Ginetta factory support for Tregurtha/middleton
British GT4 champions Will Tregurtha and Stuart Middleton will move into the GT4 European Series next year after both picked up factory support from Ginetta.
They will reunite with Charlie Kemp’s HHC Motorsport team to campaign a G55 GT4 in the pan-european contest.
Off the back of their stellar maiden British GT campaign, scoring three wins on their way to becoming the youngest driver pairing ever to lift the GT4 title, both drivers have been signed to Ginetta’s Young Driver Programme.
The British firm will provide sponsorship and spares support to the 2018 programme, as well as both becoming involved in driver and vehicle development for the Leeds marque.
Ginetta’s motorsport manager Ashley Gallagher said: “I’m delighted to welcome both Will and Stuart to our Young Driver Programme. Both have come up through the Ginetta motorsport ladder, having started in the Junior Scholarship. They’re an excellent example of how great a training platformthe Junior championship is for a future in GT racing.”
Kemp added: “It’s brilliant to have both guys back for 2018 and to be helping them make the next step in their careers. European GT4 may not be the most conventional option, but the category is enjoying a real boom at the moment and the European series sits at the top of the GT4 market as the toughest place to go and compete.
“The series will put them on the international stage and it’s also where Ginetta’s interest lies as a brand. There’s no doubt it’ll be a challenge. The tracks will be new, as will the teams and other cars, but that’s not much different to their situation this year. They’re a tailor-made GT pairing with speed and skills that compliment each other. I see no reason why they can’t be just as successful again.”
