British GT: MKH confirm 2026 lineup with Aston Martin GT4 Entry

MKH Racing has confirmed their drivers for the 2026 British GT Season with Jessica Hawkins and Will Orton partnering.

After completing an Endurance Cup in the Silver Class last season, Orton returns with MKH for 2026 partnered by Hawkins in a full-time campaign for 2026. The pair look to be amongst the favourites for the 2026 GT4 title as Orton has raced the Aston Martin Vantage GT4 in both British GT and the GT4 European Series in the last couple of years. 2024 saw him drive alongside Marc Warren to take fourth in the overall standings and second in the Pro-Am standings. Meanwhile, Hawkins drove the GT3 Aston Martin in 2024 before moving into the GT World Challenge Europe series last year. She has also become a part of the Aston Marrtin Aramco Formula One Team in the Driver Ambassador role for the team. Both drivers have experience in the series and with Aston Martin which favours them heading into 2026.

With the announcement, Will Orton said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be returning to the British GT Championship in 2026 with MKH Racing, partnering with Jessica Hawkins in the Silver category. Having competed in the Aston Martin during its inaugural season in 2024, I’m excited to be back behind the wheel and building on that experience. After speaking with the team at MKH Racing, it was clear this programme was the perfect fit. Their ambition and professionalism align perfectly with both Jessica’s and my goals for the season ahead, and I’m confident we have all the ingredients to mount a strong campaign. None of this would be possible without the continued support of my incredible partners and everyone at MKH Racing, and I’m hugely grateful for the opportunity. Testing begins soon, and I can’t wait to get started and see what we can achieve together.”

Jessica Hawkins added: “I can’t wait to get started in British GT, it’s going to be great to be back in the paddock. I’m very excited to be teaming up with MKH Racing and Will Orton – I think together we will be a very strong combination. Of course, our aim is to fight for the championship, and I think we have a strong package to do that. Thank you so much to my partners, Arm and ELEMIS, for their continuous support, as well as the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team. Will and I are very keen to push hard for a solid, consistent season.”
