Barwell Motorsport has confirmed the return of Rob Collard and Hugo Cook for the 2026 British GT Championship, as the pair aim for glory in their Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2.
After first joining forces last season, two-time British GT champion Collard will reunite with Cook aboard the #63 Barwell Lamborghini, as the team expands to a three-car programme for the upcoming campaign.
2026 will, however, mark the first full season together for Collard and Cook, with the former missing the opening round of 2025 due to a medical procedure. The pair went on to impress together, though, throughout the year, taking a win at Oulton Park as well as four further podiums together.
Collard will be hoping to add a third British GT title on top of his 2020 and 2024 titles, all earned at the wheel of a Barwell Motorsport-run Lamborghini Huracan GT3. With 2026 marking the final year of competition for the Huracan, a successful title charge would be the perfect way to send off one of the championship’s most successful machines.
Rob Collard said: “I can’t wait to get back on track this year, get back with Barwell and get to work with Hugo again. The delayed start to last year put me seriously on the back foot, having no pre-season at all and missing the first round, so I went in cold – but despite that we still enjoyed a really strong year. Hugo still managed to finish second in the championship, and if I hadn’t have missed the season opener, who knows... perhaps we could have gone one better together. Ifs and buts, but we know we have a great opportunity this year.”
Hugo Cook added: “I’m really excited to be back in British GT this season, and to be sharing with Rob again. I think the best decision I’ve made in my career was joining Barwell last season because the team certainly helped bring the best out of me in both our British and European programmes. I learned a huge amount across last year, from working with Rob and going up against pro drivers like Sandy [Mitchell] and Patrick [Kujala] and that really helped me improve as a driver.”
