has grown to become one of the most significant players on the global motorsport scene.

As well as dominating GT Championships across the globe, Ginetta is also famed for hosting three of its own
highly successful one-make series, proudly providing the very best and most affordable career ladder in motorsport.

The 2011 season runs across ten weekends, all part of the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). In 2010, over 350,000 people attended the ten rounds, whilst ITV
coverage reached over 11 million viewers in the UK. This provides the perfect platform for drivers to display their talents and once again provides an attractive proposition to sponsors. The G50 Champion will receive a free
lease of a G55 for the 2012 season whilst the G55 Champion will benefit from one of the biggest prizes in motorsport - a fully funded season competing in the BTCC.
