From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
Ginetta GT5 Challenge
, currently known as the
Protyre Motorsport Ginetta GT5 Challenge
for sponsorship reasons (it has also been previously known as the
Ginetta 20 Challenge
), is a
one-make racing
series based in the
United Kingdom
. The series uses the
Ginetta G40
and Ginetta G20 race cars and thus has a two class system. The cars use a sealed
Ford Zetec
1.8-litre engine and tubular steel chassis, full integral FIA approved roll cage and fibreglass shell which ensures safe, controlled racing.
Supporting the
British Formula Three Championship
and
British GT Championship
the series offers a low-cost opportunity to race in a single-make racing championship, with exposure to top racing teams and is an avenue into top level racing. Highlights from every round will usually be shown on Motors TV.
