Welcome to the GT Circuit Section of the BRCA.
The GT Circuit section was created in 2014 and we are a sub-section of the 1/12th Electric Circuit Section (hence the banner above) and combines three different classes: GT12, World GT10 and Formula 1.
This variety should ensure there is a class to suit most drivers. From the wonderful simplicity of a GT12 that both welcomes a beginner and rewards the skill of a more experienced racer, the greater speed and complexity of a World GT10 and the beautiful scale looks of a Formula 1.
The BRCA GT Circuit Section, together with the host clubs, run a professional, friendly and well organised competition that welcomes drivers of all abilities. Our national indoor series runs from January to April, so whatever the weather you can continue to enjoy racing in the warm and dry. Most of our venues provide hot and cold food and drinks. All events provide pit tables and chairs for our competitors as well as mains electricity.
Our aim is to organise the best national championship in the world while giving good value for money. We hope you will come and race with us. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly if we can be of any assistance.
Good luck with your racing during the forthcoming season.

Race report
Round one of our 2024/25 championship took us to Blackpool. Firstly we’d like to thank everyone involved at Charged RC for hosting a fantastic event and also to Blackpool and Fylde RCCC for running race control.
Following 2 practice rounds, our 35 competitors moved on to qualifying. Based on last years standings, the top seed, Sam Coult set the pace with an opener of 31 laps, closely followed by Matt Gammons also posting 31 laps.
Round 2 saw Matt and Sam swap over for the top 2 places with Ewan Thompson and Michael Laws joining them in posting 31 laps, with 6 seconds separating the top 4.
On to round 3, where Matt retained P1 but now with Ewan taking P2 with just under a second separating them.
There were no improvements after a scrappy round 4 meaning we saw Matt Gammons take his first national TQ, closely followed by Ewan, Sam and Michael being the only 4 drivers to post 31 laps during the qualifying rounds.
Next the finals…
Congratulations to the top 3 in the C final 1. Ethan Boyce 2. Gary Pugh 3. Ashley Pearce
A dominant win in the B final went to Sion Wedley with second and third battling it out to see Adam Mullock crossing the line just 0.4s ahead of Simon Galbraith.
Our last race of the day, as ever, was the A final. A heavy shunt while forming on the grid saw urgent repairs to allow Ewan to start the race. Matt lead from start to finish, and despite his damaged car, Ewan managed to keep Sam behind him, to see the top 3 finishers match the qualifying line up. Behind them there was some close competition, with fifth and sixth being separated by 0.7s and plenty of swapped positions from qualifying.

Adam with 2 wins to Sam's 1.
Round 1 West Cornwall
The season kicked off back in September with a trip way down south to a new venue for the GT12 championship and the West Cornwall club played host for the day , despite the track being a little bumpy the club set out a tight challenging track and it was the previous years champion Dan Robins who left with the early championship lead .
P1 Dan Robins
P2 Matt Varrah
P3 Mark Dieterman
Round 2 Tamworth
A regular venue for the GT12 championship, and with it many of the classes fastest drivers turned out . With over 50 entries proving it to be one of the most popular venues on the calendar . It was to be the two title contenders who topped the time sheets during qualifying and we're only separated by a few 10ths at the end of the final with Adam taking victory although it was Mark Dieterman who now topped the championship table .
P1 Adam Mackman
P2 Sam Coult
P3 Mark Jewitt
Round 3 Chesterfield
Adam and Sam were joined at the top in qualifying by the very fast Louis Parker. With Sam taking TQ , Louis P2 and Adam pushed back to third . With Sam having the home track advantage he looked to be on course for his first win but unfortunately for him it wasn't to be and it was Adam who would be taking home the chocolate .
Mark Dieterman still remained the championship leader .
P1 Adam Mackman
P2 Louis Parker
P3 Ewan Thompson
Round 4 Eastbourne
This time it was to be Morgan Williams who was making a one off appearance and getting in the mix with the front runners. At the end of qualifying it was Sam from Adam and Morgan .
Into the final and after a couple of minutes of racing a collision between the front 3 allowed Matt Gammons into the lead and he never looked back cruising home followed by Morgan and Sam .
With this result Adam was confirmed as the new champion as Sam could now only draw level on points and the tie break in Adams favour.
P1 Matt Gammons
P2 Morgan Williams
P3 Sam Coult
Round 5 Stafford
Back to the midlands for the final round
And another great turnout. With Adam sitting this meeting out it was a very young looking line up at the top of the timesheets . In fact all of the top five were 23 years or younger. At the end of qualifying it was Sam again in pole position but had been pushed hard all day by Ewan Thompson and Scottish racer Alex Robertson making only his 2nd appearance at a Gt12 national.
This time though it was to be Sam's day as he led from start to finish and tieing on points at the top of the championship with Adam .
P1 Sam Coult
P2 Alex Robertson
P3 Michael laws
The celebrations were not over for the Mackman family as young Chase (13) takes the junior title to round off a very successful season for father and son.
What will 2024 bring? More Mackman domination, can Coult turn his great qualifying into race victory's and with drivers like Gammons and Thompson in the fight for podium places will we see another new champion?
