2008 British GT season
The 2008 British GT season was the 16th season of the British GT Championship. This was the first season with the new GT4 category, replacing the GTC category of previous years. Both championships were won at the Brands Hatch meeting in July, with Matt Nicoll-Jones and Stewart Linn securing the inaugural GT4 title in round 11, with James Gornall and Jon Barnes clinching the GT3 title, the following day in round 12.
Points Scoring
- Competitors must have completed 70% of the race distance covered by the class winner to be classified.
- If less than six starters compete in a given class, points scoring for that race for that class will be halved.
- The points system is as follows, where the team scores the same number of points as one driver:
Position |
Points |
1st |
10 |

Rule changes
- All cars run on an Avon Tyres soft compound tyre, instead of having the option of a medium compound in 2007.
