Multiple karting champion Daniel Guinchard is set to kickstart his single-seater car racing career with Hillspeed next year after being announced as the Derbyshire team’s first driver signing for the 2025 GB4 Championship.

Sports car racer Lexie Belk will make her single-seater debut in the GB4 Championship at the Donington Park season finale on 21/22 October, after confirming plans to join the series as a private entrant.  The 16-year-old from Doncaster is a podium finisher in the GT5 Pro category of this year’s Ginetta GT Championship, having taken two third place finishes from 14 races in 2023, with both coming at Donington Park in May. 

Fortec Motorsport has confirmed that Aditya Kulkarni will graduate to the GB4 Championship with the title-winning team for the 2023 season, which starts at Oulton Park this weekend (8-10 April).

The Wera Tools Rotax British Open Kart Championships [17-19 March] is all set to be one of the largest `O plate` meetings in decades, as over 220 entries will head for Whilton Mill for the prestigious event.

The British team of SFR Motorsport took their second podium in as many races at the opening round of the BNL Karting Series last weekend. Daniel Guinchard claimed an excellent third place overall in the Junior Rotax class at the Karting Genk circuit in Belgium, where he finished runner-up at the 2019 BNL Kick-off event last month.
