The Series

Britcar started in 2002 at Snetterton on a cold, wet & windy day with 11 cars and 22 drivers.

Since then, the club has become increasingly popular. The headline championship is known as Britcar GT and is for modern grand touring cars running on Dunlop slick tyres and with full aero dynamic packages.

The races all have a mandatory pit stop, making them ideal for 2-driver teams. They range in length from 90 minutes to 24 hours – a real endurance test for the drivers, car and the team.

Many of the competing cars have professional and experienced drivers from the worlds of British Touring Cars, Le Mans and even Formula 1. After just 4 seasons, the Jemco team is becoming increasingly competitive in this series and is now among the leading championship contenders.

There is generally a relaxed atmosphere at Britcar events. The paddock and pit areas are accessible and most teams will take the time to talk to passing enthusiasts, spectators and fans.

Jemco Racing also occasionally runs in the Heritage Grand Touring Car Challenge in our 1970 Aston Martin DBS. This is the leading race series in Britain for sports, saloon and GT cars from the 1960s and 1970s.

For 2009, the Heritage GTCC has a fabulous calendar, headlined by support races at the A1 GP meeting on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit.

With classes to suit cars in varying stages of modification and careful control of technical eligibility, the series delivers fabulous racing and entertainment for both the drivers and fans.
