Australian youngster Dante Vinci has been confirmed as Hillspeed’s first driver signing for the 2026 GB3 Championship, following a highly promising winter testing programme with the squad across the UK and Europe. The 17-year-old makes the step up into GB3 after his first full season in cars this year in the Italian F4 Championship and Euro F4 Championships.

Kean Nakamura-Berta delivered a perfect weekend in the final round of the E4 Championship. Already leading the standings ahead of the round, the Japanese-Slovakian Prema Racing driver left no room for rivals, claiming three wins out of three races over the weekend. The E4 Championship title was only decided at the final checkered flag, thanks to main rival Gabriel Gomez (US Racing), who fought hard to keep the contest alive until the very end. Nakamura-Berta finished the season with 181 points, including four wins, three second places, one third, and one fourth. Celebrating with him were the Vicenza-based team, who had already secured the team title after Race 2, and teammate Oleksandr Bondarev, who also won the Rookie class after Race 2. In Race 3, the women’s title was also decided, with Emily Cotty (R-ace GP) overtaking Ginevra Panzeri (AKM Motorsport) at the very end to claim the championship by a single point in a closely contested battle.

A spectacular start to the final weekend of the 2025 E4 Championship unfolded at Monza, with Race 1 delivering plenty of drama and several safety car interventions. Kean Nakamura-Berta (Prema Racing) claimed victory, extending his championship lead at the end of a fiercely fought race that remained undecided until the very last meters.

The sixth round of the Italian F.4 Championship opened with a spectacular show in Barcelona. Championship leader Kean Nakamura-Berta delivered a commanding performance in Race 1, starting from pole position and maintaining an untouchable pace throughout. At the finish line, the Japanese driver secured victory with more than five seconds of advantage.

The second round of the E4 Championship at Mugello Circuit ended with one final twist. After Kean Nakamura-Berta’s success in Race 1 and Alex Powell’s victory in Race 2 (following the 5-second penalty handed to Nakamura-Berta, first under the checkered flag), the last race of the weekend went to Sebastian Wheldon.
