Next year’s British GT Championship campaign will begin two weeks earlier than previously announced, while Silverstone’s mid-summer date is shifting by seven days.

Snetterton, which is staging the season opener for the first time in the series’ 35-year history, is now scheduled for April 10-11. This proactive decision avoids a direct clash with the FIA WEC’s long-awaited return to Silverstone.

The other calendar change concerns the blue riband, three-hour Silverstone 500, which was provisionally scheduled for August 14/15. Following a request from the circuit, it will now take place a week earlier on the 7/8.

The championship’s sole event on foreign soil, and first enduro of the season, follows four sprint races split equally between Snetterton and Oulton. Silverstone takes centre stage in mid-summer before a pair of two-hour races at Brands Hatch and Donington Decider complete the six-event, eight-round schedule.

Revised Provisional 2027 Calendar

April 10/11 – Snetterton 300 – 2x 1-hour races

May 29 & 31 – Oulton Park International – 2x 1-hour races

June 19/20 – Spa Speedweek – 1x 2-hour race

August 7/8 – Silverstone 500 – 1x 3-hour

September 11/12 – Brands Hatch GP – 1x 2-hour

October 16/17 – Donington Park GP – 1x 2-hour

The 2026 British GT Championship features cars from seven major manufacturers: Aston Martin, BMW, Ferrari, Ginetta, Lamborghini, McLaren, and Mercedes-AMG. These brands compete across the 26-car grid divided into GT3 and GT4 classes.
