GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • JESSICA HAWKINS is making her return to British GT after a two-year hiatus, stepping down from GT3 to tackle the GT4 class for the first time with MKH Racing. The Aston Martin F1 ambassador brings serious credentials from her recent GT World Challenge Europe campaign with Comtoyou Racing, and her partnership with experienced GT4 racer Will Orton sets up what could be a formidable Silver category combination.
  • Orton brings exactly what this partnership needs – deep knowledge of the Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4 from two solid seasons in British GT and European GT4 Series competition. His fourth-place overall finish and second in Pro-Am during 2024 proves he can deliver results when it counts, giving HAWKINS a reliable teammate who knows how to extract pace from this particular machine.
  • MKH Racing is clearly serious about making a statement after their partial 2025 campaign, committing to the full season and assembling what looks like championship-caliber talent. With six Aston Martin GT4s now confirmed for the grid, the competition will be fierce, but this pairing has the experience and backing to mount a genuine title challenge if they can hit the ground running during testing.

UPCOMING:

  • 2026 British GT Championship Season
  • Pre-season Testing
