British GT: Cameron and Griffin move to Barwell Motorsport in shocking split from Ferrari for 2026

Duncan Cameron and Matt Griffin have announced they will be moving to Barwell Motorsport leaving Ferrari and Spirit of Race.

The Pro-Am pairing raced in all but two rounds of last seasons British GT Season under the Spirit of Race banner with the Scuderia for the majority of their GT careers both nationally and internationally. Both drivers have driven the Ferrari 430, 458, 488 and 296 since 2009 and have never been teammates in any other manufacturer. The pair will join one of three Barwell Motorsport Lamborghini Huracan GT3 entries in the final year before the team moves to the Temerario in 2027. The pairing of Cameron and Griffin last season scored points in all but one race they competed in to finish 13th overall in the standings.

With the announcement of the sudden change to Barwell and Lamborghini for 2026, Duncan Cameron said: “I was very keen to get back to British GT for this year as my son, Henry, will be competing in Ginetta Junior on the same package. Eventually we’d love to race together in GTs, so it makes sense for us both to be competing on the same weekends. When we looked at options for this year it made sense to switch, and when the chance to join Barwell Motorsport came up, it was a no-brainer. I’ve yet to experience the Lamborghini Huracan but across the years it’s been a very competitive package at pretty much every track. I know with the support of Matt and the Barwell team I’ll learn quickly and I’m looking forward to a really competitive year ahead.”

After signing, Matt Griffin said: “We felt the time was right to make a change for this season in British GT, and when you go looking for a top team you don’t have to search much further than Barwell Motorsport. You only have to look at their record in British GT to know they’re one of, if not the most successful team in the championship’s history, so it should be the perfect environment for Duncan and I. While we’ll still be competing in Europe with Ferrari, I’m hugely excited to get to grips with the Lamborghini. Both cars are mid-engined, so the dynamics shouldn’t be too different, and I’m looking forward to racing with a naturally aspirated engine again, which I’ve always felt was a strength for me. You don’t have to worry about keeping turbos spooling or dropping out of torque bands, it’s a pure driving experience with that wonderful V10. We’ve got several tests booked pre-season to help us adapt, and being part of a three-car team with open data sharing should also be a great help. I can’t wait to get going, and I’d also like to say thanks to AF Corse for allowing me to be a part of this programme in British GT.”
