He was sharing a car with Barrie Baxter, not scoring wins or podiums to finish 8th in GT4 classification.

Losing the championship on the penultimate lap of the last race

In 2019, Cammish stayed in the #27 Honda. He was among the front-runners for the entire season, recording fourteen podiums, the most of all drivers, including two victories at Thruxton and Brands Hatch.

He entered the last race of the season as the championship leader but the unfortunate crash on the penultimate lap ruined his championship-winning dream. In the end, he is sharing the second place in the championship with Andrew Jordan, collecting just two points less than champion Colin Turkington.
