GEDDIE GETS READY FOR BRITISH GT

Former champion rejoins team parker racing

Former British GT champion Glynn Geddie will return to the championship with Team Parker Racing in the new second-generation Bentley Continental GT3 alongside Ryan Ratcliffe this year. Geddie, who most recently competed in two rounds of the British Touring Car Championship last season with AMD, rejoins Parker having raced for the squad in the past, primarily in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB.

He was crowned Pro-am 2 champion in 2008, Pro-am 1 champion a year later and finished fourth overall in 2010.

“It’s good to be back with Team Parker Racing as it’s where we started together in the Carrera Cup,” said the 2011 British GT champion.

“I’ve not raced a GT3 car full-time since 2012 so to come back with Stuart [Parker, team boss] is good because I know the team well and it will help me re-acclimatise. The Bentley has been a good car over the past few years and hopefully the new car will deliver for us.

“It’s a bit of a risk coming back after so long out but I’m looking forward to the challenge. I’ll be testing the new Continental GT3 for the first time on the Media Day [at Donington Park on 5 March].

“It is not ideal but we’ve got a number of test days lined up before the start of the season so we should be in good shape by the time we get to Oulton Park.”

Ratcliffe will remain with the Parker squad this term, having raced for the team last season alongside 2017 British GT3 champion Rick Parffit Jr.
