GT4 Supercup to return to Thruxton and Knockhill circuits during 2019 season

-

The Ginetta GT4 Supercup will return to Thruxton and Knockhill next year after not visiting those venues in recent seasons.

The series will continue to feature on the support bill at eight of the British Touring Car Championsh­ip’s meetings in 2019, with the GT5 Challenge again taking its place at the other two.

This year the Supercup skipped the Thruxton and Knockhill rounds while next year the first of the two Thruxton meetings and Snetterton don’t feature on the calendar. But as the series will make the second trip to Thruxton in August it will be the first time the Hampshire venue has been included since 2015. Knockhill last featured in ’16.

“It’s a few different tracks [for the drivers] – they haven’t been to Thruxton or Knockhill for a few years,” explained Ginetta motorsport manager Ash Gallagher. “There are three clashes between TOCA and British GT so it’s been difficult to sort [as GT5 runs with British GT].”
