The season-opening ‘Silverstone 500’, on April 25-26 will be Ross’s first race with Beechdean since he joined Andrew, Valentin Hasse Clot and Anthony McIntosh at the 24 Hours of Spa last year; the quartet finishing second in the Pro-Am class.

Five further events will follow, featuring a mix of hour-long sprint races as well as endurance races of two or three-hour duration. The season concludes at Brands Hatch on September 26-27.

Andrew Howard, Team Principal, said: “It was brilliant to get back to championship-winning ways in 2025 and to finish on the podium at the 24 Hours of Spa. For 2026 we’re aiming even higher as we return to the Pro-Am class with a livery that might remind a few people of some fantastic past times, and target the overall podium from the get-go. Having Ross back is brilliant. He’s been a regular in the garage since he was a child and it’s been awesome to watch his career go from strength to strength since he first raced with Beechdean AMR in 2015. I’m looking forward to the coming season more than I have done for a long time.”

Ross Gunn said: “I’m so excited to be back in the British GT Championship for 2026 and to have the opportunity, as part of the Aston Martin Racing family, to race again with Beechdean AMR and with Andrew. From watching my dad race Beechdean Minis when I was little, to the support Andrew’s given me through my career, there’s always been a strong link between myself and the team and it’s brilliant to be back. Andrew’s coming into the season as the reigning Silver-Am champion and finished last season on such strong form, so my target is to pick up where we left off and be fighting to finish at the sharp end.”
