Taking part in yesterday's 'Creme 21 Youngtimer Rally' in Spa, was a very special Mini, better known for its role in the British comedy series, Mr. Bean. The Mini 1000 Mark III in its vibrant 'Citron'...

Jaguar XKR-S makes its UK debut at the Goodwood FoS press day

March 11, 2011

The more I see the XKR-S, the more I warm to its smack-you-in-the-face looks, which convey in a far from subtle manner that...er, the XKR-S is anything but subtle. Quite the opposite to the elegant style we've come to expect from Jaguar in recent years, and in stark contrast to the graceful beauty of the classic E-type.

More from our Facebook album ‘British GT – Best of 2023 (link in the bio)’.

British GT has a long history of attracting some of the world’s finest driving talent, and this year, we were treated to the presence of a young man whose reputation grows at every turn of the wheel.

At one stage, Raffaele Marciello looked destined for a fine career in single-seaters (having won the FIA International F3 championship, aligned to Ferrari’s Academy programme), but an inspired move to the AKKA ASP squad in 2017 soon saw him become a leading contender with Mercedes, taking his first title the following year and going on to win the FIA GT World Cup in 2019 and GT World Challenge Europe (Endurance) in both 2022 and 2023.

Still only 28 (and now newly signed to BMW), Marciello had his pick of drives in this country, eventually choosing the opportunity to work with RAM, partnering team owner John Ferguson in a determined title campaign. Two retirements and Ferguson’s struggles to match Loggie’s, Cottingham’s and Leung’s pace didn’t produce the results that had been hoped for, although they did take a win at Snetterton, nevertheless, the fan effect of seeing ‘Lello’ matched against the likes of Jules Gounon, Jonny Adam, Dan Harper and Sandy Mitchell has been immense.

Here he is at Oulton Park where he and Ferguson raced to P2 in Race 2.

Once the model of choice for multiple title winners and contenders, these days, the Beechdean Aston Martin Vantage is the sole GT3 representative of the famous marque competing in British GT.

Here's Beechdean's founder Andrew Howard, twice a champion (2013 & 2015), and now partnered with Ross Gunn, putting a lap on their GT4 sibling as they guide their car to P2 in the championship's penultimate round.

Remember ...

November is a month where we remember, so let's not forget that without its unpaid volunteers (who risk themselves for the love of their sport), motor racing simply wouldn't happen.

'Sunday Best'

The end of the British GT's 2023 season also sees an end (for now) to one of its most colourful teams.

Enduro Motorsport arrived on the scene as FunCuppers yet soon found themselves leading the way, both in pace and style.

Here's the GT4 pairing of Harry George & Darren Burke, pedal to the metal as the Only Fans-backed car pushes the limits across the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit.
