silverstone 500, the Bank Holiday sprint double-header at Oulton Park, and the overseas round at Spa-Francorchamps.
For Aston Martin, the season has developed into a strong GT4 story and a more complicated GT3 campaign. Beechdean Motorsport began solidly at Silverstone with Andrew Howard and Ross Gunn scoring points in the #7 Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 Evo, before Oulton Park brought the team’s strongest weekend so far. Beechdean started both Oulton races from pole and finished second in both, briefly putting Howard and Gunn right at the sharp end of the GT3 championship picture.
Spa was more difficult for Beechdean. Ross Gunn showed pace again in the #7 Aston Martin, including topping GT3 Qualifying 2, but the race result was compromised by a post-race penalty. After four races, Beechdean sits sixth in the GT3 Teams’ Championship on 54 points, which keeps Aston Martin in the GT3 conversation but underlines how quickly the championship picture can change.
The GT4 side is where Aston Martin’s British GT season looks especially strong. MK Racing’s #21 Vantage AMR GT4 Evo, driven by Will Orton and Jessica Hawkins, has been one of the most consistent cars in the class. After podiums at Silverstone and Oulton Park, the pair left Spa second in the GT4 Drivers’ Championship on 78 points, while MK Racing also sits second in the GT4 Teams’ Championship.
Grange Racing with FSR has added the headline victories. Daniel Lavery and Darren Turner won GT4 at Oulton Park and then repeated the achievement at Spa in the #27 Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 Evo. The Spa result was particularly impressive because the team overcame Compensation Time and a penalty before Turner fought through to take the class win late on.
After Spa, Grange Racing with FSR is fifth in the GT4 Teams’ Championship on 68.5 points, while MK Racing remains Aston Martin’s strongest full-season GT4 title contender in second. The wider Aston Martin GT4 presence also continues through entries such as Townsend Racing powered by Fox Motorsport and GBR Stratton Motorsport.
The current FTP reading is that Aston Martin’s British GT season has two different shapes. In GT3, Beechdean has shown real speed but needs results to fall back into place after Spa. In GT4, the Vantage AMR GT4 Evo is already a proven race winner and a serious championship contender, with MK Racing providing consistency and Grange Racing with FSR delivering the headline victories.

Round 04 - Spa-Francorchamps; Grange/FSR Gives Aston Martin a GT4 Victory in Belgium
British GT’s annual Spa-Francorchamps visit delivered a strong Aston Martin headline, with Grange Racing by FSR taking GT4 victory through Daniel Lavery and Darren Turner in the #27 Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 Evo.
Overall victory went to Barwell Motorsport’s #78 Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo2, driven by Alex Martin and Jarrod Waberski. The Lamborghini led from the opening lap after taking the lead through Eau Rouge, and ultimately finished just over two seconds ahead of the #67 Orange Racing by JMH McLaren. Optimum Motorsport completed the GT3 podium with its #77 McLaren after Ben Barnicoat charged through the field in the second stint.
For Aston Martin, the headline result came in GT4. The #27 Grange Racing by FSR Vantage AMR GT4 Evo had to overcome a difficult route to victory, including 20 seconds of Compensation Time for its previous win and an additional 10-second penalty for a Safety Car restart infringement. The race’s Full Course Yellow and Safety Car timing helped keep the car in contention, before Turner used his experience in the final stint to fight through and take the class lead in the closing stages.
It was a superb result for Lavery, Turner and Grange Racing by FSR, and another reminder of how effective the Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 Evo can be in British GT. The official race classification shows the #27 Aston finishing 13th overall, first in GT4, completing 36 laps.
There was also a points-paying GT4 finish for the #21 MK Racing Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 Evo of Jessica Hawkins and Will Orton. After recovering from earlier difficulties and carrying Compensation Time, the MK Racing Aston finished 17th overall and fifth in GT4.
Two more Aston Martin GT4 entries also reached the finish. The #40 Townsend Racing powered by Fox Motorsport Vantage AMR GT4 Evo finished 20th overall, while the #97 GBR Stratton Motorsport Vantage AMR GT4 Evo finished 21st overall. Both completed 35 laps.
In GT3, Beechdean Motorsport’s #7 Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 Evo of Andrew Howard and Ross Gunn had a more complicated afternoon. Gunn was part of the late GT3 battle, but British GT reported that an earlier pass made under Full Course Yellow conditions led to a 20-second post-race penalty. The official classification shows the Beechdean Aston 11th overall after the penalty was applied.
The FTP reading is that Spa was a mixed but important British GT weekend for Aston Martin. Beechdean’s GT3 result was compromised, but Grange Racing by FSR delivered the major headline with a hard-fought GT4 victory, MK Racing added another strong top-five GT4 finish, and four Aston Martin Vantage entries reached the flag.
For Aston Martin fans, the story is clear: Spa didn’t deliver a GT3 podium, but it did bring a British GT class win for the Vantage.

FTP Summary Line
Grange Racing by FSR delivered Aston Martin’s British GT Spa headline with a superb GT4 victory for the #27 Vantage AMR GT4 Evo, while Beechdean’s GT3 challenge was compromised by a post-race penalty.
Round 02 & 03 - Oulton Park, May 2026
Round 03: Race 2 gave Aston Martin the Bank Holiday headline it needed. At the front, Optimum Motorsport’s #77 McLaren of Morgan Tillbrook and Ben Barnicoat won overall, but Beechdean Motorsport again finished second with the #7 Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 Evo of Andrew Howard and Ross Gunn. That made it two GT3 podiums from two Oulton Park races for Beechdean.
The race started with Gunn holding the lead from pole, with Barnicoat close behind in the Optimum McLaren. Beechdean had additional pit-stop time to serve, and once the pit cycle played out, Optimum emerged in front. Howard kept the Aston Martin in the podium fight, and Beechdean came home second, 3.750 seconds behind the winning McLaren. British GT also noted that Beechdean’s qualifying dominance, two overall podiums and Ross Gunn’s fastest laps earned the team the team of the weekend award.
The biggest Aston Martin story, though, came in GT4. Daniel Lavery and Darren Turner took victory for Grange Racing by FSR in the #27 Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 Evo, giving the team its maiden British GT class win. That result was hard-earned: Toro Verde’s Ginetta had led before a steering failure with less than 20 minutes remaining opened the door, and Lavery then had to withstand heavy pressure from Jessica Hawkins in the closing stages.
The final lap became an Aston Martin duel. Hawkins, in the #21 MK Racing Vantage, was almost close enough to find a way past after Lavery slid wide at Knickerbrook, but the Grange Racing Aston held on. Just 0.430 seconds separated the two Vantages at the flag, giving Aston Martin a GT4 one-two at Oulton Park.
Behind them, Townsend Racing powered by Fox Motorsport finished sixth in GT4 with the #40 Aston Martin, while GBR Stratton Motorsport finished seventh in class with the #97 Vantage. For MK Racing, second place still had championship value: Hawkins and Orton have now finished second in all three races so far this season, keeping them firmly in the GT4 title fight.

FTP Summary Line
Race 2 turned Oulton Park into a very strong Aston Martin weekend. Beechdean doubled up on GT3 podiums and moved into serious championship contention, while Grange Racing by FSR and MK Racing delivered an Aston Martin one-two in GT4. If Silverstone suggested Aston Martin had a British GT story to follow, Oulton Park confirmed it.
Round 02 & 03 - Oulton Park, May 2026
Round 02: Oulton Park Race 1 was the first of the Bank Holiday Monday sprint races, and Aston Martin started with a genuine chance of overall victory. Andrew Howard had put the #7 Beechdean Motorsport Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 Evo on pole, but Rob Collard’s Barwell Lamborghini swept around the outside at Old Hall on the opening lap and built an early advantage.
After the pit stops, Ross Gunn began to close on Hugo Cook in the leading Lamborghini. A Safety Car period brought the Beechdean Aston Martin right back into contention, and with GT4 traffic in play on the final lap, Gunn had one last opportunity to challenge for the win. Cook held on, but the margin was tiny: 0.235 seconds at the flag. For Beechdean, second place was frustratingly close to victory, but it still confirmed the pace shown in qualifying and delivered a strong GT3 points finish.
In GT4, the class win went to Century Motorsport’s BMW of Jack Collins and Branden Templeton, but Aston Martin again had a strong presence at the front. Jessica Hawkins and Will Orton finished second in GT4 for MK Racing, continuing the consistency that had already placed them in the early championship conversation after Silverstone.
Further back, Grange Racing by FSR’s #27 Aston Martin finished seventh in GT4, with GBR Stratton Motorsport’s #97 Vantage ninth and Townsend Racing powered by Fox Motorsport’s #40 Vantage tenth. It was not a clean sweep for the Aston Martin GT4 entries, but MK Racing’s podium and Beechdean’s near-miss made Race 1 a strong start to the Oulton Park weekend.

FTP Summary Line
Race 1 was one of those results that felt both encouraging and slightly painful. Beechdean had the speed to fight for the overall win and missed out by barely two tenths of a second, while MK Racing kept its GT4 podium run alive. For Aston Martin, the message was clear: the Vantage was right in the fight at Oulton Park.
Round 01 - Silverstone 500 2026
The 2026 British GT Championship opened with the Silverstone 500, the series’ blue-riband three-hour race. Overall victory went to Optimum Motorsport’s #3 McLaren 720S GT3 Evo of Yasser Shahin and Garnet Patterson, ahead of Century Motorsport’s #44 BMW M4 GT3 Evo and Paradine Motorsport’s #91 BMW M4 GT3 Evo. In GT4, Innovation Racing’s #74 Ginetta G56 GT4 Evo of Thomas Holland and Hadley Simpson took class victory, ahead of the #21 MK Racing Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 Evo of Will Orton and Jessica Hawkins.
For Aston Martin, the strongest GT3 story came from Beechdean Motorsport. Andrew Howard and Aston Martin works driver Ross Gunn brought the #7 Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 Evo home sixth overall and sixth in GT3, finishing 13.631 seconds behind the winning McLaren after 71 laps. That gave Beechdean a solid points start to the season and left the team fourth in the GT3 teams’ standings on 18 points after Round 1. Howard and Gunn also sit fourth in the GT3 drivers’ standings.
The clearest Aston Martin highlight came in GT4. MK Racing’s #21 Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 Evo, driven by Will Orton and Jessica Hawkins, finished second in class, just 1.290 seconds behind the winning Innovation Racing Ginetta. It was an excellent opening result for MK Racing and immediately placed Orton and Hawkins second in the GT4 drivers’ standings, with MK Racing also second in the GT4 teams’ championship on 27 points.
Elsewhere among the Aston Martin GT4 entries, GBR Stratton Motorsport’s #97 Vantage AMR GT4 Evo of John Hartshorne and Ronan Pearson finished 19th overall and sixth in GT4, scoring useful early points. Townsend Racing powered by Fox Motorsport finished 22nd overall and ninth in GT4 with James Townsend and Joe Wheeler, while the team’s own post-race note described a frustrating but encouraging debut, including a recovery from an early issue and a fifth-place finish in GT4 Pro-Am. Grange Racing with FSR’s #27 Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 Evo, shared by Daniel Lavery and Darren Turner, was not classified after completing 34 laps.
From a Fuel the Passion perspective, Silverstone gave Aston Martin a respectable but mixed start to the British GT season. Beechdean’s GT3 result was a solid points finish rather than a headline podium, while MK Racing’s GT4 second place was the standout Aston Martin result of the weekend. GBR Stratton and Townsend both got points on the board in GT4, but Grange’s early non-classification showed how quickly a long race can turn. The key thread now is whether Beechdean can move closer to the GT3 podium fight and whether MK Racing can sustain what already looks like a serious GT4 challenge.
