With some foreign appearances, 43 cars are expected to start this weekend’s Silverstone 500, the three-hour race and the pinnacle of the British GT championship. One of these additional cars is the #1 Century Motorsport BMW M4 GT3 of Dries Vanthoor, making his British Endurance Championship debut, with reigning champion Darren Leung.

Vanthoor and Leung will both compete in the FIA WEC for Team WRT in 2024, one in Hypercar and the other in LMGT3. Leung won last year’s Silverstone 500 with Dan Harper, who now drives another Century Motorsport car with Michael Johnston. Other one-off matches in GT3 include Chris-Buncombe-Jann Mardenborough (Team RJN – McLaren), Andrew Gilbert-Fran Rueda (Optimum Motorsport – McLaren) and Alex West-Chris Froggat (Sky Tempesta Racing – Ferrari). The entry list includes a total of 24 GT3 and 19 GT4.
The first two races of the season took place at the Oulton Park circuit over the Easter weekend and both Barwell Lamborghinis recorded wins apiece. Alex Martin and Sandy Mitchell currently lead GT3, five points ahead of Rob and Ricky Collard.
Qualifying will take place on Saturday and the Silverstone 500 will start on Sunday at 1:30 PM Belgian time.
