Full Send Racing has confirmed its first full-season programme in the British GT Championship, with the Rockingham-based outfit set to field two Aston Martin Vantage GT4s in 2026 under the Grange Racing by FSR banner.

Heading the line-up is Aston Martin stalwart Darren Turner, who makes a return to British GT’s GT4 ranks for the first time since his near-miss in the 2022 title fight. The multiple Le Mans class winner will embark on his 22nd season as part of Aston Martin Racing’s factory ecosystem, having competed across LMP1, GTE, GT3 and GT4 machinery during an illustrious career.

Turner will partner Full Send Racing director Daniel Lavery in the team’s first confirmed entry. Lavery arrives with experience from national BMW one-make championships and selected GT4 outings with the Ginetta G55, stepping up to one of the most competitive grids in UK motorsport.

“It’s hugely rewarding to join a project right at its inception,” Turner explained. “The way Full Send Racing has come together already is impressive, and there’s a clear sense that the foundations are being laid properly. I’ve enjoyed success in British GT4 before, and this time the ambition is very much to challenge for the overall championship.”

He added: “British GT is never easy, particularly for a new team and driver pairing, but the early testing has been positive and there’s real belief that we can be competitive from the outset.”

For Lavery, the chance to race alongside one of Aston Martin’s most experienced drivers is a landmark moment in a rapidly developing career.

“What started out as a bit of fun between friends has turned into something very serious, very quickly,” he said. “I grew up watching British GT and Darren was one of the drivers I followed, so to now be sharing a car with him is pretty special. With the depth of experience we have around us, I think we can make a few people take notice.”

The team is led by owner and principal Elliott Cole, who brings his own British GT experience from Mosler GT3 campaigns in the mid-2000s. Cole has also overseen Lavery’s development from his earliest steps in motorsport.

“To lock in our first British GT entry for 2026 is a massive milestone for us,” Cole commented. “Having Darren onboard gives the team an incredible reference point, both on and off the track. At the same time, seeing Dan’s progression to this level has been hugely rewarding. To now return to British GT as a team owner is something I’m immensely proud of.”

Full Send Racing will announce its second driver pairing in due course. The team’s programme is supported by Grange Motors and Cinch.

British GT’s official Media Day takes place at Silverstone on March 31, ahead of the three-hour season opener at the same venue on April 25–26.
