Abba Racing will return to the British GT Championship this season, moving up to the Pro-Am class with their familiar GT3 driver line-up of Richard and Sam Neary.

The father and son partnership return for their sixth season together in 2025, making the step up from the British GT’s Silver-Am class following Sam’s FIA re-grading over the winter from a silver to a gold driver.

The team has ran in the championship with a Mercedes-AMG GT3 since 2020 and will do so once again this year, albeit with an updated livery. The recognisable black and green livery from previous seasons will be updated with a ‘gold sparkle’, with the updated design set to be revealed during testing in late February.

The Nearys finished as runners-up in the Silver-Am class last year, finishing eighth in the overall standings and will be hoping for further strong results in the top-class of British GT.

Richard Neary said: “Silver-Am gave us regular class podium opportunities but we’ve always had loftier ambitions than that. “I think it’s remarkable that a small, family-run team can have the sort of success that we’ve enjoyed at this level. Our aim has always been to fight with the bigger, multi-car teams and that won’t change this year now we’re in Pro-Am.”

Sam Neary added: “To be absolutely clear, the gold sparkle isn’t a reflection of my new FIA grading! We weren’t at our best in 2022 and ’23 so it was nice to remind a few people of what we could do last year. As a combination, we undoubtedly have the potential to challenge the factory-supported crews, and that’s something we’re hoping to do on a more consistent basis this year. Top five in the final championship standings would represent a massive achievement.”
