The Ginetta GT4 Supercup is a one-make racing, Sports car racing series based in the United Kingdom, using identical G55 sports cars.
The championship currently supports the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC).
The championship began as the Ginetta G50 Cup in 2008, supporting the British Formula Three Championship and British GT Championship. In 2009 it moved to support the BTCC.
In 2011, with the introduction of the Ginetta G55, the championship became the Ginetta GT Supercup, running a multi class format for the two different cars.
For the 2014 season, the championship was rebranded as the Ginetta GT4 Supercup, with both the G50 and G55 cars running in a single, performance balanced class.
The championship aims to keep running costs to a minimum by using control tyres, control fuel and low maintenance costs through clever design.
The car and its championship is designed to bridge the gap between single-make sports car racing such as the current Ginetta Challenge championship and GT cars such as the new GT4 Championship, GT3 and GT2 racing.
The regulations include sealed engines, gearboxes and differentials. This prevents expensive development of the cars and ensures that all of the cars are identical, helping to provide close racing.
The car can be easily modified to race in other series such as British GT, Britcar, Spanish GT Championship and Belcar
