Fortec Motorsport’s Linus Granfors claimed his second victory of the Silverstone GB4 weekend in a delayed race two, as the Swedish driver marched into the championship lead.

Fortec Motorsport’s Linus Granfors claimed his second GB4 victory of the season after a scintillating opening contest of the weekend on the Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit.

The 2024 Ginetta Junior champion will receive a £50,000 scholarship towards a seat in the 2025 GB4 Championship, it was confirmed today (Friday 26 April). Ginetta Cars and GB4 promoter MotorSport Vision (MSV) will jointly contribute to the prize fund – one of the largest ever seen at this level of UK motorsport.

KMR Sport’s Brandon McCaughan and Fortec’s Linus Granfors were victorious on Monday at Oulton Park, as McCaughan’s teammate Harry Burgoyne completed a podium clean sweep in Cheshire to leave the event as the early championship leader. 

Elite Motorsport’s Alisha Palmowski fought her way to victory in the first GB4 Championship race of the season at Oulton Park. From second on the grid, she blasted into the lead on the run to turn one, and then led from there, taking the flag over three seconds clear of her opposition. 

Championship organiser, MotorSport Vision (MSV) has confirmed the leading female contender in this year’s GB4 season will receive a €30,000 prize contribution towards a drive in the 2025 F1 Academy series.

Alisha Palmowski will step up to the GB4 Championship with Elite Motorsport this year, as the Derbyshire teenager stays with the Norfolk squad for a second consecutive year. The former Ginetta Junior Scholarship winner finished fifth in the Junior Championship last year with the team, having scored 10 podiums.
