Salkeld, a British GT veteran, is no stranger to success with Century Motorsport. After clinching the Pro-Am championship in 2023, he’s back for his fifth season with the squad, eager to build on his legacy. “Harriott’s Chariot is back… Yeaaah!” Salkeld exclaimed. “I’m over the moon to return to British GT for 2025 after a strange 2024. Coming home to Century Motorsport and pairing up with Branden is incredibly exciting. The series has grown so much since my debut in 2021, and I can’t wait to be back on the grid, live on Sky Sports F1.”

At just 18, Templeton steps into GT racing as the youngest driver ever to helm Harriott’s Chariot. Fresh off an impressive debut season in GB4 single-seaters, he’s spent the off-season absorbing Salkeld’s expertise to prepare for his British GT bow. “Branden is a special talent,” Salkeld added. “His maturity and work ethic are second to none, and we’re thrilled to have him aboard.”

Templeton, buzzing with anticipation, said, “I’m absolutely thrilled to make my British GT debut with Century Motorsport alongside Chris Salkeld. His experience is unmatched, and to have him as my mentor is an incredible opportunity. The championship is one of the most competitive series out there, and I’m determined to prove myself. A massive thank you to Go Motorsport Management, Camelot Construction Limited, Klima Therm, and everyone who’s helped me get here—I can’t wait to hit the track!”

Team Principal and Salkeld’s former teammate praised the pairing: “Welcoming Chris back for his fifth season is really special. He’s a British GT champion, and now he’s back in Silver Cup with Branden, an exciting young talent who impressed in his first GT test. With a strong testing program ahead, this duo will be a force to be reckoned with.”

The 2025 season kicks off at Donington Park on April 5-6, with Century Motorsport banking on Salkeld’s pedigree and Templeton’s potential to deliver a standout campaign. Fans can catch all the action live on Sky Sports F1.
