Highly rated German teenager Maxim Rehm has been officially confirmed as Hillspeed’s second driver for the GB3 Championship season finale at Monza in Italy.

The 18-year-old, from Baden-Wurttemberg, has signed with the Markham Vale team to partner GB3 race winner Lucas Fluxa for rounds 22, 23 and 24 of the campaign at the ultra-fast ‘Temple of Speed,’ which will take place on 18/19 October.

Rehm, winner of five championships in his formative karting career, debuted in single-seater car racing last year in the Italian Formula 4 Championship, with additional outings in the Euro 4 Championship and also the Formula Winter Series. 

Taking a rookie class podium on his F4 debut in the Formula Winter Series at Jerez in Spain in February 2024, one week later at Valencia the young German achieved his first Rookie class race victory with a fantastic performance.

Rehm went on to claim his maiden outright podium in the Italian F4 Championship at Imola on his way to taking 13th overall in the standings. In the dovetailed Euro 4 Championship, he was sixth in the title battle and took his first outright race win in cars in the final race of the campaign – at Monza. 

This year, Rehm again contested the Formula Winter Series, taking a victory at Valencia en-route to fifth in the standings. In his second season of Italian F4, Rehm achieved a best finish of fourth place and is now preparing for his eagerly awaited GB3 bow with this year’s multiple race winners, Hillspeed.

Maxim Rehm: “I’m really happy to be racing with Hillspeed for the Monza weekend. It’s always been a successful track for me, and I’m fully focused on making the most of this opportunity. Big thanks to Richard and the whole team for making it happen – I can’t wait to get back behind the wheel and give it everything.”

Richard Ollerenshaw, Hillspeed Team Principal: “We’re very pleased to officially confirm Maxim as part of our driver line-up for the GB3 season finale at Monza. He’s a talented young driver with good experience in F4 in Europe. While the step-up to GB3 does mark a big new challenge for him, we’re confident Maxim has the ability to hit the ground running and deliver a strong showing on his first weekend with Hillspeed.”
