2020’s Intelligent Money British GT Championship campaign enters its home straight this weekend at Snetterton where the GT3 and GT4 Drivers’ titles could be decided in the second of two 60-minute sprint races.


RAM Racing’s Sam De Haan and Patrick Kujala must extend their current nine-point advantage to 38 by Sunday evening in order to wrap up the championship before Silverstone, while any one of four GT4 crews – currently covered by just 2.5 points – have a mathematical chance of clinching the GT4 crown with a round to spare.


Success Penalties, the maximum 50 points available for winning both races, and a determined cast of championship contenders mean the Drivers’ crowns are more likely to be decided in November. But as Jamie Chadwick and Ross Gunn proved at Snetterton in 2015: never say never!
