British motorsport brand Ginetta continues to build on its position as one of motorsports most proven and successful platforms for developing young and aspiring racers, with the introduction on the 2021 racing calendar, of the GT Pro Class.
Driver development is at the very core of Ginetta's DNA and this new series allows the best young racers to bridge the gap to the Supercup category and introduce them to a more potent car over nine-weekends across some of the UK's best racing circuits, joining the very same grid as the Supercup series, so all entrants have the chance to race on the same circuit with more powerful cars.
Competing in an uprated version of Ginetta's G55 GTA car, drivers will go wheel-to-wheel in a high-performance car that offers unrivalled driving experience owing to its perfectly balanced 50/50 weight distribution and 3.7 litre V6 engine producing around 300bhp – the perfect combination for drivers looking to push their cars to the next level. Equipped with paddle shifters, the progressive car allows drivers to get accustomed to some of the changes that they will encounter should they progress to the GT4 Supercup.
