British GT Calendar: Every Round, Date and Venue for the 2025 Season

The 2025 British GT Championship runs across seven rounds at six UK circuits, opening at Oulton Park over the Easter weekend and closing at Donington Park in October. The season mixes short sprint races with two-hour and three-hour endurance rounds, so the format — and the best day to turn up — changes from venue to venue. Below is the full British GT calendar with dates, venues and what to expect at each round, plus practical notes on tickets, timings and how to spot the cars that matter.

British GT is the UK's premier sportscar series, running GT3 and GT4 machinery from the likes of Aston Martin, Porsche, McLaren, BMW, Mercedes-AMG, Ferrari and Lamborghini. Each car shares a pair of drivers, so the racing rewards strategy and pit work as much as outright pace. If you have never been, it is one of the most accessible paddocks in UK motorsport — the garages are usually open and the cars are spectacular.

2025 British GT calendar at a glance

Dates and formats follow the SRO-published schedule. Always confirm the exact weekend and on-track times nearer the event, as supporting bills and session times can shift.

Round counts and the exact calendar can be adjusted by the organisers between seasons, so treat the above as the published plan rather than a guarantee. For the live, always-up-to-date schedule across every discipline, our motorsport calendar and event map let you filter by circuit and date.

Round-by-round: what to expect

Oulton Park — season opener

Traditionally held over the Easter bank holiday Monday, Oulton is a flowing, old-school parkland circuit with real elevation through Cascades and Druids. The two-race sprint format means more starts, more action and plenty of overtaking into the hairpins. Spectating is excellent — the banking around Lodge and the run to Cascades gives you long sightlines.

Silverstone GP — the three-hour

The longest race on the calendar, run on the full Grand Prix layout. This is British GT at its most strategic: fuel, tyres and multiple driver changes all come into play. Silverstone usually offers the most spectator facilities and grandstands, and the GT field is often supported by a strong bill of SRO categories.

Donington Park — midsummer and finale

Donington appears twice in 2025, including the title-deciding weekend. The Craner Curves are among the best viewing spots in British motorsport — stand on the inside and watch GT3 cars commit at serious speed. If you can only do one round, a Donington finale with the championship on the line is hard to beat. For circuit day-trip logistics, our Brands Hatch track day guide gives a feel for how UK circuit access, noise limits and booking typically work.

Snetterton — the Norfolk three-hour

Fast, flat and wide, Snetterton's 300 layout suits slipstreaming battles. The three-hour format here makes for an engaging afternoon, and the open paddock is a highlight for anyone wanting to get close to the cars.

Spa-Francorchamps — the overseas round

British GT regularly includes a continental fixture, and Spa is a bucket-list circuit. Eau Rouge and Raidillon need no introduction. If you are planning a trip across the Channel to combine racing with track time, our sister site's UK and European trackday list is worth a look.

GT3 vs GT4: what you are actually watching

British GT runs two classes on track at once, which is part of the appeal and the challenge for newcomers.

	GT3	GT4
Power	Roughly 500–600 bhp	Roughly 400–500 bhp
Aero	Full racing aero, big wings	Closer to road-car looks
Driver mix	Pro-Am and Silver-Am pairings	Strong amateur and young-driver pathway
Examples	Aston Martin Vantage, Porsche 911 GT3 R, McLaren 720S	BMW M4 GT4, Mercedes-AMG GT4, Ginetta G56 GT4

On track, the faster GT3 cars lap and overtake the GT4s, so watch how lead drivers manage traffic — it often decides results more than raw pace.

Tickets, timings and planning your day

• When to arrive: for sprint rounds like Oulton, come for qualifying on the Saturday and both races. For endurance rounds, the main race is the event — get there before the start and stay for the pit cycle.
• Ticket prices: these vary by circuit and are set by each venue, not the series. Many venues offer advance online discounts and free entry for children. Check the circuit's own ticketing page for the exact figure before you travel.
• Paddock access: British GT is well known for open or affordable paddock access — a real bonus if you want to see the cars and crews up close.
• Support races: the SRO weekends usually feature GT Cup, British F4 or one-make cup grids, so there is action most of the day.

Because entry prices and availability are set per venue and change, we do not list a single fixed fee here — confirm with the circuit. If you are still deciding which discipline to watch first, our spectator's guide to UK motorsport breaks down what each series feels like trackside.

How to follow British GT if you can't attend

Races are typically streamed free via the official British GT channels, with live timing available online so you can track the pit cycle and class positions. If you enjoy following sessions in real time, the approach is similar to the one in our BTCC live timing guide — pit windows and sector times tell you far more than the headline order.

Thinking of competing one day?

GT racing sits near the top of a long ladder. Most drivers start in karting before moving through junior single-seaters or club sportscar racing. If that path appeals, our guide on how to get into karting in the UK covers licences, costs and your first race.
