2017 British Rallycross champion Nathan Heathcote has moved into circuit racing for the first time in his career as he joins Century Motorsport🐎 in the Ginetta GT4 SuperCup cha♍mpionship.

The 22-year-old caught the eye sealing the Britis🦩h Rallycross title two years ago, along with selected World Rallycross RX2 outings last year, and is pursuing a fresh challenge in his career with a move from dirt to circuit racing.

Heathcote🌳 will b𒐪e faced with getting up to speed in a new series, with a new car and learning all the British circuits for the first time but is relishing the opportunity as he hopes to apply some of his rallycross skills into circuit racing.

“I am at a place in my care📖er where I want to push on as hard as we can,” Heathcote said. “I’ve made the decision to switch to circuit racing and the Ginetta GT4 SuperCup is a great series to be involved with and Century Motorsport the perfect team for experi♒ence.

“I have never raced any of the circuits, so if I can get all my testing in and with the simulators being so realistic now I’ll go and smash out a few hundrﷺed laps of each circuit to build up the biggest knowledge base of each track as pos♌sible.

“The first test went really well, and a massive confidence boost as I know I have the ability, so it is a ca๊se of putting it all into action.”

“There are definitely things I can take from rallycross, like racing in the wet and car control. If it goes a bit sideways or with oversteer or understeer that is what I’ve been dealing with at every race in rallycross. There is also circuit strategy that you need in rallycross so I don’t think I’ll b๊e on the backfoot too much.”

Heathcote’s rookie Ginetta GT4 SuperCup campaign gets unde🌊rway at Brands Hatch on April 6-7 as part of the support programme to the British Touring Car Cha🧸mpionship.
