Carroll, whose last British GT appearance came in 2016 when he was third at Silverstone in a Ferrari entered by FF Corse and Fox Motorsport, raced the Audi alongside Balfe in last year’s International GT Open series that uses Michelin tyres.

The car will run on Pirellis in British GT, a series Balfe last contested as a driver in 2019 when he and Rob Bell finished five points shy of the title despite missing the Oulton double-header due to teething problems with their new McLaren 720S GT3.

Autosport understands that Balfe – who had previously sold his 720S to Enduro Motorsport – has also put the team’s GT4 McLaren 570S that won at Spa last year up for sale.
