2024 British GT Championship Review - The Collard Family Takes Glory
Ed Hardy makes his Autosport Podcast debut alongside Chief Editor Kevin Turner to review the 2024 British GT Championship, as the Collard father and son duo of Ricky and Rob joined forces to take overall glory, ahead of the second Barwell Motorsport car of Alex Martin and Sandy Mitchell.
Kevin and Ed break down where the title was won and lost between the two Barwell teams, such as the consistency of the Barwell teams, how fourth-placed team 2 Seas Motorsport of Phil Keen and Ian Loggie ended up switching to Porsche halfway through the season, and Ed ranking some of the more under-appreciated drivers in the series this season, such as Driven to Succeed guest Adam Smalley with Garage 59, and Jonny Adam in the Blackthorn team. Also included is a review of the GT4 class, won by Jack Brown and Zac Meakin at Optimum Motorsport.
