The SRO Motorsports Group have released a document that outlines their plans for the Avon Tyres British GT Championship in 2010.
The document was revealed to the teams and drivers who currently run in the series and those who are interested in entering next season, at a meeting in the Snetterton paddock on 3rd July.
The SRO’s main concerns are cost-cutting measures, such as a reduced calendar and a more compact format, and strategies which are aimed at attracting more entrants for next season, such as, reintroducing the GTC Class and increasing the size of the GT4 Class.
Among other things, the proposed format outlines a removal of the testing ban. On Saturday two 60 minute practice sessions will be followed by two 15 minute qualifying sessions and on Sunday, a single two hour long race will be scheduled.
The SRO have stated that plans won’t be finalised until they have received sufficient feedback from teams and drivers, both current and prospective, and that any revisions made to the current plans will be based on this feedback alone.
