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.

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.

The GB4 Championship, partnered by the BRDC, has confirmed a seven-round, 21 race calendar for its 2024 season, running at the country’s premier venues and joining the British GT Championship at all six of its UK events.

Irish racer Brandon McCaughan has been named as the winner of the 2023 GB4 Shoot Out for teenage National Formula Ford contenders, following last week’s assessment day at Snetterton. The 19-year-old, who finished fourth in this season’s BRSCC National Formula Ford Championship, wins a £20,000 contribution from MotorSport Vision (MSV) towards a seat in the 2024 GB4 Championship.

The winner of the 2023 GB4 Championship will again be rewarded with a £50,000 contribution towards their 2024 single-seater racing programme. The biggest fund available in UK junior single-seater racing, the £50,000 can be put towards a campaign in either GB3 or British Formula 4 for the following season, and will be paid to the team that the driver contracts with as part of their career progression towards hopefully F1. 

Following a successful first running of GB4’s National Formula Ford shoot-out in 2022, MotorSport Vision (MSV) and the British Racing and Sports Car Club (BRSCC) are pleased to confirm that the initiative will continue in 2023.

Colin Queen has been named as the winner of GB4’s National Formula Ford Shoot-Out, following the assessment day at Snetterton earlier this week.

The 2023 GB3 and GB4 Championship calendars have been confirmed by series organiser MotorSport Vision (MSV). GB3 will run to an eight-event schedule, with no fewer than four events on current F1 circuits, whilst GB4’s fixture list features seven events, and will appear on the bill at all UK rounds of the prestigious British GT Championship.

The £20,000 prize GB4 shoot-out for the three leading teenage drivers in this year’s Avon Tyres National Formula Ford Championship will take place at Snetterton on Tuesday 18 October.

The leading drivers in this year’s GB3 and GB4 Championships will receive a tour of the Oracle Red Bull Racing Formula One team factory this summer, thanks to the continued generosity of Pole Position Cup award founder John Cavill. 
 

The GB4 Championship will award the ‘George Russell Pole Position Cup’ in its inaugural season, following an agreement between the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 star and award founder John Cavill.
 

The Jack Cavill Pole Position Cup will extend to the GB4 Championship partnered by the BRDC in 2022, as well as offering a significantly increased prize package in the GB3 Championship. The new season marks the 10th successive year the prize has been awarded, with £36,000 in prize money handed to drivers and teams since 2013. Previous winners include Jake Hughes, George Russell and 2021 champion Zak O’Sullivan.

MSV will introduce a raft of major upgrades to the GB3 Championship car for the 2022 season onwards to enhance both the performance and its safety standards.
