British GT Championship

An entry list of 27 cars has been revealed for the 2008 Avon Tyres British GT Championship featuring 19 cars in GT3 and eight in the new GT4 class. More cars are expected to join the field on a race-by-race basis.

The 2008 Avon Tyres British GT Championship is split into three classes:

GT3
Racecars are close to their road car equivalents. They have their interiors stripped out to save weight and safety enhancements are fitted. Limited, and strictly policed, modifications can be made to the suspension, engine and bodywork.

GT4
Like GT3, the racecars are close to their road car equivalents. They have their interiors stripped out to save weight and safety enhancements are fitted. Limited, and strictly policed, modifications can be made to the suspension, engine and bodywork. The class requires less investment to both buy and run the vehicles.

Invitation
Permits GT cars, selected by the organisers, which for reason of homologation production numbers, or other specified reasons, do not comply with the regulations for GT4 or GT3.

After each race a trophy will be presented to 1st, 2nd and 3rd in GT3 and GTC. A trophy may be presented to the winner of the Invitation class subject to a minimum number of 3 starters in the class.

The title/trophy of British GT Champion will be awarded to the driver, or pair of drivers, who have the most points from the GT3 category. A trophy will also be presented to the driver or drivers finishing 2nd and 3rd in the class.
