Its still the old ones... apparently they spent most of last year sorting out the problems though

Would love to see more astons next year aswell

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

Well, there is some good news for you then, it appears that there will be a brand new DBRS9 for Vantage Racing driven Tom Black and Stuart Hall.

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.

Porscheman · 17 Jan 2010, 02:50 (Ref:2614494)

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

Of course they are letting old cars run, they need to build the numbers up, but they are going to be way off the pace of the 2009 and 2010 spec cars. Even with supposed equalisation.

But lets hope for a big grid of GT3 cars, I'm not so keen on GT4, they don't look like they should be on the same grid as GT3, but if it helps get the numbers up then so be it.

GroupOfOne · 4 Dec 2009, 21:36 (Ref:2594192)

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.

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.

That should be good... hope they manage to make it to some more events... especially knockhill

As in link here.

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.

GroupOfOne · 7 Dec 2009, 10:26 (Ref:2595363)

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

Graham Goodwin · 7 Dec 2009, 21:25 (Ref:2595716)

ex - and now current SRO man - left to run an (excellent) restaurant and now back part time to run BGT

Porscheman · 8 Dec 2009, 00:04 (Ref:2595834)

And i believe there will be a couple of the new Porsche GT3R on the grid in 2010

Hmmm - could he do something about the dire eateries at Silverstone while he's at it......?

THE Hill. · 18 Dec 2009, 16:51 (Ref:2601977)

well , it isnt looking to bad - theres all ready more entrants than racers at knockhill last year

THE Hill. · 7 Feb 2010, 12:51 (Ref:2628513)

Some more teams confirming their intents:

Team GCR - Ginetta G50 - Tom Dunstan & John Ingram
Team Osbourne Racing - G50 - Joe Osbourne & Osman Yusuf
Tesco Fuel Racing (aka Thorney Motorsport) - BMW M3 E92 (GT3) - John Thorne & Nick Foster *pending homolgation

THE Hill. · 13 Dec 2009, 11:08 (Ref:2598851)

Hmmmm... its seems to have gone very quiet - i did read in that audi story though that "Several other new and established teams are planning major post-Christmas announcements of their plans for the coming season"...

THE Hill. · 6 Jan 2010, 23:02 (Ref:2609152)

Aaron Scott and Craig Wilkins are going to be back in 2010 with the Viper under the GT3 Motorsports banner.

GroupOfOne · 8 Jan 2010, 16:46 (Ref:2610074)

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.

Porscheman · 9 Jan 2010, 18:53 (Ref:2610630)

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

In theory, with performance balancing, it should be - Of course driver line-up will be key too

Trackspeed are getting 2 new GT3R s and are selling the cups

Would it be possible to run a 2010 cup car and would it be competitive
