With a hugely competitive fourth season of the Michelin Ginetta GT4 Supercup in the bag and attentions now turning towards 2015, The Checkered Flag are here with all the key statistics on the championship’s history so far.
It proved to be a record-breaking 2014 season for series stalwart Carl Breeze, who joined the championship in reaching the 100 race milestone at Knockhill in August, while four wins for the year saw him overhaul Tom Sharp’s all-time win record.
While Breeze holds the records for most wins, podiums and race starts, 2013 champion Tom Ingram leads the way in pole positions and fastest laps, as well as wins, podiums and fastest laps in a season in his championship year.
For 2014 victor Charlie Robertson, eight wins and twenty podium finishes have placed him towards the top of those charts, while his six pole positions for the year is a new record for the series.
2014 also saw Fergus Walkinshaw, Reece Somerfield and Jamie Orton all move over the seventy race mark over the course of the season, while Dan Norris-Jones reached his half century.
