British GT 2010 (Rumours etc.)
Well, there seems to be a thread for rumours, speculations and facts for every other race series in the world... so I thought one more wouldn't hurt ;P
Teams that have so far confirmed their intent to enter the 2010 season are: GT3:

Think they're the old ones still.
A few weeks back in Autosport they also mentioned that Vincent Vosse's team was looking into entering two Astons in British GT and/or Belcar. Am sure I also recall Autosport mentioning that Barwell hadn't ruled out returning with a GT3 Aston too. I've also seen that Adam Wilcox will be back in 2010 with VRS Racing. |

Hope British GT has a smoother year in 2010. 2009 was dire.

Two United Autosports Audi R8's for Oulton Park and selected extra events apparently. Article on the official website.
Mentions Zak Brown and Pablo Perez Companc as 2/4 drivers with Oulton being used as a FIA GT3 warm up. Be nice to see a bit of variety on the grid at Oulton. |

For anyone interested in British GT racing, the best news is in the penultimate paragraph - Benjamin Franosivicci has returned as the Championship Manager. You couldn't have anyone better. |

For the less well informed of us Strider (ie me!) could you fill us in a bit on Mr (or is it Signor?) Franosivicci?

DBRS9 for Tom Black and Stuart Hall too, as Vantage Motorsport.
http://www.britishgt.com/news.php?ac...ms%5Bid%5D=526 Beginning to look like we could have the makings of quite a varied, and dare I say it healthy, at least compared to '09, grid at Oulton at this rate. |

British GT is looking very strong for 2010 and the cup class will bring more cars also
Ps Does anybody think that the 2009 spec Cup S could be competitive in British GT next year against the Ferarris and the new GT3R |

Lets hope all the teams that are "talking" about entering BGT this year do actually turn up, no doubt a few won't. But lets hope for some variety. Especially in the Ginetta class, ooops I meant GT4. |

Well if all the cars that are supposed to run in 2010 do then it will be a very strong championship indeed
They are also letting cars with superseeded homoligation run also |
