International Sportscar driver Owen Mildenhall is considering a return to the British racing in the shape of the British GT Championship in 2002.
The Kent based driver is looking at options to contest a Porsche GT3RS, and is open to offers. "I'm really up for a challenge, and I have watched the British GT series and I believe it is a great proving ground for up-and-coming drivers to makes a name for themselves".
He continued "I would love to race a Porsche. The cars are so well built and very reiable. I would like to take on the TVR Speed 6's and add the GTO crown to my name".
The 1997 Slick 50 Formula Ford Champion recently contested a Pilbeam MP84B-Nissan in the FIA Sportscar Championship with Redman Bright, and Schroder Motorsport. "I don't want to turn my back on Sportscars because I feel they have such a lot to offer, but the options are quite limited. I think that driving a car like a Porsche GT3 competetively would re-establish my name in Britain".
He added "I have a couple of tests in the pipeline and my aim is to secure a deal in January. Of course I would like to race at the Daytona 24 hours, but my priority is to concentrate on the coming British season".
