Will the Tiger Marcos, Tesco Mosler and the Aero 8 be taking part this year? I love these 3 cars and they have been there the last 2/3 years at Oulton.

Nope, none of them, sadly. The Marcos and Morgan used to run in the Cup Class, which has been replaced by GT4, while the Eclipse Mosler is up for sale (but may make a few appearances in Britcar later in the season).

There are still plenty of top drawer cars out there, though.

I guess the Rollcentre Mosler may make a couple of appearances though?

Looks pretty unlikely, sadly. Kevin's committed to Britcar and GT Open, while Rollcentre/Mosler Europe is so busy building cars that I doubt there are any spare for BGT.

There'll be four out hunting in Britcar though.

You now need to follow Britcar then because thats where they race now wink

Team Tiger Marcos is entered at Silverstone this weekend as is an equaly if not faster Marcos and a couple of slower ones, 4 Moslers, a TVR Sagaris, C5 Corvette, a Viper and a host of Porkers from 996 RSR's to 997 Cups and a few of F430 GT3's. A Lambo is due to join the mix very soon as well but not this weekend.

Matt,

Big fan of Marcos myself, I used to sell them a few years ago. The Mantis is an awesome car. Heres some pics of the Team Tiger car: -

Yeah, that was a huge disappointment to me also. I hope it changes for next year.

Thanks very much but Oulton is a bit far from Henley for a one day trip, and I'll have plenty of opportunities to catch up with the GTs this year. I meant the Britcar at Silverstone which is a bit more local.

I believe the Marcos is registered for the invitation class in Britcar.
