The series uses Ginetta G56 GTA class cars, outfitted with Ford 3.7 litre V6 engines and ran on Michelin tyres.
In 2025 Ginetta underwent a cost-reduction on their championships, and introduced the Quaife QBE69G gearbox to the G56 GTA, as well as introducing fixed set-ups, with both GTA and Rookie class cars running identical settings for dampers, roll bars, camber, rear wing and ride height. All changes to the cars were implemented free of charge along with the championship entry fee.[2]
Format
Practice sessions are typically run on Thursday and Friday before a race weekend. Race weekends typically include a qualifying session and three 20-minute races. Qualifying sets the grid for race one, with the second fastest times from this session setting the grid for race two, and the fastest times in race two setting the grid for race three.
Rounds have been run as support for the British GT Championship and BTCC, as well as being part of car show G-Fest, ran by Ginetta.
