GT Trophy Season Preview
Wed 07 Apr 2010
Bute Motorsport, organisers of the GT Cup Championship are delighted to announce the launch of a brand new race series for 2010 the "GT Trophy Endurance Series".
Regulations are now available from Championship Co-ordinator Belinda Edwards who commented; "We are looking forward to expanding the principals of our highly popular GT Cup to the endurance GT enthusiast with this new exciting series. The response has been wonderful with over half the grid already signed up for the two race series and with many more expressing interest, it is getting very exciting."
It is Bute Motorsports belief that this is a natural development of its existing GT Cup Championship, which has 46 registered entrants to date and with more drivers expressing interest every day. Bute Motorsport hope that the GT Trophy will develop over the next two seasons and become a fully fledged Championship in 2012, as occurred with the GT Cup which is in its inaugural year as a Championship since its inception in 2008.
Following restructuring of classes over the winter some competitors from last year are no longer eligible for the GT Cup Championship. The introduction of the GT Trophy will provide the perfect environment for these and our existing groups to run longer distances in the hospitable paddock surroundings of Bute Motorsport. Whilst in the paddock the camaraderie is paramount and the action on the circuit is fast and exciting, especially with such large grids and wide variety of race cars all competing for marque and driver honours.
