This weekend AF Corse will be three cars strong in round three of the Avon Tyres British GT Championship at Silverstone. Title challengers in the previous three seasons, Matt Griffin and Duncan Cameron will resume their 2013 season with the Italian team having initially begun the seven round series with Mtech.

Thrapston-based, Griffin, drives with the Italian team in the FIA World Endurance Championship and told Autosport, “Duncan has decided not to continue with Mtech.” Referring to the decision to join AF in British GT he added, “It makes sense because of my links with the team. British GT is probably now the hardest national GT championship in the world, so we are very happy to be doing it with a team like AF.”

The pairing will hope to get their season back on track after having a miserable outing at Oulton Park where they finished a lowly eighth place in the first race and took a DNF in the second. Last year at Silverstone Griffin snatched pole late on in qualifying and will no doubt we hoping for similar fortunes this weekend.

The move sees Griffin and Cameron re-united with Aaron Scott and John Dhillon who were team-mates at Mtech in 2011 when Scott and Dhillon took the British GT GT3B class. Also signed up to run a Ferrari 458 GT3 with Amato Ferrari’s team is Australian Steve Wyatt and Italian Michele Ruggolo.

Top British Ferrari team, Mtech will be back to full-strength at Silverstone with a two-car Ferrari 458 team.

Track action at Silverstone gets underway on Saturday at 9am, with the first of the two free practice sessions. Free practice two begins from 12pm midday until 1pm and qualifying starts at 4:30pm for 45-minutes. After a quick ten-minute warm-up on Sunday morning at 9am, the three-hour race begins at 1pm, finishing at 4pm.
