The Blancpain GT Series visits Great Britain for the 3 Hours of Silverstone on Sunday, catch the live stream here from 09.30 CET...
Massive grids, big name drivers and exotic GT spec supercars are the name of the game in the Blancpain Endurance Series. Add in to the mix the iconic Silverstone Grand Prix circuit, plus traditional British weather and this weekend is looking likely to be a tremendous racing experience for viewers to behold.
With qualifying seeing just a one second gap between the top 24 cars on the grid it really is anyone's guess as to who could walk away with the victory at Silverstone tomorrow. Championship leaders Christian Engelhart and Mirko Bortolotti will be looking to extend their slender five point lead at the head of the standings, whilst series favourite Maxi Buhk will be hard on the heals of the dynamic duo in his AMG Mercedes GT3.
A massive grid of cars awaits the action beginning on Sunday morning for the first official qualifying session, followed by the feature race coverage beginning at 13:20 GMT.
