Counting down to the British GT Media Day
Friday, March 24, 2017
The 2017 British GT Championship hits the tracks for the first time next week in its collective form with its annual Media Day presentation, again at Snetterton, Norfolk next Tuesday (28th March).
With a couple of other European series also winding up to the start of their respective season over this week and next forcing their attendance else where, a slightly reduced entry list for Tuesday’s event has therefore been published.
TF Sport return with their quartet of drivers they supported last year with 2016 GT3 Champions Jonny Adam and Derek Johnston in the #1 car and Mark Farmer and Jon Barnes back in the #11. Both cars will be again competing in the Pro/Am championship and although present at the test, both cars will not be running on track.
That car will be supported by the return of the team’s #42 V8 Vantage GT4 for Will Phillips, as he swaps from the Ginetta platform and young Dane Jan Jonck as he steps up from single seaters.
Of course, Tuesday’s event is not just for the benefit of the accredited series media as the does also include three, one hour test sessions on track for both the GT and British F3 entry.
Track action starts at 09.00 through till lunch and again from 14.00 till 17.30 and entry is FREE
The first round of the British GT Championship is over the Easter weekend of the 15th and 17th April at Oulton Park.
