I've got my fingers crossed that at least one of the British teams retain a Z4 for 2016: I have a serious car crush on the Z4 GT3!

Turns out the Minshaw/Keen pairing will race one of Barwell's Huracans, and bring that bizarre bright green and red Demon Tweeks livery with them!

TF Sport will be back with Adam/Johnston in one car and Barnes/Farmer in the other. So Adam not at Beechdean and we know Howard has said he won't be in the Beechdean car - so will it be there at all?

I'd started knocking up a list too - I had to double check because it pretty much matched yours line for line! You can add another Bentley to that list though - Parker are running 2 cars
I think Tollman are planning to run their Ginetta GT4 as well - but I haven't seen that confirmed anywhere. |

Also add PFL Motorsport, running an Aston Martin Vantage GT3, with team owner Pete Littler (who has an amputated lower right leg) as one of the drivers. The more GT3 cars the better, and I'm sure the media will enjoy Lifflers' story.

There's the option of a second GT3 car for Tolman, too.

I wonder if he has a similar system to Zanardis BMWs or does having one good leg negate the need for this? No offence meant to anyone, I'm just trying to figure out how he drives the car. Good on him |

He talks about it in this week's Autosport- there's no modification to the car, he's had a spare prosthetic leg shortened by about 10mm to make it easier to withdraw from the throttle, and he left-foot brakes, which he's used to doing anyway, as he's an ex-rally driver.

Another impressive driver announcement
http://www.britishgt.com/newsitem.php?key=2455 Wonder if Motorbase are still looking to run in this series in '16, given this announced driver lineup? |

That is impressive. First Babini and then somehow convincing BMW to let Sims drive the Huracan. |

Interesting - a change of plan from Andrew Howard as he wasn't originally planning to drive the GT3 Vantage in British GT in 2016.

It will be very interesting to see how Gunn copes with having to fill Adam's shoes with the reigning champion squad. He knows the team, which is a bonus, but already there is plenty to be excited about for 2016!

Making a trip back home from the States next year that just so happens to match up with the Silverstone 500 and with it looking like a good field this year will probably make a roadtrip down for that. Not too many Astons, Bentleys, Ginettas etc etc racing over here so would be nice to see them.
My question is, with Von Ryan shutting down, is there any chance at all of any McLarens running in 2016? Yet to see the 650 in action so hoping someone else might be thinking about it. |

Attempto stopped running their McLaren after half a season and got a Huracán instead. To say they were disappointed by a lot of things is an understatement.
