The Xtream Rock Island Grand Prix, the karting street race that national driver Race Liberante once called “the baddest-ass go-kart race in the world,” once again put on quite a show. This year, the largest crowd since pre-Covid years lined the course and was treated to some great action by some of the nation’s top drivers. Heavy rain late Saturday forced 3 heat races to be moved to Sunday morning, but the rest of the program was right on schedule.

Fortec’s Nikolas Taylor extended his GB4 Championship lead with a supreme performance on the Brands Hatch GP circuit, with a win and a second place on Sunday. Jack Sherwood claimed his second victory of the season in race three, leading every lap despite starting fourth on the grid. Taylor’s results meanwhile mean he now has a 31-point championship lead over Max Marzorati, having been level on points at the start of the day following his retirement in race one.

Tom Lebbon and Branden Oxley were the winners on Sunday at Brands Hatch, with two enthralling contests on the mighty Grand Prix circuit. In the championship race, two positive results for Hitech GP’s Luke Browning and a difficult final race for Joel Granfors means the British driver holds an extended 15.5 point championship lead heading to the final weekend at Donington Park. 

The Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine ends its eighth round of the season at Red Bull Ring with Hadrien David‘s victory in Race 2. The young driver of the R-ace GP team drove a perfect race after starting from pole, and kept the lead from start to finish.

Matthew Rees claimed the first GB3 win for both himself and the JHR Developments team, with a supreme performance on the Brands Hatch GP circuit this afternoon (Saturday). The reigning British F4 champion started from pole position and led every lap as he headed home championship contenders Luke Browning and Joel Granfors, with just 6.5 points separating the pair heading into the final five races of the season.
