GT Cup arrived at Snetterton for Round 2 of the 2026 season. After Donington saw the return of GT Cup 100, Snetterton saw the series return to the regular format of a sprint and endurance race each day.

Saturday

The sun was shining as the cars took to the track for the weekend’s first qualifying session. Peter Erceg in the PB Racing Audi R8 GT3 EvoII maintained his recent form and claimed pole for Race 1 ahead of main rival Paul Fullick in the Team BRIT BMW M4 GT3.

Erceg led the field to the green for Race 1 and never looked back as he clinched a lights-to-flag victory. Behind him, however, things weren’t quite so simple. Fullick didn’t get the launch he had hoped for and was leapfrogged by the GTC Lamborghinis of Charlie Digby and Jack Gadd before further rivals Sean Ran and Luke Bennett scythed their way through into the Wilson hairpin.

Digby in the Triple M Huracan Super Trofeo Evo held off Gadd in the sole Topcats Super Trofeo Evo II before the latter dropped out of the race with mechanical issues. This left Bennett, who was piloting the Innovation Racing Ginetta G56, to chase after Digby but ultimately couldn’t match the pace and settled for second in GTC.

Fullick, meanwhile, settled into his rhythm and brought the car home in fifth overall but second in GT3 just behind the GTO winner of Ran in his AF Corse Ferrari 296 Challenge.

GTH went the way of Charlie Benson in the 24-7 Ginetta G56 GT4 before failing post-race scrutineering. It was a fellow Ginetta in the way of Harry Yuill in the Triple M G56 GT4 who inherited the win after a lonely race.

GTA saw former British GT racer, Ian Astley, start from the pitlane in the SVG BMW M4 GT4 and charge his way through the order to win by just over a second from Innovation Racing’s Kyle Wells in a Ginetta G55.

Saturday’s pitstop race looked set to be another victory for the on-form Erceg. He led away from the start and maintained his advantage over Digby, who kept him honest throughout the opening phase of the race.

Erceg led until the mandatory pit stops when things started to come undone. Digby handed over to Ginetta racer, Felix Livesey, who went on a charge himself and ultimately relieved Erceg of the lead he had held from the start. It then emerged that Erceg had a failing engine as the increasingly sick-sounding Audi limped around in the hopes of making the finish.

Livesey built up a 25 second advantage over the Audi to claim his first overall GT Cup victory in his series debut. Erceg managed to limp the Audi home in second, still securing the GT3 win in the process, but that would be the end of his weekend as the engine issue was terminal.

Third overall and second in GTC went the way of JMH Automotives, Frank Morris and a charging James Pickford. Pickford (a former BTCC racer) set the fastest lap of the race as he dispatched his rivals in a determined drive. Rounding out GTC was Gadd, who bounced back from his earlier troubles.

Finishing just a handful of seconds behind the Morris/Pickford duo and winning GTO was the lone Ferrari of Ran, who was joined by Josh Steed in an impressive debut appearance for the Ferrari, having missed Donington. Paul Bailey and David Brabham, meanwhile, were debuting the Evo version of their Mercedes AMG GT3, having run the older spec car at Donington. Things were looking good as they came home second in group.

GTH saw a double victory for Yuill and Rob Garofall. A measured drive in the opening stint gave way to an absolute charge after their stop to secure victory by 28 seconds from Sam Branston and James Wareing in their Innovation Ginetta G56 GT4. However, they didn’t have it easy as the SVG Ginetta of Cameron Pratt-Thompson, and Alex Toth Jones was all over them come the close of the race, with just 0.5 seconds separating the two cars.

GTA once again went the way of the all-conquering BMW of Astley and Neil Wallace.

Sunday

With PB Racing out of the running, Jamie Falvey secured pole position for Team BRIT with the Triple M Lamborghini lining up alongside them in second.

This form followed them into Sunday’s first race, the pitstop race. Falvey took the start and stormed off into the distance, securing a 10 second margin by the time the pitstop window opened.

Livesey continued his impressive form and was able to prevent the GT3 BMW from escaping any further before he handed over to Digby for the final stint.

Ultimately, it was Fullick who had the upper hand and brought his BMW home to secure a second outright victory for Team BRIT in 2026.

Digby emerged in second, ready to hunt the BMW down, but his Huracan had other ideas. A fuel pump issue slowed the Lamborghini and allowed a charging Jack Gadd to take the GTC lead. A lead he maintained until the chequered flag, securing his first group victory in GT Cup. Morris and Pickford were just 6 seconds back at the line in second, whilst Digby nursed his ailing car through in third to round out the GTC podium.

Meanwhile, ahead of the trio of Lamborghinis, Ran and Steed were flying along in their GTO Ferrari but ran out of time to hunt down the leading BMW and therefore settled for second overall but claimed GTO honours in the process. The Bailey and Brabham Mercedes set the fastest lap of the race en route to second in GTO and sixth overall.

GTH saw another Ginetta 1-2-3-4 with 24-7 heading the group battle in the opening stint. With the pit stops out of the way, Ben Taylor re-emerged with his lead still intact, but Sam Branston opted for a double stint in his Ginetta and, already having knowledge of the car and track conditions, was able to catch and pass Taylor to secure GTH victory. Taylor came home second whilst the Pratt-Thompson / Toth-Jones Ginetta rounded out the top three.

GTA this time saw a different pairing at the top of the standings. Innovation Racing’s Bryn Calder and Kyle Wells secured victory from the Raceworks Ginetta of Andrew Perry and Daniel Quintero. Wallace and Astley rounded out the podium after having led in the opening stint.

The final race of the weekend saw the first appearance of the safety car. On entry into Riches, Gadd slowed with a terminal mechanical issue, and this caused cars to scatter behind him with the SVG Ginetta spinning just to add to the carnage.

Once underway, Falvey controlled the pace and brought his car home for Team BRIT’s second outright victory of the day.

Felix Livesey bounced back from earlier disappointment to secure his car’s third GTC victory of the weekend, whilst Bertie Bream secured second to round off a difficult weekend on a high for the Innovation Ginetta, whilst Morris finished third in a solid solo performance.

The all-dominant AF Corse Ferrari withdrew from the final race, leaving the way clear for Paul Bailey to secure his first victory of the weekend and the first for his updated Mercedes.

GTH saw another triple victor in Triple M’s Yuill and Garofall, who claimed GTH by just 0.4 seconds from the 24-7 Ginetta, with Innovation just a further 3 seconds back in yet another all-Ginetta top three. Bryn Calder rounded out the double for Innovation in GTA with Wallace second and Daniel Perry reaching the podium for the second time in the JTM Engineering Ginetta G55.

At the end of Snetterton, Wallace and Astley lead the points standings on 159, with Digby and Livesey just 4 points further back in what is shaping up to be a hotly contested title fight.

GT Cup returns on the 27/28th of June for the second trip to Donington Park.
