New squad Orion Racing will be mounting an exciting three-car entry for their first full season in the Protyre Motorsport Ginetta GT Championship in 2026.
In partnership with leading karting team Sam Pollitt Racing, Orion Racing made their Ginetta debut in the final round of the 2025 GT Championship season at Donington Park in October. They secured a best result of eighth overall with Felix Livesey.
Livesey will return to the grid next season as he progresses up the Ginetta ladder after three years in the Juniors. The 17-year-old became one of the most experienced Juniors of all-time with more than 70 race starts to his name, producing numerous front-running performances during his tenure.
Felix Livesey: “I am delighted to announce my partnership with Orion SPR for the 2026 Ginetta GT Championship. We have made some brilliant progress so far during the winter months and I am looking forward to a strong campaign this coming season.”
Joining Livesey in stepping up to racing a Ginetta G56 GTP8 in the GT Championship will be Louis Darling. An impressive debut campaign in the GT Academy this year saw Darling secure a GTA class podium finish, multiple overall top six finishes and sixth place in the final GTA points standings.
Louis Darling: “I am honoured to be entering into the 2026 Ginetta GT Championship as part of the Orion Racing team. With a strong learning curve from the 2025 GT Academy, I am looking forward to pushing myself to the limit and hopefully achieving a strong set of results in the GT Championship.”
Completing the team’s entry will be Ginetta newcomer William Antrobus. The teenage racer is making the step up to car-racing following a successful karting career, which included finishing as Junior Rotax class runner-up in the 2024 British Kart Championship.
William Antrobus: “I am very excited to be making my debut in the Ginetta GT Championship in 2026. Working in partnership with Orion SPR, I am looking forward to making the leap from karting to my first full season in cars, and am hopeful of some great results with the team.”
The pinnacle of Ginetta’s domestic racing ladder, the Protyre Motorsport Ginetta GT Championship is an ultra-competitive series that accelerates driver development for aspiring professional drivers. The series utilises the V8-powered Ginetta G56 GTP8, the ultimate one-make GT race car.
