Swiss driver Dario Cabanelas Altukhov has joined MP Motorsport as the team’s fifth and final signing for its burgeoning 2024 Eurocup-3 programme. It will be the 17-year-old’s first full year in the series as he aims to build on his experience gained in the final three rounds of the 2023 season.

Spanish racer Javier Sagrera has joined MP Motorsport for a second year in the fledgling Eurocup-3 series. The 20-year-old from Torroella de Montgrí aims to improve on the run of podiums that he achieved in 2023.

The Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine roared back into action this morning at Hockenheim, where the series organized by ACI Sport and Alpine Racing saw its drivers tackle a wet track.

The penultimate event of the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine season kicked off today in Zandvoort with the first round of pre-collective testing conducted under rainy conditions. Tim Tramnitz (R-ace GP) emerged as the fastest during the 90-minute timed session, clocking the best time of 1:43.564 in the closing moments, surpassing the current championship leader, Andrea Kimi Antonelli (Prema Racing), who had led for a significant portion of the session.

Tom Lebbon and Branden Oxley were the winners on Sunday at Brands Hatch, with two enthralling contests on the mighty Grand Prix circuit. In the championship race, two positive results for Hitech GP’s Luke Browning and a difficult final race for Joel Granfors means the British driver holds an extended 15.5 point championship lead heading to the final weekend at Donington Park. 

A win in race two and a controlled drive in the final contest of the weekend means Hitech GP’s Luke Browning leaves Snetterton with an extended GB3 Championship lead.
 

Carlin has confirmed that Javier Sagrera will complete the team’s line-up for the 2022 GB3 Championship partnered by the BRDC. The 18-year-old Spanish driver will compete in his second season in the series and joins already announced team-mates Callum Voisin and Roberto Faria at the Farnham-based squad.

Carlin’s Christian Mansell and Arden’s Roman Bilinski were the two BRDC British F3 race winners on Saturday at Spa-Francorchamps.  Mansell triumphed in wet conditions in race one, while Bilinski took both his and Arden Motorsport’s first win in the championship in a dry second race. The same three drivers finished on the podium in both races, with Zak O’Sullivan finishing second twice, and opening up a commanding lead at the top of the championship standings as a result. 

Hitech GP’s Reece Ushijima and Chris Dittmann Racing’s Ayrton Simmons were the winners on Sunday at Silverstone, after an entertaining pair of races at the home of the British Grand Prix. Japanese driver Ushijima claimed his second victory of the weekend with another dominant display in race one, while Simmons salvaged glory from a difficult weekend in the reverse grid race three. 

Carlin duo Zak O’Sullivan and Christian Mansell were the winners of two frantic BRDC British F3 races on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit today (Sunday).  O’Sullivan triumphed in this morning’s race two, taking advantage of lap one drama to claim his first victory in BRDC British F3 ahead of Fortec’s Ollie Bearman and Hitech GP’s Reece Ushijima.

After the start of the OK and OK Junior European Championship in Angerville, France, on the weekend of May 5^th in Wackersdorf, Germany, it’s the turn of the FIA Karting European Championship for the KZ and KZ2 shifter classes, where the CRG Racing Team boasts an important hall of fame with 24 titles, and the last 2 laurels won in KZ with Jorrit Pex in 2018 and Paolo De Conto in 2017.

Positive balance for the CRG drivers in Sarno during the last round of the WSK Super Master. Bortoleto conquered his first podium in OK, whilst a contact during the final deprived Hiltbrand (OK) and De Conto (KZ2) of a good result. In OK Junior good also Trulli.

Positive 4th place for Paolo De Conto in KZ2 and excellent performances of Gabriel Bortoleto in OK for the Racing Team.

The classic meeting scheduled for this weekend in Lonato will be the occasion to present the 2019 drivers line up and make an important shakedown in view of the FIA events. With over 300 drivers, the 24^th Winter Cup will be a very interesting event and it will give an excellent feedback in view of the FIA races. All the most important teams and drivers of International Karting will be on track and for the KZ2 class, it will be the first general test in view of the World Championship, that will be hosted by this track in September.

CRG locked out the KZ2 podium in Spain with De Conto, Gil and Cunati. Hiltbrand fourth after a great comeback race. CRG victorious also in Junior with Pons and Senior with Carenini.
