Apart from the differences in business model between BTCC and BGT that kipper talked about a few of posts back, quite a few of British GT's overseas adventures have been aided by commonality of regulations between GT series, which meant the BGT could link up with other series and run shared grids (although there have been standalone races at Spa as well)- the Magny-Cours 'BGT' round in 2005 was actually one class of BGT running as part of the FIA GT round, and the trips to Pau and Magny-Cours did the same thing running with the broadly equivalent classes in French GT- Some of the Spa BGT rounds have also seen joint grids with the Belgian GT series etc. That's not going to be so easy with BTCC running to a unique rulebook
