The
Ginetta GT Supercup is another new challenge for United Autosports, having
already announced their two-car entry into the British Touring Car Championship
and their usual slot in the British GT Championship with the Audi R8 LMS ultra.
United Autosports are hoping to create a GT ‘feeder team’ with the addition of
the GT4 championship in 2014. United have also welcomed former Ginetta Championships
Manager, Max Gregory to the team to co-ordinate the feeder GT programme.
The
Leeds-based team will be running a Ginetta G55 with driver Luke Davenport, who
is no stranger to Ginetta. Luke competed in the Ginetta GT5 Challenge, a
support race to the British GT Championship, coming fourth in the championship
in 2013, taking multiple podiums and a race win along the way. Luke will be taking
a step up to the BTCC-supporting G55 category next year as he aims to progress
his racing career.
Davenport said “It
is a big privilege for me to be competing with United Autosports next year.
They are a team I have aspired to join for a long time and I feel they provide
me with the best opportunity to further my learning in the sport. It is great
to hear that the Ginetta Supercup looks set to be such a tightly fought
championship in 2014. I expect the high calibre of competition to be a great
test of my prior experience in the Ginetta Challenge. I would like to thank
Henderson Insurance, my family and Frimstone Ltd for their continued support
for next year.”
