GT Cup Results - Silverstone

The entry promised a 40 plus grid for Silverstone's opening weekend of the Bute Motorsport GT Cup Championship and that's what was delivered - 42 took the start of the first race of a double-header weekend with plenty of new blood joining the 2009 regulars.

Much more from the weekend in the coming days but for now here are the full results of both races, the first curtailed after a red flag just after the mid way point.
