Full Send Racing - the latest AMR powered team to commit a two car effort into British GT
Wednesday, December 17, 2025
Joining them will be Aston Martin’s longest serving works driver, Darren Turner, as he returns to the series and class for the first time since narrowly missing out on 2022’s overall drivers’ title.
“It’s always great to be involved in a project from the very beginning. Seeing how FSR has taken shape and is already operating at such a high level is hugely encouraging, with all the right pieces being put in place,” Turner said. “The last time I raced in British GT was in GT4, where I was able to secure back-to-back Pro-Am titles in 2021 and ‘22. This time, the aim is to fight for the overall GT4 championship, and I genuinely believe that’s achievable with FSR.
Turner will be joined in the first of two Grange Racing by FSR bannered entries by team director Daniel Lavery whose fledgling motorsport career encompasses two full seasons of national one-make BMW series and several Masters outings with a Ginetta G55 GT4.
“FSR started as a bit of a giggle between friends but has quickly become a serious set up,” said Lavery. “I grew up watching British GT and seeing Darren competing, so having him with us is a real honour. “To be competing at this level and seeing how we stack up against the other teams on the grid, both personally and collectively, is super exciting.
“With Elliott’s [Cole] leadership running the team and the over 50 years of experience between himself and Darren, I’m confident we can surprise a few people next season. Now the focus is on improving and being ready come the opener at Silverstone.”
Lavery is coached by team principal and owner Elliott Cole whose own competition career included several British GT outings at the wheel of an Eclipse-run Mosler in 2006 and ’07.
“It’s fantastic to have our first entry confirmed for British GT in 2026,” he said. “As a team we’ve been working incredibly hard to get this finalised and we couldn’t be more excited to line up on the grid.
“I’m also immensely proud of our Pro-Am driver line up. To have a pro like Darren with his decades of experience and the immense success he’s had in his career is fantastic and we’re unbelievably excited at the level of expertise he’s able to bring to the team.
“I’ve also been coaching Dan since before he had a race license and to see the journey he’s been on and to now be getting him on the grid in such a prestigious championship like British GT is brilliant. I’m also a former British GT competitor myself and to be back now as a team owner and principal is a huge honour. I can’t wait to get started at the Media Day in March.”
The Rockingham-based team, which will announce its second driver pairing shortly and joins the GBR Stratton AMR powered team within the class for next season.
