Phil Keen is set to return to the Intelligent Money British GT Championship in 2023 as a ‘super sub’ at 2 Seas Motorsport.
Keen, who is the championship’s all-time wins record holder will cover for Jonny Adam and Jules Gounon, whose respective Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG factory commitments prevent them from competing at three of this year’s seven events.
Keen will replace Adam at Silverstone and the finale at Donington in a move that sees James Cottingham sharing his season with British GT’s two most successful drivers in terms of titles and wins. Keen and Adam have a combined 35 GT3 victories between them.
Ian Loggie, meanwhile, is no stranger to racing with Keen outside of British GT and shared his Mercedes-AMG with him at media day in Gounon’s absence. The French-Andorran’s IMSA factory commitments will take priority over Algarve, thus Keen will make the trip to Portugal with the team.
“It’s great to be back in the British GT paddock for another season,” said Keen, for whom 2023 will be his 16th consecutive year. “Really looking forward to working with 2 Seas Motorsport – they are a great team, they have made me feel very welcome already, and I feel like I’ve been there a season already.
“Also looking forward to racing with Ian and James, who have proven themselves to be two of the best on the grid, and I think both are strong title contenders for this season. I’m looking forward to working with everyone to keep the championship momentum!”
Oulton Park kicks off 2023’s British GT campaign this Easter Bank Holiday weekend.
