The news was released by Elshimy, an Automotive Engineering student at Loughborough University, ahead of his maiden campaign in the catagory with the new-for-2015 outfit SVG.
The 18-year-old was vice-champion in the pre-2005 Classic Touring Cars Racing Club in a Peugeot 206 last season, and has nine-years of racing experience in Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Belgium and England.
Ahead of this years campaign in a Ginetta G40, Elshimy said: “the Ginetta GT5 Challenge seems like a logical stepping stone towards become a professional GT driver, and it is also one of the best championships in terms of media coverage and the quality of driving present.”
With a wealth of experience behind him in the cockpit, and despite being just 18-years-old, the Ginetta-debutant is aiming high for 2015.
“I would like to finish in the championship top three in my first season as well as develop and expand my knowledge as a racing driver.”
