2016 British GT Calendar

The British GT Championship is the United Kingdom's premier multi-class sports car series, celebrated for its diverse and exotic grids of GT3 and GT4 machinery from manufacturers such as Aston Martin, McLaren, and Lamborghini. Managed by the SRO Motorsports Group, the championship features a mix of one-hour "sprint" double-headers and longer endurance races, headlined by the prestigious three-hour Silverstone 500. The series is built on a foundation of Pro-Am competition, pairing professional factory drivers with ambitious "gentleman" amateurs, and utilizes a sophisticated Balance of Performance (BoP) system alongside "success penalties" (additional pitstop time for previous podium finishers) to ensure exceptionally close racing. Spanning iconic British circuits like Brands Hatch and Donington Park (plus an annual overseas visit to Spa-Francorchamps) British GT serves as both a top-tier destination for GT specialists and a critical proving ground for emerging talent looking to climb the international sports car ladder.
