Back for Seconds - GT Cup returns to Donington Park for the Penultimate Weekend of the 2025 Season

The penultimate weekend for the 2025 GT Cup Championship has arrived, and Donington Park is the stage. Another four rounds of racing await competitors at the Leicestershire circuit with a return to the two Sprint, two Pit-Stop race format.

Thanks to a double points round last time out, Topcats Racing has taken a strong lead in the Overall Points table. Fraser Fenwick and Charlotte Gilbert currently sit 37 points clear of SVG Motorsport’s Neil Wallace and Ian Astley, with Feathers Motorsport’s Archie Clark and Tom Canning a further 15 points behind. Topcats Racing might be leading the Overall Title, but it’s SVG Motorsport that sits atop the Team Standings.

A handful of invitational entries join the grid for the weekend in Groups GT3, GTC, and GTA. Team Parker Racing adds a Mercedes AMG GT3 to their stable with Adam Knight making his championship debut. In Group GTC, Triple M Motorsport adds a second entry for drivers Harry Yuill and Rob Garofall in a Ginetta GTP8. Chris Valentine returns to Group GTA following his debut at Silverstone with Oselli Motorsport.

Group GT3 sees the return of Paddock Motorsport’s Mark Smith, bolstering the group numbers. Smith dropped to third in the Group Standings after Silverstone, with Darren and James Kell inheriting the lead. The Kells had a fantastic showing last time out, netting three out of three race wins across the weekend. Sitting second in the title fight is PB Racing’s Peter Erceg, who also had a strong showing at the Northamptonshire circuit.

With Topcats Racing leading the Overall standings, it should come as no surprise that Fraser Fenwick and Charlotte Gilbert also lead the Group GTC standings. Fenwick has been on form all season, and the new partnership with Gilbert appears to be working well. The pair have a hefty lead over Triple M’s Grahame Tilley and Will Tregurtha, and fellow Topcats racer Jack Gadd. Tilley is unfortunately unable to join the field this weekend and will be replaced by Mike Taylor. PMT Motorsport’s Tom Walpole rejoins the grid after an injury benched him for Silverstone.

Third in the Overall Title, Feathers Motorsport, are your Group GTH points leaders with Clark and Canning sitting on 326 points. Just 29 points behind are SVG Motorsport’s Marc Elman and Owen Hizzey, with Innovation Racing’s Simon Griffiths in third. Griffiths is joined by a new co-driver this weekend in the form of Mike Chalkiopoulos.

The fight at the top of Group GTH has been fierce all season, with all three of the top points scorers grabbing wins across the season. Jolt Racing returns to the championship with Rupert Williams and John Ingram aboard their McLaren Artura GT4.

Group GTA’s Neil Wallace and Ian Astley sit at the top of the Group Title with 341 points, over 100 points clear of Innovation’s Brent Millage. Meanwhile, in Group GTO, Paul Bailey and David Brabham lead the way with 190 points.

Track action kicks off with free practice on Saturday morning at 10.05, and all four races will be broadcast live on the GT Cup YouTube channel.
