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.
