Branden Templeton, a rising star in British motorsport, is poised to make a significant impact on the GT racing scene in 2025. Hailing from Caterham, Surrey, the 18-year-old is set to embark on his British GT Championship debut with Century Motorsport, partnering with the experienced Chris Salkeld in the iconic "Harriott's Chariot" BMW M4 GT4.
