The GB4 Championship, partnered by the BRDC, has confirmed its 2026 event calendar, retaining the popular and cost-effective seven-round, 21-race schedule across the UK’s premier circuits. In addition, plans for a maiden Winter Series have also been confirmed, with an end of year visit to Snetterton on 24/25 October for drivers considering an entry for the 2027 season.

Fred Green (Elite Motorsport) produced a blistering pace in the summer heatwave on his way to a double pole position in qualifying. The 2025 Ginetta Junior Scholarship winner lapped seven tenths of a second faster than anyone else, the biggest pole margin of the season to date. Behind, Alfie Slater edged out his R Racing team-mate Rocco Coronel by just five thousandths of a second to secure a front-row slot for race one. Max Cuthbert (R Racing) and Elite Motorsport duo Ethan Carney and Joseph Smith rounded out the top six overall in the session.

Elite Motorsport’s Ary Bansal enjoyed his best day of the GB4 Championship season so far as he claimed both pole positions on offer in qualifying, and then led every lap of race one to clinch his second win of the campaign. The Indian driver held off teammate Isaac Phelps during the 10 lap contest on Saturday afternoon, with championship leader Dan Guinchard finishing third to maintain his standings lead. 

British-Finnish racer Flame Airikkala will make her GB4 debut at Snetterton this weekend (12-13 July), completing a capacity three-car line-up at Pace Performance. The 18-year-old is the granddaughter of rallying legend Pentti Airikkala, and already has racing experience to count on across the past couple of seasons.
