As the UK’s biggest GT series edges ever closer to its 2026 season launch on March 31st for media day at Silverstone, here is a look at all the entries confirmed so far.
GBR Stratton Motorsport
The team were the first 2026 registration confirmed back in early December, unveiling a pair of Aston Martin Vantage GT4s for their maiden British GT campaign.
Short for Graham Burton Racing, the outfit has enjoyed strong success in single-seater racing, particularly in GB4. The switch to GT4 marks a new chapter, and while drivers are still to be confirmed, the early commitment suggests serious intent for their debut season.
Rodin Motorsport
Possibly one of the most eye-catching announcements of the winter came from Rodin Motorsport.
Well known for their single-seater success from GB4 through to FIA Formula 2, Rodin confirmed they will enter British GT with a Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo. It represents their first major step into GT racing, and although drivers are yet to be announced, the combination of a proven GT3 package and a highly experienced team makes this a fascinating prospect.
Full Send Racing (FSR)
It was one exciting announcement after another in December, as FSR confirmed their debut in British GT with two Aston Martin Vantage GT4s.
Leading the programme will be Aston Martin factory driver Darren Turner, who brings a wealth of experience to the squad. He will be joined by Dan Lavery in one car, with the second driver pairing still to be revealed. For a new team, it is a strong statement of intent in the GT4 class.
Orange Racing
Orange Racing are back for another full season in the GT3 category with Marcus Clutton once again partnering Simon Orange in their McLaren 720S GT3.
The duo showed strong pace last season and secured solid results against tough competition. With continuity on their side heading into 2026, they will be aiming to turn consistency into a sustained title challenge.
Beechdean Motorsport
Beechdean AMR will return with their Aston Martin GT3 entry, continuing one of the championship’s longest-standing partnerships.
Team boss Andrew Howard is set to share the car once again with experienced Aston Martin racer Jamie Gunn. With proven chemistry and plenty of British GT pedigree, they remain a reliable threat in the GT3 field.
Optimum Motorsport
Optimum Motorsport have confirmed that reigning GT4 champions Marc Warren and Jack Brown will step up to GT3 in 2026 with a McLaren 720S GT3 Evo.
After securing the GT4 crown, the move marks a natural progression for the pairing. Optimum’s experience with McLaren machinery should put them in good stead as they adapt to the demands of the top class.
Townsend Racing
Townsend Racing, powered by Fox Motorsport, will enter an Aston Martin Vantage GT4 in the Pro-Am class for 2026.
James Townsend continues his development in GT racing with the support of the established Fox Motorsport squad, as they look to make an impression in an increasingly competitive GT4 field.
Century Motorsport
Century Motorsport return with a BMW M4 GT4 Evo, confirming Branden Templeton and Jack Collins as their driver pairing.
Templeton builds on his previous GT4 campaign, while Collins steps up from Ginetta competition. With Century’s strong record in the class, they will be aiming to fight towards the front once again.
Barwell Motorsport
Barwell Motorsport remain one of the benchmark teams in GT3 and are set to continue with Lamborghini machinery for 2026. Their two pairings include Rob Collard & Hugo Cook and Henry Cameron & Matt Griffin.
With multiple titles to their name and a reputation for extracting maximum performance from their cars, Barwell will once again be viewed as championship contenders heading into the new season.
Mahiki Racing
Mahiki Racing will step up to a full-season GT3 campaign in 2026 with a McLaren 720S GT3 Evo.
Steven Lake and Josh Rowledge have been confirmed as the driver pairing, marking a significant move up for the team as they take on the depth of competition in the top class.
Paddock Motorsport
Paddock Motorsport will return for 2026 with Mark Smith and Martin Plowman, continuing their presence in the championship after building experience over recent seasons.
The team has shown promising pace and will be looking to convert that into stronger results as they aim to establish themselves more firmly within the grid.
WSR
WSR will team up with four-time BTCC champion Colin Turkington for a British GT campaign. He will share a BMW M4 GT4 with historic rally champion Ernie Graham.
After so much success elsewhere in UK motorsport, all eyes will be on the squad to see if they can replicate that record in the country’s leading GT series.
MKH Racing
Today’s announcement came from MKH Racing, as they confirmed their 2026 entry with Jessica Hawkins and Will Orton to take the wheel of an Aston Martin Vantage GT4.
With such a strong line-up and package, the team are already looking like strong challengers for the GT4 title this year.
