Ginetta G50 Cup

 

Ginetta’s G50 sports car is a cost-effective, versatile introduction to real GT racing and a thrill to drive. The one-make Ginetta G50 Championship offers incredible GT racing.

 
The G50 was designed in-house by a team of experts with a vast array of motorsport experience between them. Named the ‘G50’and was released in 2008.

 

Its inspiration is based upon traditional racing car methods but packaged in a new way. The engineering is simple; the weight distribution has been carefully calculated.

Furthermore, available updates allow for competition in higher-level series such as British GT, Britcar, Spanish GT and Belcar with simple modifications to comply with regulations.

 

The championship will be contested over 20 rounds starting on the weekend of 4/5 April at Brands Hatch and concluding at Brands Hatch in October.

The Team

 

Paul is joined by former MX5 driver Joachim Ritter who acquired his G50 in 2008 and raced at Rockingham, Anglesey, Croft and Mallory Park amongst others.

 

Paul will be concentrating on the G50 Cup during 2009 but will mix this with the Ma5da MX5 Championship.
