VARIED PLACE, THE EVO FAST FLEET. Coupe, roadster, estate, supercar, SUV; and a neat Panda 100HP and near300,000-mile Lamborghini pop into its pages from time to time, too. What it's been missing is a racing car. Until now. This is the Ginetta G56 GTA, and this summer, it's ours.
GTA stands for GT Academy, and it represents one of the first rungs on the Ginetta racing ladder. The Leeds-based road and, predominantly, race car manufacturer has become one of the pillars of British motorsport since the brand came under the control of Lawrence Tomlinson in 2005. The Ginetta Junior championship is now established as one of the must-drive routeways for stars of the future, with alumni including Lando Norris and Jamie Chadwick, and in adult motorsport the company's G50 model (and G55 evolution) has become one of the most successful GT4 racing cars in history.
That's now evolved into this latest car, the G56. And the GT Academy is Ginetta's recently introduced one-make series aimed at both novice and intermediate adult drivers. There are two classes: the GTA class for drivers with race experience, and the Rookie class for drivers new to motorsport.
We'll be taking part in two rounds of the 2023 championship, and I'll be sharing the car at different stages with evo staff writer Yousuf Ashraf. I've been lucky to race occasionally over the last few years, while Yousuf has plenty of kart and sim racing experience but will be competing in a car for the first time, so between us we fit the GTA and Rookie class profiles neatly.
