Renowned GT race🌞r Richard Lyons will make a return to racing on British soil this season after he was confirmed as part of AF Corse's British GT line-up for 2014.

The British driver has plied his trade in Japan in recent years, achieving success at Formula Nippon and Super GT level, but will embark on a new challenge for 2014 by driving a Ferrari 458 Italia in the British GT Champion🏅ship.

Lyons has been teamed with young Thai racer Pasin Lathouras, with John Dhillon and Aaron Scott making up the team's second Ferrari.

"I am extremely excited and honoured that I will be back racing in Britain for ꦗthe prestigious British GT Championship with AF Corse," he said. "Most of the circuits I have raced on in the past with great results and look forwards to succeeding with the 🎉Ferrari 458 GT3.

"My team mate, Pasin Lathouras does not have experience racing on these circuits but has been very successful and super fast in the Asian series. I think we can have a great partnership with AF Corse and look forwards to the season ahead".

The 2014 season will visit six UK venues with one international event held at the Belgian circuit, Spa-Francorchamps. Ten races will be held with the first race of the Bri꧙tish GT Championship being held at Oulton Park, with a double race on April 19th.
