Steller Motorsport is poised for its first GT3 class appearance in British GT since 2020 at the upcoming Silverstone 500 on 26-27 April.
Matt Topham and Darren Burke will share the team’s Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo2 in the Silver-Am class, as Steller adds this effort to its main Corvette GT3 programme in GT World Challenge Europe.
The Buckingham-based team is one of a select number of teams that has run two different makes of GT3 race car during a single season.
It competed in last year’s British GT season with an Audi R8 LMS GT4 but has not contested for overall honours since the 2020 season when it raced with Richard Williams and Sennan Fielding.
Topham is a two-time Silverstone 500 winner in the GT4 category and has yet to enter the blue-ribbon event in GT3 machinery. He is fresh from a substitute appearance for reigning champion Rob Collard in Barwell’s Lamborghini at the Donington Park opener.
Burke, meanwhile, is making his GT3 debut after contesting the 2023 British GT season in a GT4 entry.
He is a well-respected driver coach and became friends with Topham since they first met in Topham’s early motorsport career phase in Caterhams.
In his 2021 British GT debut GT4 campaign, Burke was even set to partner Topham before Aston Martin Racing factory driver Darren Turner co-drove instead at Newbridge Motorsport.
Stellar’s Audi GT3 entry is the second announced Silverstone guest appearance after 2023 champions Darren Leung and Dan Harper announced their one-off comeback.
More entries will be confirmed for the three-hour Silverstone race when the entry list is released next week ahead of the race meeting.
