British GT is one of the UK’s most exhilarating car racing series, with race-prepared supercars battling in races lasting at least an hour. With multiple classes, plenty of pit stops, along with driver changes, the British GT is one of the most intense and thrilling championships in the UK.

The British GT Championship features a mix of GT3 and GT4 cars, with professional and amateur drivers competing in multi-class racing. Cars from manufacturers such as Aston Martin, McLaren, BMW and others.

GB3 is the UK's leading single-seater championship and a proving ground for youngsters aiming to make an impression en-route to F1 stardom. Past graduates of the championship include British Grand Prix superstars Lando Norris and George Russell.

In August 2021 the series was renamed as GB3 Championship (formerly British F3). Shortly after the re-brand, the series announced a new car would be used for 2022, the Tatuus MSV-022, with performance and safety upgrades including the addition of the halo. The new car has proven to be around two to three seconds a lap quicker than its predecessor.

The GB4 Championship is an entry-level junior single-seater category that acts as a direct feeder to the GB3 Championship. GB4 has been created to offer drivers graduating from karting or club racing a significantly lower cost route onto the single-seater ladder.

The GB4 Championship uses the Tatuus F4-T014 car previously used by the Italian, ADAC, Spanish and other F4 championships across Europe.

The Protyre Motorsport Ginetta GT Championship is a UK-based racing series featuring Ginetta sports cars. The championship is part of the British GT package and serves as a stepping stone for drivers aspiring to climb the Motorsport ladder.

Ginetta is a British manufacturer of racing cars, and the GT Championship provides a platform for amateur and aspiring professional drivers to compete in a variety of Ginetta models.

A series for young chargers aged 14 to 17 to hone their driving style. Former competitors have graduated to GT racing, GB3 and other Motorsport series.

The Michelin Ginetta Junior Championship is a British racing series that features young drivers competing in Ginetta cars. The championship serves as a stepping stone for young talent in Motorsports, providing them with a platform to develop their skills and progress through the ranks and make a name for themselves in the GT paddock.

The Ginetta GT Academy is a unique racing series, providing the driver a high performance, yet safe and reliable race car to enjoy entry level GT racing.

Drivers race on some of the best circuits in the UK, competing against identical cars on the grid in rookie and experienced classes.

Only launched in 2021, the GT Academy Championship has gone from strength to strength, offering some of the UK’s best entry level racing opportunities.

Here at The Photographic Adventure Company we are a luxury brand, running luxury photography tours and workshops. We don’t do things as cheap as possible, cut corners or give you the bare basics. Whilst we appreciate this isn’t for everyone, we hope you will see the benefits of what we offer. If you have an interest in photography but want the luxury experience at the same time, perhaps we have a tour or workshop for you!

We believe that our tours and workshops are not like others on the market. So, how are we different?

The price you see includes everything you will need for the duration of the tour or workshop. This ranges from your private, double hotel bedroom, to meals and transport during the tour or workshop. There are no hidden costs with us. Any cost involved with the participation in the tour or workshop is covered by us.

On all of our tours and workshops, we stay in 4* or higher hotels where possible, often with extra facilities such as spa, health club, restaurants and bar all on site. All the hotels that we use have exceptionally high standards that align with our own. We don’t book you into just the nearest budget hotel - we make sure you are staying somewhere memorable.

On some of our flagship Motorsport photography workshops we include aspects such as VIP hospitality at the race circuit.

We believe we offer an exceptional level of customer service before, during and after any tour or workshop. We are always available and here to help no matter the issue. We are always fair, honest and genuine and we pride ourselves on our business etiquette and extremely high level of customer service.

We work with some incredible photographers from award winning to up-and-coming. We are proud to support a number of fantastic photographers and we believe each and every one of them brings something unique.

We have a fantastic relationship with a number of major photography brands and manufacturers. All our guests will receive access to and discounts on a variety of equipment.

Finally, as a registered Tour Operator, we ensure that we have the right level of consumer protection in place, in line with travel industry regulations. Surprisingly, the vast majority of photography workshops and tours on the market do not, leaving you potentially out of pocket or even stranded abroad should anything happen to that business before the event can take place.
