Dutch rising star Rocco Coronel will head into his home event as Ginetta Junior Championship points leader as the series prepares to compete at Circuit Zandvoort for the first time this weekend (26-27 July).

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.

Rocco Coronel has established himself as the driver to beat as the 20th anniversary season of the Ginetta Junior Championship continues with a triple-header this weekend at Oulton Park.

Hitech GP has confirmed Red Bull Junior Team driver Souta Arao in its line-up for the 2023 GB3 Championship season. The 17-year-old Japanese racer, who is also a member of Honda’s junior programme, most recently competed in the French F4 Championship in 2022, winning three races and taking seven additional podium finishes on his way to third overall. His victories came with impressive drives at Pau, Spa-Francorchamps and Paul Ricard in his first season of single-seater racing.
