Jack Mitchell has announced that he will return to the British GT Championship for the 2019 season, and once again he will be back behind the wheel of the BMW M6 with Century Motorsport. 

This time the 2018 GT4 Drivers’ champion will make the move to the GT3 championship where he will form a Pro/Am crew with series returnee Adrian Willmott.

Mitchell was the only driver to claim two GT4 victories earlier this season after spending the previous year competing in GT3. However, 2019 will be his first-ever British GT campaign in the Pro/Am class after teaming up with the experienced Willmott.

“I am really excited to be racing the BMW M6 GT3 with Century Motorsport for the 2019 British GT season,” said Mitchell, who also won China GT’s GT4 title in 2018. “After racing in the GT3 class in 2017, I felt it improved me as a driver and set me up with the knowledge, experience and tools to win this year’s GT4 championship. Coming back into the class for 2019 I feel I have made another step in the right direction with my driving, which is needed when you look at the calibre of drivers I will be up against.

“I am really looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the BMW M6 GT3. It will be the first M6 GT3 to be used in the British GT Championship and I am sure with the help of Century and BMW Motorsport we will be able to put the car at the front of the grid where it deserves to be.

“I am very excited to be working alongside Adrian as my team-mate; we will be working very hard together in testing to prepare ourselves for the season ahead and make the most out of every lap we do. I would also like to thank our sponsors for their support and I look forward to helping them with their marketing programmes throughout the year.”
