PB Racing by JMH and Team BRIT shared the outright honours as the 2026 GT Cup Championship delivered a dramatic four-race spectacle at Snetterton, where rising stars, changing weather and relentless Lamborghini pressure combined to produce one of the season’s most competitive weekends yet.
Peter Erceg continued his impressive early-season form on Saturday with a commanding pair of GT3 victories aboard the PB Racing Audi R8 GT3 Evo II, before Team BRIT struck back on Sunday as Jamie Falvey and Paul Fullick completed an emphatic overall double in the BMW M4 GT3.
But while the GT3 machinery may have claimed the headline victories, much of the weekend’s attention centred on the ultra-competitive GTC field, where Triple M Motorsport emerged as one of the standout outfits thanks to the performances of Charlie Digby and GT Cup debutant Felix Livesey.
Saturday morning’s qualifying session arrived beneath unexpectedly bright Norfolk skies, and it was Erceg who stole the show with a blistering 1m47.486s lap that left the rest of the field trailing by almost a second. Team BRIT’s Falvey had looked set to secure pole in the BMW before Erceg unleashed a decisive late improvement in the Audi.
Behind them, Digby edged a close Lamborghini Super Trofeo battle with DWG Motorsports with Topcats Racing’s Jack Gadd to secure GTC pole, while teenage sensation Charlie Benson continued to impress in GTH. The 24-7 Motorsport driver backed up Friday’s GCSE commitments with a superb class pole aboard the Ginetta G56.
Erceg converted pole into victory in Saturday’s opening sprint race with a composed drive at the front of the field. The Audi driver controlled proceedings from the outset despite sustained pressure from Digby’s charging Triple M Lamborghini, eventually securing a second overall victory of the campaign by 3.8 seconds.
The opening laps proved especially chaotic behind the leaders. Paul Fullick slipped backwards from the front row as Digby, Gadd, Sean Ran and Luke Bennett all shuffled the Team BRIT BMW down the order through Agostini. Digby’s second overall ensured GTC honours for Triple M, while AF Corse UK newcomer Ran secured GTO victory in the Ferrari 296 Challenge.
There was equal drama in GTH. Benson initially appeared to have claimed a dominant class victory, only for a post-race technical infringement to strip 24-7 Motorsport of the result. That handed Triple M Motorsport’s Harry Yuill a maiden victory of the season after a measured drive in the #65 Ginetta.
Perhaps the standout performance of the sprint came from Ian Astley, who recovered from a pitlane start to claim GTA victory for SVG Motorsport after carving through the field in spectacular fashion.
Saturday’s 50-minute pitstop race provided the weekend’s defining contest. Erceg again controlled the opening phase from pole, but the complexion of the race changed after the mandatory stops when Livesey — sharing the Triple M Lamborghini with Digby — began to reel in the Audi leader.
A mechanical gremlin hampered Erceg in the closing stages and opened the door for Livesey, who swept into the lead before pulling clear to secure a memorable overall victory on his GT Cup debut.
“It feels good, team did a phenomenal job all day,” said Livesey. “The car just felt like it was on rails. Charlie did a mega job to bring it in P1 and I brought it home from there.
Erceg still salvaged GT3 honours despite losing the outright lead, while Frank Morris and James Pickford delivered another strong result for FHM by JMH Auto with second place in GTC after Pickford produced a string of rapid laps late in the race.
“The standard of GTC this year has definitely gone up a notch,” said Morris. “The two young lads in the Triple M car look like they’ve been on an Arnold Schwarzenegger training course! They drive it like they look, proper hard!”
Triple M’s remarkable Saturday continued in GTH as Yuill and Rob Garofall completed a second consecutive class victory, while SVG Motorsport’s Neil Wallace and Astley added another GTA success to cap an impressive opening day.
Sunday, however, belonged to Team BRIT.
Falvey immediately established the BMW’s pace advantage in qualifying with a 1m47.540s pole position lap, narrowly clear of the GTC Lamborghinis of Livesey and Gadd.
The opening pitstop race saw Falvey dominate the first stint before handing over to Fullick with a commanding advantage. The BMW pairing never looked threatened thereafter, sealing Team BRIT’s second outright win of the season by 15 seconds.
Behind them, Gadd finally converted DWG Motorsports with Topcats Racing’s pace into GTC victory after a race-long scrap with the Triple M Lamborghini, which dropped back with a fuel pump issue.
GTH again delivered some of the weekend’s closest racing. Four Ginettas and Jolt Racing’s McLaren Artura spent much of the race in contention before Innovation Racing’s Sam Branston emerged victorious after an inspired double stint.
“No running on Friday, getting up to speed with my first few laps in qualifying on Saturday, and managed to claw it back in the pitstop race,” said the 16-year-old. “I’m over the moon.”
Innovation Racing also claimed GTA victory thanks to Bryn Calder and Kyle Wells, ending SVG Motorsport’s unbeaten run in class.
The weekend concluded with another sprint race interrupted early by a safety car following an incident at Riches. Once racing resumed, Falvey escaped at the front to complete a clean sweep of Sunday’s outright victories for Team BRIT.
Livesey claimed his first solo GT Cup victory in GTC despite intense pressure from Bertie Bream’s Innovation Racing entry, while Yuill rounded out Triple M’s superb weekend with a third GTH triumph from four races.
“We started the day on Friday and we didn’t really know where we were,” said Falvey. “The engineering team have done a mega job. Me and Paul just had to keep it between the lines and do what we’re told.”
The GT Cup Championship now heads to Donington Park on 27-28 June for round three, with the early signs already pointing towards a fiercely contested title fight across every class.
