The MSV-GB3-025 has already proven capable of delivering thrilling racing, impressing both teams and drivers!

“What a car” – that was the message Freddie Slater shared on his social channels after a weekend in which he claimed two victories out of three and took the early lead in the GB3 Championship standings.

It was a hugely successful debut, packed with exciting races through the corners of Silverstone and widespread enthusiasm across the paddock, setting the stage for what promises to be a captivating season. 25 cars lined up on the grid, with Slater dominating Race 1 and Race 2, consistently chased by Noah Lisle. Gianmarco Pradel and Nikita Johnson took turns stepping onto the third step of the podium in the opening two races.

Race 3, run with a reversed grid for the top 12 qualifiers, brought no shortage of drama, contact and wheel-to-wheel battles. At the end of it all, Will Macintyre emerged victorious, ahead of Patrick Heuzenroeder and Kai Daryanani.

One of the standout performers of the weekend was Deagen Fairclough: starting from the pit lane in Race 1 and from the back of the grid in both Race 2 and 3, the British talent fully exploited the new car’s characteristics—especially the DRS—to deliver a flurry of overtakes. His charge through the field in Race 3, gaining 18 positions to finish seventh, was particularly impressive.

After a two-week break, the GB3 Championship will return for its first race outside the UK, scheduled for May 16–18 at Zandvoort.
