British GT: Topham and Turner return with Newbridge

Milton Keynes-based Newbridge Motorsport will be returning to the Intelligent Money British GT Championship with 2021 GT4 Pro-Am champions Matt Topham and Darren Turner.

The duo won twice in their first season as a driving partnership, piloting the #27 Aston Martin AMR Vantage GT4 to victories at Silverstone and Oulton Park.

Matt Topham has his sights set on the GT4 crown in 2022.

“Racing in British GT has been a dream of mine and 2021 didn’t disappoint – I was surprised how well Darren and I worked as a team last year and the results we achieved, including winning on our debut,” he said. “Now, with experience and results, the expectation and pressure ratchets up a few notches.

“I believe we have the pace to beat the silver crews over a season but that relies on us maximising every weekend, sometimes banking solid points rather than worrying about podiums and wins. With a bit more consistency I have no doubt we can be overall contenders this year. That’s certainly the aim, anyway.”

The 2022 Intelligent Money British GT Championship gets underway at Oulton Park on April 16 – 18.
