Reigning champions Charles Dawson and Kiern Jewiss will make a one-off British GT return with 2 Seas and Mercedes-AMG at the Silverstone 500 on April 25-26.
The same combination has since graduated to GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS but has unfinished business in British GT’s blue riband event after missing out on victory by just 0.6s last year.
The duo that beat them – fellow former champions Darren Leung and Dan Harper – previously confirmed their entry in one of Paradine’s two guesting BMWs.
None of the three currently announced race-by-race entries are eligible to score points at the three-hour enduro, which is staging British GT’s season opener for the first time. It’s also been 25 years since the championship began at Silverstone.
Up for grabs is the historic RAC Trophy, which was first awarded for a 500-mile race at Brooklands in 1932.
“We had a brilliant season in 2025 but narrowly losing to Darren and Dan at Silverstone was a big disappointment,” said Dawson whose Mercedes-AMG will carry #1. “Having the chance to right that wrong, with Kiern, is our primary motivation for returning. The strategy-focused format is also now quite unusual within GT racing, while the longer race distance aligns with what we’re doing in Europe this year. We’d love to add our names to the historic RAC trophy.”
