2007 Avon Tyres British GTC Class Vice Champion Aaron Scott will be returning to GT3 this season at the wheel of an ABG Motorsport run Viper Competition Coupe alongside Britcar and Porsche graduate Craig Wilkins for an assault on the overall 2008 Avon Tyres British GT Championship title.

Scott, who won in the British GT3 class at Snetterton in 2006 at the wheel of an Ascari KZ1R, is looking forward to the challenge and both he and Wilkins have already been piling on the test miles since the Kingsbury Jig and Tool Group sponsored car was delivered to the team from French race preparation company Oreca.

“British GT is looking strong in this year and it’s going to be a fantastic season,” said Aaron Scott.  “Because the team got the car last November we’ve already got the car working well and we’ve already gelled as a team well before the season has started.  The Viper is very consistent at all the circuits and last year proved to be the class of the field.  We are very optimistic of some great results and taking on all those Ferraris.”

The two races of the 14 round Avon Tyres British GT Championship takes place at Oulton Park in Cheshire this Easter (22 & 24 March).  The official media launch of the 2008 season takes place at Silverstone on Thursday 6 March when all of the leading contenders for the British GT and British F3 Championships will gather at the Home of British Motor Racing.
