Freddie Slater, one of the UK’s most highly rated and hotly tipped racing drivers for a potential future in Formula One, will contest selected rounds of the GB3 Championship this year with Hillspeed.

British-born racer Aditya Kulkarni has signed with front-running GB3 Championship team Hillspeed for the 2024 season, which begins at Oulton Park in Cheshire this weekend (30 March/1 April).

Hillspeed’s Daniel Mavlyutov claimed his fourth victory of the season in a safety car affected third race of the weekend at Zandvoort.

The GB3 Championship heads to Zandvoort for the first time later this season (14-15 October), and a number of this year’s contenders took advantage of the break between the Oulton Park season opener and the Silverstone rounds at the start of May, to sample the Dutch Grand Prix venue for the first time in testing this week.

Hillspeed has confirmed a fresh driver line-up for its 2023 GB3 Championship campaign, with Chinese F4 champion Gerrard Xie and British F4 graduate Daniel Mavlyutov.
