British GT: Jarrod Waberski and Alex Martin complete Barwell Motorsport lineup for 2026

Barwell Motorsport have announced that their third car lineup will consist of Jarrod Waberski and Alex Martin ahead of the 2026 British GT Season.

The pair will race as in the Silver-Am class for GT3 as they will race the Lamborghini Huracan in its final season of racing before the switch to the Termerario in 2027. The newcomer, Waberski, took a class podium at the 24 Hours of Spa last year among a very successful 2025 campaign. He also took the Silver Championship in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup in his first GT3 Campaign. Meanwhile, Martin was the runner-up in 2024 in British GT and took fourth in the standings in 2025 alongside former British GT Champion Sandy Mitchell.

With the announcement, Jarrod Waberski said: “I’m delighted to be joining Barwell and Alex for this year and making my British GT debut. Last year was my first in GT racing and it was a steep learning curve, but it was an amazing season with some incredible success. The BMW took a lot of adapting to after racing single-seaters, and I had to alter my driving technique quite a lot to suit it. After one test in the Lamborghini, I felt right at home. Being mid-engined it feels that bit more natural to drive with the engine behind you and the dynamics and weight transfer were quite familiar.

“Obviously, following Sandy I’ve got some big boots to fill, but I’m absolutely confident I can get into the mix. Success in British GT is so often determined by the performance of the amateur driver, and Alex has proven himself as one of the top drivers in the championship. With him and Barwell behind me the aim has to be to fight for both the Silver-Am title, and the overall GT3 crown.”

Alex Martin added: “I’m really excited about this year, and to be working with Jarrod. Everybody who’s been around him says he’s a great guy and super quick. I believe you can always keep improving, and I hope to learn some new things from him this season, same as I did with Sandy, who taught me so much. Vice versa, this will be my third season in the Lamborghini and I love delving into the technical and setup side of the racing, so perhaps I can teach Jarrod some things too.

“British GT for me feels like major unfinished business. We came so close to the title in 2024 and had the package to win it last season but some bad luck that went against us. I have no doubt the Huracan GT3 is still a winning package, especially in mixed conditions or the wet where so few cars come close. While race pace has usually always been strong with me, I’m keen to improve on my qualifying performances this season. I’m also really looking forward to going up against Rob [Collard] in the sister car again. He’s a good friend and a great driver, so we always have a good level of competition between us.

“Although we’re in Silver-Am, the outright title is still always the aim. We’ve seen Silver-Am crews in the overall fight before, and if we can put together a consistent campaign and stay clear of trouble, hopefully we can be right in the fight come the end of the year.”
