They won the GT4 Pro Am championship in 2019, so not too shabby.

Be interesting to see how they show in GT3, Plowman has been out of GT3s for a little bit.

Nice to see, those two have really worked hard to get where they are

WPI Motorsport Lamborghini returns in GT3.

Michael Igoe will share the car with Lambo factory drivers Franck Perera and Dennis Lind, who steps in for a couple of rounds when Perera is unavailable.

Heres how the grid is shaping up with 19 of 35 full season entries confirmed.

Interestingly for GT3, we are at 9 cars, before any Aston Martin has been declared, of which last year there were 4. Given that Optimum have moved over to Mclaren in GTWC they are most likely not returning to BGT, but we should still see 1-2 TF Sport cars, and perhaps the Beechdean AMR car.

The other factors on GT3 grid size will be if Century return with 2 BMW's, and whether Barwell bring a second car.

So we are looking again at somewhere in the 13-15 GT3 window

I wouldn't be too sure of that, seeing how they had an international program in GT-Open last year as well. If the SRO-thing comes at the expense of that, I could very well see them continue in BGT.

Speed-King, I believe that is known as 'Calling it'

GT3 is starting to look really good. Strange though that we don't have a single gt3 Aston Martin confirmed yet

Totally, considering the dominance they have shown in terms of numbers in recent years.

I know TF have said they will return but nothing confirmed as of yet, and nothing from Beechdean either

Curious if Barwell bring a second car too

This may well all be within the scope of the well managed British GT entry announcement trickle.

Bcarr6 · 31 Jan 2020, 13:18 (Ref:3954761)

Beechdean AMR - Aston Martin Vantage GT3 - Alex Toth-Jones / Valentin Hasse-Clot

Whats crazy, is this is the first Aston GT3 announced

Bcarr6 · 12 Feb 2020, 09:03 (Ref:3957141)

G Cat Racing - Porsche 911 GT3 R - Shamus Jennings / Greg Caton

22 of 35 entries announced, 12 GT3, 10 GT4.

Good to see the Porsche in for the full season - it's been a bit odd these last few years with such a limited Porsche presence in British GT.

**bella** · 12 Feb 2020, 23:53 (Ref:3957330)

didn't g-cat have a different car last year? or am i thinking of someone else... either way, it was a stunning looking thing, particularly from the rear. great to see them sign up for a full season.
