BMW works driver Harper to defend British GT title after late change at Century
Harper and Darren Leung won races at Silverstone and Brands Hatch on their way to winning the title in 2023, and they will continue their partnership in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup with Century team. However, Harper will replace Chris Salkeld in the British GT seat originally meant for him, teaming up with Michael Johnston in an M4 GT3 instead. Carl Cavers and Lewis Plato will drive Century’s second GT3 entry in Silver-Am. The British GT championship is set to kick off this weekend at Oulton Park with a double-header event. Harper’s unexpected addition to the British GT grid brings the total of six former champions in the 19-car GT3 field. Additionally, Century team will also compete in the GTWCE Endurance Cup with Leung, Formula E champion Jake Dennis, and Toby Sowery joining the team.
