Betty Chen Set For BMW M4 GT3 Seat With Century

The new-for-2022 BMW M4 GT3 will make its Intelligent Money British GT Championship debut this season in the hands of Betty Chen and Century Motorsport.

Century’s GT3 return has been hotly anticipated since it revealed plans to enter the brand-new M4 GT3 late last season, the team is set to be the first British customer team for BMW’s latest GT3 machine after being the only British GT Championship entrant for its predecessor, the M6 GT3 some seasons ago.

Now the multiple GT4 title-winning squad can confirm that Chen, the first Taiwanese driver to race in the series, will form the Am element of its line-up.

Chen is no stranger to BMWs: she raced the M6 GT3 in 2019’s China GT Championship with Team AAI alongside, coincidentally, former British GT champion Jody Fannin.

However, with Covid-19 subsequently restricting her opportunities to compete in Asia, the 22-year-old has instead looked further afield, first to this year’s 24 Hours of Dubai aboard a Leipert Motorsport Lamborghini Huracan GT3.

She is now adding the British GT Championship and a full season with Century.

“I started my career in 2018 with some GT3 racing in Asia but knew the grassroots of motorsport had always been in the United Kingdom,” she said.

“So it is a privilege to have the chance to join Century Motorsport in the 2022 British GT Championship and further establish my CV outside of Asia.”

Her co-driver will be revealed next week with this year’s full-season entry list set to be revealed on Thursday.
