A scorching weekend is set to see a potentially decisive pair of 60-minute races as the British GT Championship heads to Snetterton for the final sprint weekend of the season.

After a faultless start to the season, it seemed like the biggest question was how many points 2 Seas Motorsport’s Charles Dawson and Kiern Jewiss would win the title by. Racking up 75 after two races, a poor run of form has seen them pick up just 14 in the last three, and has opened the door to what used to be distant rivals.

And leading the charge is a squad whose fortunes are going in the other direction. After a DNF at the Donington opener, Blackthorn AMR’s Giacomo Petrobelli and Jonny Adam – the latter the master of British GT – have been getting ever better, and a peerless victory in Belgium back in June has seen the Aston Martin duo rack up 87 points, just two shy of Dawson and Jewiss at the top of the GT3 tree.

Despite a wobbly weekend at Oulton Park, Morgan Tillbrook and Marvin Kirchhöfer have kept themselves well in the title fight, just one point down on the Blackthorn duo despite having not yet claimed a win in their Optimum Motorsport McLaren 720S GT3 Evo.

Also immediately in title contention – with two races this weekend, and then just two more two-hour races remaining – is Hugo Cook. The Lamborghini racer picked up a win alongside Rob Collard at Oulton Park and with 75.5 points, he’s not out of contention should he have a good weekend.

Indeed, you could say the same for Barwell teammate Alex Martin, who is on 67 points – the same as 2 Seas Motorsport’s Kevin Tse and Maxi Götz who’ve lost grip slightly after a non-point scoring trip to Belgium. 

Elsewhere, there’s a few changes to the entry – Nick Jones and Sven Muller make a return in the Team Parker Racing Porsche after the latter had to skip Spa because of clashing Nürburgring 24 Hours commitments. 

Also returning is the Greystone GT McLaren of Andrey Borodin and Oli Webb, after missing the last couple of rounds. 

Making a swap is the second Optimum McLaren. Mike Price has stepped away from the season, but the entry will continue – Callum Macleod is joined this time by Carl Cavers, who has done a bit of GT3 racing last season alongside Lewis Plato in a Century Motorsport BMW M4. 

GT4

After victory last time out, Charlie Robertson and Ravi Ramyead have pulled the GT4 title fight back into some sort of mathematical possibility. However, if the Century BMW duo have another weekend like the last sprint double-header at Oulton Park and score no points and championship leaders Marc Warren & Jack Brown grab a brace of wins – not an impossible feat – then the title would be settled in Norfolk.

The Optimum Motorsport duo took third in Spa, a relatively poor result for the McLaren Artura racers considering the season, whilst Robertson and Ramyead took a well-deserved win to close the gap in the championship to 27.5 points. 

And with those two duos the only ones taking wins so far this season, it’s no wonder that they’re the only two above 100 points – indeed, the next nearest competitors are Luca Hopkinson and Harry George, but with 66 points they’re a full 36 off second – never mind the gap to the leaders.

It’ll need a miracle, then, for either of the top two to be significantly toppled this weekend. 

Elsewhere in the class, we’ve got one additional entry for the weekend as Rupert Williams and John Ingram return in their Jolt Racing-run McLaren Artura – the first time the pair have made a British GT appearance since Silverstone back in April.
