British GT season finale to go ahead as planned behind closed doors
Elite sport – as ratified by the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport – can continue behind closed doors during England’s four-week country-wide lockdown, which is due to begin this Thursday. British GT has been granted this elite status by the national governing body, Motorsport UK.
Covid measures will prevent spectators from attending British GT’s #SilverstoneShowdown. However, fans around the world can watch the season finale live on British GT’s Facebook page and website, as well as SRO’s GT World Youtube channel, at 12:50 GMT on 8 November.
We are hugely disappointed that the Intelligent Money British GT Championship’s blue riband Silverstone 500 event will be held behind closed doors. As one of the UK’s major sports venues, Silverstone has been working to the guidance of the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and the safe return of spectators. The circuit has been unable to host fans since March but had been working hard behind the scenes to run British GT’s event with public. We have waited as long as possible to make this announcement but must now sadly concede it is not possible to permit spectators.
Silverstone’s original GP layout played host to the second ever British GT meeting in 1993 when Win Percy’s development-spec Jaguar XJ220 romped to an emphatic victory. Since then its National, International and various GP circuits have welcomed the championship on another 45 occasions, while Silverstone is one of just two venues (the other being Donington Park) to have hosted a British GT round in every one of its 25 seasons to date.
