GT Cup concludes at Snetterton this weekend with still an overall win opportunity for Forsetti??
Within the provisional entry list issued so far, we can see that the former locally based Forsetti Motorsport team (now moved to an undefined new location since only taking over their Snetterton unit earlier this year) have entered two of their 17A Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT4’s.
One will be for their already declared GTH Class champions in Mikey Porter as he again pairs up with Sam Nesser within the #9 car having debuted together last time out at Donington Park, before which Porter was paired alongside Matthew Higgins.
Whilst their GTH class is already in the bag, there is still a remote chance that the crew could secure the Overall Drivers Championship as well if results go in the favour across the weekends pairs of sprint and pit stop races over Saturday and Sunday as they remain just fifty points behind the Topcats Racing Lamborghini GTC classed car.
The provisional entry list also details an as yet unidentified driver line up within their #10 car for this final round as well as you see today on social media of a possible return of a previous GT Cup stalwart team with something rather new – but that is rather their news to release than ours.
So we will have to wait and see!

More new faces than expected with GT Cups visit to Silverstone
The obvious news for this weekend is the inclusion of the Beechdean AMR Vantage GT3 team as team boss Andrew Howard looks for some quick, competitive track time to get him back on the GT3 straight and narrow before the next round of the British GT Championship from Donington Park in six weeks’ time.
Having missed the last two sprint races of the Championship around the Snetterton 300 circuit in Norfolk through ‘prior commitment’, the #97 crew of Howard and Jessica Hawkins also had a very brief racing experience of the Spa Francorchamps round having been taken out of the proceedings at the first corner.
For this weekend, Howard will again be under the dutiful tutelage of Darren Turner for the two sprint - two pit stop punctuated races.
The other news comes from within the Forsetti Motorsport camp and the #9 AMR Vantage GT4 car of Mikey Porter and Matthew Higgins reunite again having missed the previous round after their decision to compete within the GT4 European Series at Spa instead, the weekend after their British GT round.
The teams #10 car, however, is again not populated by either Jody Sloss or Rianna O’Meara-Hunt - we know that Sloss would be tied up again with her F1 duties over in Belgium, but we’re not sure about O’Meara-Hunt.
Their places will be taken by one of their #47 British GT racers in Will Orton (this time) who will share the car with team debutant and Fiesta racer Sam Nesser.
The race format to the weekend will see a return to their usual two sprint – two pit stop punctuated rounds per day preceded by Qualifying each day. Having missed the last round, the #9 crew have now lost their overall points lead but do still retain the GTH Class lead from their #10 car stablemates.
