GBS to Exhibit at PistonHeads Annual Service 2026....

We’re excited to announce that GBS has been invited to exhibit for the first time at this year’s PistonHeads Annual Service, taking place on Saturday 8th August at Bicester Motion.

This is a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase the GBS Zero to a wider audience, and we’re looking forward to being part of what has quickly become one of the UK’s must-attend automotive events. The GBS team will be on hand throughout the day with a selection of Zeros and our product range, so whether you’re an existing owner, a future builder, or simply a car enthusiast, we’d love you to come and see us.

Launched as part of PistonHeads’ 25th anniversary celebrations, the Annual Service has rapidly grown into a flagship event. The inaugural show welcomed over 5,000 enthusiasts, and by 2025 it had expanded into a complete sell-out with a record 7,000 attendees — highlighting just how popular and well-regarded it has become.

For one day only, the entire Bicester Motion site is transformed into a vibrant automotive showcase — a privilege reserved for only a select number of events. The live stage sits at the heart of the day, hosting exclusive interviews, podcast recordings, and award ceremonies, while across the venue visitors can explore an incredible mix of display cars, themed areas, manufacturers, specialists, and car clubs.

We’re proud to be part of this exciting event for the first time and can’t wait to meet fellow enthusiasts, share our passion for the Zero, and connect with the wider automotive community.

Be sure to keep an eye on our events page for more details — and make sure to come and say hello if you’re attending!

A Fantastic Start to the Bank Holiday Weekend – GBS Friday Night at the Factory.....

On Friday 1st May, we kicked off the bank holiday weekend in style with our first GBS Friday Night at the Factory event of the year — and what a fantastic evening it was.

With the gates opening at 5pm, it didn’t take long for the car park to fill up. It was great to see so many Zeros together, alongside a wide variety of other sports cars, all coming together to enjoy a relaxed summer evening with fellow enthusiasts.

We were all treated to freshly baked pizza from Sherwood Fired Pizza, along with drinks served throughout the evening, creating a great atmosphere for everyone to unwind, chat, and enjoy the cars on display. Events like this are all about bringing the community together, and it was brilliant to see such a strong turnout.

We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who joined us — we hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did.

About GBS Friday Night at the Factory

Be sure to also save Saturday 18th July, as we’re planning another exciting event — more details will be announced soon on our website.

Great to see a Zero out on the road and being enjoyed in the USA.....

We love seeing Zeros being driven all over the world — on the road and on track. This one, based in Florida, has already covered its first 250 miles. GBS Customer Dana has sent us over some photos and shared details on his build and what he has done to it -

Dana said “I've been at the car for almost three years and it's now licensed and registered in the US.  I'm slowly increasing the range of drives as I gain confidence in the build. I started the car as I wanted a long term project and have been working slowly, concentrating on quality time rather than just getting it built. I had the fiberglas parts scanned, got custom paint to match and painted it in my garage. The color per Valspar is "School bus green" but it looks like BRG to me! (I have the colour formula is anyone needs it). The yellow stripe is 3M vinyl car wrap which I applied using their fine line tape. I've also made a number of mods to make it easier to build and maintain such as hinged/removeable panels, inspection ports, screws rather than rivets, etc.

I've built houses, a couple airplanes and several boats but this is the first car(mods to the engine/suspension on the MX-5 were my last long project). The 7 still needs a few things tweaked and some final trim and I expect to be totally done this summer. I'm just taking a break from working on it now to enjoy the spring weather - it is a blast to drive and attracts attention everywhere”.

”Here’s a list of most of the mods I made to the GBS, hopefully for the better-
- An aircraft-type inspection port over the oil filter so it can be easily removed.
- Modification to the steering shaft surround to allow the push button in the center of the wheel to sound the horn. This one took a while – I think I used nineteen 3/32” rivets to put it back together after cutting it up. Recovered it with the same stuff I used on the center console and boots.
- Removeable panel on the right side beside the U-joint for access to the speedo sensor, wiring, etc.
- Hinge on the flat panel just forward of the firewall to allow access to the wiring under it. It’s held down with 3 6mm screws. Wiring and fuses for the heated seats are under there.
- Every aluminum panel on the car is painted on both sides with epoxy primer and finish paint. I live on a saltwater canal and corrosion is a major issue here.
- 6-32 rivnuts on the scuttle to attach the firewall with SS screws to ease removal if necessary.
- All rivnuts on the car are stainless steel for corrosion issues.
- I split the panel behind the seats to make it easier to fit w/o bending – connected with hard flush rivets after installing.
- The bracing flange to mount the dash to the scuttle was attached with 3/32” flush rivets.
- The only panels I bonded on are the footwells. This for relative ease of repair if needed. I used more rivets than called for and added beads of low modulus construction silicone on the outer side panels – these can be easily cut through to remove the panels if I get dinged. I will not race this car and a future owner could disassemble it and bond the panels on if needed.
- The only 6mm rivnuts(9mm holes) I put in the frame are a couple for the rear fenders and the oil catch tank in the nose. Things that don’t need much holding power like bonnet pins, hinged panel holddowns, boot panel over the diff, arch trim, etc. are 5 & 6mm screws in holes tapped into the square tubing  with blue locktite as needed. All screws are SS.
- Brackets made from aluminum angle to mount the front turn signals – allows removal of the nose w/o having to disconnect wiring. Probably only useful in the US.
- The trim rings around the shifter and hand brake were made from a 12” x 12” sheet of 3/16” 6061 aluminum, cut to shape and polished. I made the boots from Naugahyde I got from a local hobby store.
- I eliminated the rear fog light; no need or requirement for it here. Tail lights are LED units I got from Chris Watson with backup, turns, brakes built in. I didn’t care for the look of the lights provided. I would have used the current rear lights if they had been available then.
- I had the engine supplier install Crower stage 2+ cams and retainers; this thing really pulls hard when the revs come up.
- Installed 205F/225R tires. One side rubbed a bit at the rear of the back fender, but a little sanding fixed that.
- The boot is covered with carbon fiber panels I got from Amazon and is lockable. Liked the look plus I didn’t want to use the vinyl cover as boat-type “poppers” don’t fare well in the saltwater atmosphere here.
- The only carpeting I’ve installed so far has been on the sides of the footwells. I’ll try to find some rubber mats for the footwell bottoms. Will probably cut some small pieces of carpet for the area under the front of the seats but will not carpet under the seats. I’ll probably put carpet on the panel behind the seats. Will put some in the boot sides but the bottom will have a removeable piece. We have torrential thunderstorms here in the summer and it will get soaked; I want water to be able to run out quickly. I doubt I’ll put carpet beside the seats as they rub pretty hard against the panels as is.

There’s no IVA here in Florida, nor even an inspection of any kind. I had to take the car to a Florida state DMV office where the state assigned VIN sticker was applied. Evidently, the car had to appear “in person” to verify the number was actually attached to a car that didn’t already have one.

I have 250 miles on the car now and nothing has fallen off or caught fire… I’m having a great time with it”. Dana,B - Florida, USA.

It was a great visit from West Notts College, welcoming students studying motor vehicle courses into the GBS workshop. We’re always keen to support students and share our passion for engineering and car building, helping inspire the next generation of automotive talent.

The GBS Zero makes a perfect educational project — offering real hands-on experience and the unique reward of driving a car you’ve built yourself. It’s a fantastic way to develop practical skills and gain a deeper understanding of vehicle design and assembly.
If you’re interested in working with us or arranging a visit for your group or college, please get in touch with the team.

Discover the GBS Factory Tour Experience:
Our factory tours offer visitors a unique insight into the complete journey of the GBS Zero. From initial design through to final assembly, guests can see first-hand how our cars are created — and what makes them so special.
During the tour, visitors get up close with all areas of our operation, including fabrication, engineering, and the workshop. You’ll see how components are developed, how the chassis is produced, and how each car comes together through careful assembly and attention to detail. It’s a fantastic way to understand the craftsmanship and expertise behind every build.

We’re proud that around 80% of the Zero is designed and manufactured in-house by our team.

We look forward to welcoming you to GBS soon.

First GBS Track Day of 2026 — What a Day!

What a fantastic way to kick off our first GBS track day of 2026! At Blyton Park (one of our favourite tracks) with Javelin Trackdays, the day delivered everything you could want from a track event — sunshine, speed, great company, and plenty of action out on circuit.

Its always great to see so many Zeros together in one place, all being driven as they were designed to be — out on track. From seasoned drivers to those experiencing their first time behind the wheel, the atmosphere throughout the day was friendly, supportive, and full of enthusiasm.

Our Zero demonstrator cars were kept busy from start to finish, giving passenger laps and showcasing exactly what the Zero is capable of. It’s always a highlight to see the reactions from those stepping out of the car — a real reminder of just how exciting these cars are to drive, especially on the track!

As with any proper track day, there were a few moments of drama along the way, including the odd spin and even some trackside repairs. But that’s all part of the experience, and it was great to see everyone pitching in, helping each other, and getting cars back out on track as quickly as possible.

Events like this are what the GBS community is all about — bringing people together to enjoy their cars, share knowledge, and have a great time in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day such a success. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We’d also like to thank the team at Javelin Trackdays for helping to deliver a great event. We’ll be announcing our next track event soon — so keep an eye out, and we hope to see even more of you on track next time!

Head to our GBS events page to see more events we have planned, including our first GBS Friday Night at the Factory event happening this Friday (1st May) at GBS - Gate open at 5pm and all cars are welcome to join us!

Strong Start to the Race Season for a GBS Zero in Malta.....

It’s always fantastic to see our Zeros being enjoyed both on the road and out on track — and even better when they’re delivering strong results.

We’re pleased to share a great result from Malta, where a GBS Zero secured 2nd place in class at the opening round of the Island Car Club Malta Hillclimb Championship in Baħrija. A brilliant way to kick off the season.

Driven by Herman Magro, the GBS Zero performed exactly as intended, showcasing the balance, capability, and performance that these cars are built to deliver.

This result reflects not only the work put in behind the scenes but also the focus and commitment to getting the very best out of the car. It’s great to see that effort translating into success at events.

We’re looking forward to following this Zero throughout the year as it continues to compete in the championship and take on more events.
Fancy seeing how the Zero perform on the track? Then why not join us on Saturday 25th April for the first GBS Track Day of the year at Blyton Park, more details can be found on our event page.

Great to see the GBS Zero making an impression in the USA.....

Last week we received some fantastic photos from GBS Zero owner Aaron in the USA, showing his Zero on display at the Salem Roadster Show in Oregon. Aaron’s car attracted plenty of attention and interest throughout the event and was one of only a few British cars on display.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Aaron and his family to the GBS factory last summer whilst on holiday in the UK. It was fantastic to finally meet them in person after many months of working together remotely. During their visit, they enjoyed a full tour of the GBS factory, met the team, and experienced a test drive in our latest GBS demonstrator.

Some of you may also recognise Aaron’s Zero from our stand at the Miata Reunion at Sonoma Raceway in California in 2024, where Richard, Matt and Paul were attending. The car certainly gathered a lot of attention and excitement there as well.

We’re incredibly proud that the GBS Zero is now enjoyed by owners all over the world, including a growing number of passionate customers across the United States. To support this growing community, we have a dedicated GBS USA representative who is on hand to assist with enquiries, provide local knowledge, and help guide customers through the self-build or turnkey process, shipping, and more.

Whether you're based in California, New York, Texas, or anywhere in between, we can help make your Zero dream a reality.

If you're based in the USA and are interested in the GBS Zero — whether it’s our Mazda-based kit, a custom configuration, or a fully factory-built option — get in touch. We’d be happy to connect you with our USA representative or arrange a video call with our team here at the factory to explore the options available.

We look forward to seeing even more Zeros on the road across the USA and welcoming more American customers to the GBS factory in the future.

Awesome Test Day at Donington Park with the Zeros - CSCC Magnificent Sevens Test Day....

We had an awesome day at Donington Park last week as our GBS Zero Race Car took to the track for the CSCC Magnificent Sevens Series official test day.

Behind the wheel was Will Orton, who put the car through its paces in what proved to be a hugely productive and successful outing. The conditions were kind to us, with dry weather throughout the day making it ideal for consistent running and focused testing.

The Zero performed exceptionally well, achieving some very competitive lap times and showing strong pace straight out of the box. The day wasn’t just about speed, though — it was an important opportunity to gather data and continue developing the car ahead of the season opener next month.

We worked through a detailed testing programme, including Damper adjustments and suspension setup refinement, Engine calibration tweaks and general setup changes to improve balance and drivability.

Our Zero race car is powered by a standard-spec Ford 2.5 Duratec engine fitted with ATR throttle bodies, delivering strong, reliable performance — perfect for competitive club racing.

The car is now back in the workshop for further refinements and final preparation ahead of the first race of the season. We’re excited to confirm that we’re expecting four or five more Zeros to be joining us on the grid later this month — it’s shaping up to be a fantastic start to the year.

On the test day we were also joined by another Zero owner, who will also be racing in the series. It’s great to see more Zero drivers stepping into competitive racing and building a strong presence within the Magnificent Sevens paddock.

It was also fantastic to welcome customers who came along to support us and see the Zeros in action on track. Events like these are a brilliant way to experience the cars doing what they’re built for — lightweight, responsive, and seriously capable on circuit.

If you’re interested in going racing, there’s still time to enter the CSCC Magnificent Sevens Series this season. It’s a competitive yet friendly championship and a perfect platform for Zero owners looking to take the next step into motorsport.

Alternatively, why not join us at our upcoming GBS Track Day at Blyton Park in April? It’s a great opportunity to get your Zero out on track, develop your driving skills, and enjoy the car in a safe, supportive environment. There are still places available!

We’re looking forward to continuing to work closely with Will as we push to get the very best out of our Zero Race Car this season — Exciting times ahead!

GBS Zero returns to the CSCC Magnificent Seven Championship with racing driver Will Orton....

We’re excited to announce that we’ve entered our GBS Zero race car into this year’s CSCC Magnificent Seven Championship once again, joined by several other GBS Zero owners who will also be competing throughout the season.

We’re delighted to confirm that racing driver Will Orton will be driving for us in the opening round at Donington Park in March. Last year Will competed in the GT4 European Series with Aston Martin, driving the new Vantage GT4, and is also a ARDS-A Instructor and Driver Coach.

Will is no stranger to GBS. Several years ago, he joined us at one of our GBS Track Days, where he spent time on track giving passenger laps in our Zero demonstrator. His driving skill and smooth, confidence-inspiring style left a lasting impression — so much so that customers still talk about their passenger rides with Will to this day.

While Will has driven our road Zero, this will be his first time behind the wheel of our Zero race car. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be busy preparing the car and working closely with Will to achieve the best possible setup ahead of our upcoming test day, also at Donington Park later this month.

We can’t wait to see Will out on track in our GBS Zero race car alongside the other Zeros on the grid. Be sure to follow us across our social media channels for updates, videos, and behind-the-scenes content as we get race-ready.

A few words from Will- “I’m really looking forward to taking part in the first round of the CSCC Magnificent Seven Championship in collaboration with Great British Sports Cars. They’re a local business and one I’ve had a great relationship with over the years, so to finally represent them in this race at Donington Park is something I’m really excited about. I’d also love to welcome any owners of GBS sports cars to head down to Donington on the 29th of March to show their support.” Will Orton.

The Zero is perfectly suited to both road and track use, with a range of options available to meet your individual requirements. Whether you’re looking for a versatile performance road car or exploring competitive motorsport with our Zero race car, we have solutions to match your goals.

If you’re interested in racing or would like to learn more about our Zero race car packages, get in touch with the team to discuss your options. And don’t forget — our GBS Track Day at Blyton Park takes place on 25th April. If Will isn’t racing or instructing, there’s a good chance he may be joining us there as well.

GBS Factory Tour kicks off the first event of the Year....

On Saturday (31st January) was our first event of the year, we were delighted to welcome guests to our first GBS full factory tour of the year. These days are always a highlight for us, as they give us the chance to share what we do, how we do it, and—most importantly—why we love it.

The tour offers visitors a behind-the-scenes insight into life at GBS, from the early design stages through to the manufacture of the GBS Zero and our full range of products. Guests were able to see first-hand how our vehicles are engineered, assembled, and developed, as well as meet some of the team responsible for bringing each project to life.
