Ginetta runner-up Collins joins Templeton at Century

Ginetta GT Championship runner-up Jack Collins joins Branden Templeton aboard Century's first British GT Championship entry this season.

The 19-year-olds share a dragon-liveried BMW M4 GT4 Evo, which has been christened 'Chomp'.

2026 marks more of the same for Templeton who partnered Chris Salkeld in the same car last season. The duo finished fourth overall and second in the Silver class.

"I’m super excited to be returning to the British GT Championship for my second season in 2026 with Century Motorsport," he said. "After the success we enjoyed last year, I’m incredibly motivated to build on that momentum and take another step forward. I’m feeling positive heading into the year with my new team-mate Jack, who brings a proven record. With a fresh challenge ahead and our awesome new livery we’re ready to hit the track."

Collins enjoyed a breakout year in the Ginetta GT Championship where, in his first season of car racing, he claimed several victories en route to second in the final standings.

"I’m so excited to announce my 2026 British GT campaign with Century Motorsport," he said. "Teaming up with Branden Templeton in the No.24 BMW is an amazing step in my career. Joining such a successful team, I’m confident that both Branden and Century’s experience will put us in a great position to contest for the GT4 championship. The team has already shown their attention to detail and I hope to add another championship to their growing collection."

Century upgraded to the latest Evo spec M4 last season and took three overall GT4 wins thanks to title contenders Ravi Ramyead and Charlie Robertson. With that pairing now moving on to Europe, the team's hopes of further success rest with Templeton and Collins.

“Branden and Jack make a really exciting pairing heading into 2026," said team principal Nathan Freke. "Branden is in his second year with the car, and we saw how much he improved last year, so he’ll hit the ground running. Jack was super impressive with his pace last season, and both drivers get along really well.
"The dynamic between them is excellent. With the brand-new BMW M4 GT4 Evo, we’re aiming to go one better this year and fight for the overall title, building on last year’s success."

Season 34 begins with media day at Silverstone on March 31 before the same venue hosts the season opener on April 25/26.
