Balfe, who finished third alongside Rob Bell in 2019 despite his Balfe Motorsport outfit missing the opening round at Oulton Park due to teething problems with its new McLaren 720S GT3, returned to the series last year after sitting out 2020 and focusing on International GT Open the following season.
He and team-mate Adam Carroll won the opening round of the season at Oulton Park in an Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II, but they departed the championship after a puncture caused a non-score in the three-hour race Silverstone and the duo finished a disappointing eighth at Donington.
