BRITISH GT ROUNDS SHIFT AFTER GP SWITCH

The dates of three rounds of British GT’s calendar for 2023 have been changed following the knock-on impact of Formula 1’s recently published schedule for next year.

F1’s calendar includes the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa set for a month earlier than usual, on July 29-30, which is the same weekend that the GT3 flagship

Spa 24 Hours was due to take place. The Spa endurance race, which is also a GT World Challenge Europe round, has therefore also been moved forward to July 1-2.

This has had a considerable knock-on impact on the GT calendar and British GT and GTWCE organiser SRO has had to move in total 14 of its European dates for next year. Some British GT teams and drivers also compete in GTWCE so races in the two contests cannot clash.

The revised British GT calendar has all the same venues and races in the same order as on the initial calendar that was published in July. However the Snetterton meeting has moved one week earlier to

June 17-18 while the Algarve International Circuit round is now one week later on July

22-23. The Donington Park season finale is also one week later, on October 21-22.
