This is a fantastic opportunity for both to break into the industry, and I’d like to wish them all the best for 2014.” Henry Beaudette, presenting competition winner, said: “A speechless presenter is never a good thing, but I’m lost for words! It’s going to be a fantastic experience, and I’d like to send my congratulations to the other finalists who were just as worthy. It’s still hard to believe that I’ll be co-presenting British GT this year.”Liam Jenkins, commentary competition winner, said: “This won’t sink in for a while. I can’t believe I was included within the final five finalists, let alone won the competition. I am completely shocked by this unbelievable news and extremely grateful for the opportunity.”Highlights of the opening round of this year’s Avon Tyres British GT Championship from Oulton Park, which will include Henry and Liam, will be shown at 15:20 BST on April 27.
