Fantastic time at our last GBS Track Day of the year at at Blyton Park....

Our new Zero race car and Mazda demonstrator enjoyed being out on the track at Blyton park last Saturday (5th October) for what was our last GBS Track Day of the year. We were joined with other Zero owners and customers who enjoyed some passenger laps. The weather was perfect, as always the Yokohama AO52 tyres were offering crazy grip and we’re lapping and gapping other cars that were also out on circuit. We would like to thank everyone who joined us and hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We are already looking forward to next years GBS Track Days and are planning on trying to squeeze a few more in.

The Zero is ideal for both the road and track, click here to explore more options about the Zeros. We are hoping to get a few more GBS Track day dates in later this year so hopefully you will be able to join us again. More photographs can be seen on our GBS Facebook and Instagram pages and a short video has been shared on our YouTube channel.

Fantastic Drive out in the Cars at the weekend.....

Last Saturday (14th September), we had a fantastic drive out in the Zeros, and we were also joined by other sports cars for a scenic and fun-filled day. We were joined by 14 cars in total who all met at the GBS for tea/coffee and biscuits before heading out on a 50/60-mile route through beautiful villages and country roads. The weather couldn’t have been better for us and our planned journey ended in an idyllic countryside spot, where we enjoyed food, drinks, and great company in a pub garden before all going our separate ways.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the day so enjoyable! We're already looking forward to organizing more drive outs next year.

We are extremely proud to have raised money for the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance charity...

We are extremely proud to have raised a fantastic £1,852.29 for the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance charity. A big thank you to all the generous donations we receive at our Cars & Coffee events and other events we host. We were delighted to be invited to the LNAA HQ yesterday to meet the team and see what happens behind the scenes as well as present some of the amazing team with a cheque yesterday for the money that we have raised so far. The helicopter was out on a mission when we visited but we saw the Critical Care Cars which are just as amazing equipped with the latest medical technology, and we got to see what is involved in the service that they offer which is truly amazing.
The money raised helps buy vital equipment that allows the crew to take critical A&E care to injured people and save lives. The Air Ambulance is called out 4-5 times a day on average, often dealing with traumatic scenes. We are in awe of the amazing work that they do saving lives every day – Which is all funded by donations. Click here to see more about Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance charity.

We are also pleased to collect for the Cancer Research UK Charity at our events too. We all feel and hope you agree that The Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance is a fantastic service and has helped & will continue to help many people, as well as the Cancer Research UK that is again a fantastic charity that makes a big difference to so many people and their families. We look forward to raising more money from future events for these fantastic charities, visit our event page to see more details about our events. (The next GBS Cars & Coffee event will be announced soon).

Thank you for your generous donations….

Full day of GBS Factory Tours.... More dates will be released soon.

Full Factory Tour of GBS….

Last month we hosted another GBS Factory Tour event where we welcomed guests over 3 booked timed slots. We are pleased to offer this opportunity for a privileged insight into everything that goes into creating the GBS Zero and associated products that we manufacture.
If you are thinking of buying a GBS Zero, have one already or if you are into your motorsport and engineering and would love to see what we do then this is the event for you.
The tour was led by Richard the Director of Great British Sports Cars and the team, which included a Tour of the GBS Workshop, Parts Department, Engineering and Assembly Area, Fabrication, Composites and more. The numbers per tour are limited to give a more personal experience. The next Factory tour dates will be later in the year and announced very soon so keep checking our event page for updates and head to our GBS YouTube Channel where you will see a short video of our factory tour experience.

If you wish to enquire about a larger group, car club, students, bespoke corporate or private individual booking, please contact us with your requirements and we will get back to you.

We welcomed the Drake Family to the morning tour, who currently have their very own Zero Self build kit on order, so they will be back very soon to collect it, below are a few words of their experience of the tour….

Drake Family / GBS Factory Tour on 29 June 2024
We were delighted to have the chance to attend the GBS Factory Tour in June, firstly after placing the recent kit order with GBS, it was a fantastic opportunity to see where the chassis was going to be built, but secondly it was brilliant just getting to see the insides of a small volume sportscar manufacturer and all the fascinating detail that goes into so many parts of the car and their small scale manufacturing processes. 
In fact, the tour started with an interesting bit of background into the company and Richard’s journey to GBS ownership, and its certainly moved forward great strides compared to those Robin Hood days.  We really enjoyed understanding the other areas of specialist engineering that GBS get involved with too, outside of the car builds. 

As we progressed round the tour, Richard was then able to describe many of the manufacturing techniques employed across their business, highlighting how and why they are important to the overall outcome and make-up of the GBS Zero.  This included answering the many questions we had which was really nice to have that chance for general Q&A as we went round. In fact, the number of people on the tour are kept to small groups, and that gave us chance to ask specific questions to our build too (Richard does ensure a great customer experience, remembering and pointing out specific detail of my chosen build spec!).

Outside of the tour and more related to the overall experience, we really appreciated the attention and courtesy given to us by the whole GBS team, we always felt welcomed and the route through the factory was well choreographed, flowing from one area to another and keeping the interest of ‘what’s next?’.
We all thoroughly enjoyed this experience and as you might imagine, it gave us even more confidence in the choice to go with GBS. We’re really looking forward to receiving the chassis now and getting into our build.
Richard, Jonathan and Ron Drake.

Fun on the track at Donington Park for our GBS Track Day....

Our new Zero race car enjoyed being out on the track at Donnington park earlier this week for our GBS Track Day. On Wednesday (26th June) was our second GBS Track Day of the year, where we were joined with other Zero owners and customers who enjoyed some passenger laps. The weather was perfect, the Yokohama AO52 tyres were offering crazy grip and we’re lapping and gapping some truly great cars that we also out on circuit. We would like to thank everyone who joined us and hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

The Zero is ideal for both the road and track, click here to explore more options about the Zeros. We are hoping to get a few more GBS Track day dates in later this year so hopefully you will be able to join us again. More photographs can be seen on our GBS Facebook and Instagram pages and a video has been shared on our YouTube channel soon.

The GBS and Kit Spares show room was very busy with people and the Kit Spares   was also very busy with sales and enquires. As always the cakes attracted a lot of attention and certainly went down well with not many left along with the unlimited supply of tea and coffee. 

Another great thing about our GBS Cars & Coffee events that we love, is that we are able to raise money for our 2 chosen charities which are the Cancer Research UK and The Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, we all feel and hope you agree that The Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance is a fantastic service and has helped & will continue to help many people, as well as the Cancer Research UK that is again a fantastic charity that makes a big difference to so many people and their families.

Review from Mr & Mrs Hartley / GBS Factory Tour on 03/02/24:
We were one of the very first to go on the tour.  And what a treat it was too!  This is a bit different to the normal corporate factory tours we’ve done before.  This felt much more authentic and honest.  Not rehearsed nor delivered by a member of staff.  We were taken around by Richard , the director.  So we got to hear first hand how the business started and how the business has grown.  The tour itself was fascinating as you moved around the premises from room to room (which is like a Tardis!) GBS is a really small team, but that’s what makes this whole business so unique and so incredibly special.  When you see the finished masterpieces created here you will be yearning to buy one.  Anyone who wants a Caterham will think again after visiting.  The tour brings the whole production to life and Richard’s passion for what he believes in and ultimately what him and his team creates will leave you feeling you have to buy a car!  Highly recommend this tour for its individuality and Britishness!
