Silverstone-based 2 Seas Motorsport is building on the foundations of a strong 2025 as it prepares to continue that momentum into the 2026 season. As part of a revised team structure, new faces will be working to support and deliver a dual campaign across the British GT and GT World Challenge Europe championships. With five cars across two full programmes, the senior management team has been strengthened with two key appointments. Paul Willett joins as Team Manager, supported by Oscar Cooke in the role of Assistant Team Manager.

The pair bring a wealth of experience across sportscars, endurance racing and wider top-tier motorsport. Paul joins having held Team Manager roles across both Formula E and sportscar championships, successfully leading multiple car crews. During this time, he has helped secure the Asian Le Mans title and overall victory in the LMP2 category at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He has now assumed the Team Manager role across simultaneous British and European programmes.

Oscar has built an impressive and varied career across team and driver management and coordination at the highest levels of endurance racing. With his most recent experience the Hypercar category, he has spent the past decade working across the World Endurance Championship. He has developed a breadth of expertise domestically and internally, spanning trackside operations, sponsor and partnership management, logistics and human performance.

2 Seas Motorsport delivered its best-ever results last season, claiming the British GT Drivers' and Teams' titles, securing overall Gold Cup honours in GT World Challenge Europe, and taking victories in the Asian Le Mans Series and the GT World Challenge Europe Bronze Cup. The new season builds on this impressive platform, with British GT champions Charles Dawson and Kiern Jewiss stepping up to a full European campaign alongside the team's operation of the Mercedes-AMG Team Verstappen Racing entry across both the GT World Challenge Sprint and Endurance calendars.

Having opened the season with strong results on both sides of the garage at Paul Ricard earlier this month, the team now returns to the track this weekend as the 2026 British GT championship gets underway at Silverstone. The Silverstone 500 sees reigning champions Charles and Kiern head up the team's full-season domestic programme, as 2 Seas looks to pick up where it left off and continue its winning ways.

"It is fantastic to have joined 2 Seas Motorsport and to be part of such an exciting set-up, one that has already firmly established itself as a front runner. The team operates at the highest level both on and off track, and sets the benchmark in terms of presentation across every aspect - the cars, the team, the garages, the trucks - everything is executed to the highest possible standard. In recent years they have shown they can compete and win at the very top level, and for Oscar and I, along with the other new faces joining the team this season, that is a high bar to meet. There is an exciting programme in place for 2026, running multiple cars across several highly competitive championships with no margin for error – but that is where we thrive. We had a strong season opener at the GT World Challenge Europe event at Paul Ricard and will look to build on that momentum this weekend at Silverstone."
