Thomas Holland and Hadley Simpson will lead Innovation Racing’s British GT Championship debut in a Ginetta G56 GT4 Evo.
The pairing will share driving duties in the #74 entry, building on their prior experience with Ginetta machinery.
In 2023 and 2024, Holland competed in British GT driving a Ginetta GT4 car, following campaigns in Ginetta GT Academy and Junior, before participating in the McLaren Trophy Europe series in 2025.
Simpson is making his first appearance in British GT after running a dual Ginetta GT Championship and GT Cup effort last year. Both were spent driving a Ginetta G56, and the latter was with Innovation Racing.
Team owner and principal Simon Griffiths said, “We are thrilled to announce the addition of Thomas and Hadley to our team as we kick off our inaugural season in the British GT Championship, driving our newly acquired Ginetta G56 GT4 Evo.
“It fills me with immense pride to reflect on the remarkable journey my team has undertaken over the past year.
“Transitioning from 15 years of club sport racing to establishing ourselves as a professional race team has been a monumental achievement, and now we are poised to compete at the highest level of GT racing in the UK.
“I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported me in reaching this pinnacle of motorsport; while I cannot name everyone individually, they know who they are, and their contributions have been invaluable.
“As we prepare for the upcoming season, I am eager to see how we measure up against some of the finest GT racing teams in Europe, and I am confident that our hard work and dedication will shine through on the track.”
Holland added: “I’m really excited to be returning to the British GT paddock for this year, a paddock in which I started my racing career back in 2020 in the GRDC championship.
“I’ve gotten to know the G56 over my last two stints in British GT and believe that, along with the team, we will be able to get the most out of the car this year.
“Innovation is such a welcoming team, and I’m looking forward to working with them for the year ahead and showing everyone how competitive we can be.
“For 2026, we race in aid of Cancer Research UK.
“I would like to thank my new financial partners, Hoover, who will join previous partners Gnosis Executive and Brim Chargers, and I hope to make them proud this year by bringing home some good results on and off the track.”
“I am incredibly excited to announce my step up to the British GT Championship with Innovation Racing alongside Thomas Holland,” concluded Simpson.
“From competing in Innovation’s very first race to now signing for British GT is a huge moment for both myself and the team.
“I’m proud to continue being part of this journey and can’t thank Simon Griffiths and everyone at Innovation Racing enough for the opportunity.
“Thomas brings a huge amount of experience to the line-up, and I’m looking forward to learning and progressing alongside my new teammate.
“To be competing on the biggest stage in British motorsport means a lot, and I can’t wait to see all the fans this season.”
