British GT Championship | Donington Park September 2024 | Race Highlights | Array of GT3 & GT4 Cars!

Highlights from the round 8 of the 2024 Britsh GT Championship.
The British GT Championship has remained one of the UK’s premier national categories for more than 30 years. Currently overseen by the world's biggest GT racing promoter, SRO Motorsports Group, the series’ multi-class format brings together production-based, race-tuned supercars built to both GT3 and GT4 regulations - two cornerstones of customer racing the world over.
First organised by the British Racing Drivers Club in 1993, the BRDC National Sports GT Challenge (as it was then known) featured grids of wildly different machinery loosely grouped into vibrant classes comprising sportscars and saloons.
The term ‘British GT’ was first used in 1995 just as a new age of GT1 and GT2 cars was beginning to materialise. Indeed, the latter part of the 1990s would see some of the category’s most incredible and iconic cars, such as the McLaren F1 GTR, Porsche 911 GT1, Lister Storm GTL and Jaguar XJ220C contest British GT in the hands of top-line international racers and home-grown amateur talent.
But a GT racing revolution was about to take place, and Britain would be at the forefront. With GT1 becoming an increasingly distant memory and GT2 proving too costly the championship sought a fresh direction. New, balanced GT3 regulations had proven popular in Europe under SRO’s guidance and when the organisation was appointed British GT promoter in 2004 the same cars made their way across the Channel. GT4 followed soon after.
British GT remains the oldest championship in SRO’s current portfolio, which includes regional championships on four continents, professional sim racing series, the FIA Motorsport Games and world’s biggest GT3 race: the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa.
