COVENTRY’S Blake Angliss has set his sights on challenging for the British GT Championship title this season.
The young driver is busy preparing for his first full season in British GT4 with Mahiki Racing.
Angliss secured a class podium finish in only his fourth race in the championship in 2024 and added further silverware and a maiden class pole position last season.
He initially joined Mahiki as a reserve driver but impressed on and off the track to earn a race seat during the previous campaign.
The 22-year-old will drive Mahiki’s McLaren Artura GT4 this season – the same car he made his British GT debut in.
Angliss forms part of a GT4 silver class entry alongside teenage talent Revie Lake with the latter making his British GT debut this year.
Angliss said: “I’m delighted to be returning to the British GT Championship grid for the 2026 season with Mahiki Racing.
“Last year, we ended on a high and it feels only natural to keep the momentum going into a second year together.
“I’m hugely thankful to the team for their support in me.
“We built up a great relationship last season and now moving to the McLaren, I believe we as a team can really make the package work and put together a GT4 title challenge this year.
“I know the McLaren and was quick in it back in 2024, so I’m confident I can hit the ground running in pre-season testing.
“Revie’s racing education in the Ginetta Juniors will serve him well and he’s been impressive in the McLaren in testing so far, so I think we make for a strong driver pairing.
“A huge thank you to my sponsors Transend UK, YorPower and Trigpoint for their support this year and allowing me to keep working towards my goals.
“I am confident that I have the ability to be one of the leading drivers on the GT4 grid this season and I’m excited to get out there and prove it.”
The 2026 GT4 calendar will comprise eight races, running from one to three hours in length, across six events.
Angliss has commercial opportunities available for prospective partners to join him for his British GT programme this year.
