Corner by corner: a three-track weekend across Spa, Salzburgring, and Portimão
In motorsport, there is no single path to growth. Each circuit speaks its own language, and every race weekend is an exercise in both technical precision and mental interpretation. This past weekend, the Tatuus single-seaters tackled three very different challenges: Spa, with its slipstreams and textbook restarts; the Salzburgring, which demands discipline and precision; and Portimão, with its blind corners and fluctuating rhythm, where driving sensitivity is key.
Three tracks, three approaches, three categories. Yet one unifying thread: the ability of Tatuus vehicles to offer young drivers a consistent and high-performance platform, one that highlights talent and makes it measurable, regardless of context.
GB3
The GB3 weekend at Spa delivered three distinctly different races, all characterized by relentless pace and the signature variables of the Belgian circuit. Alex Ninovic (Rodin Motorsport) claimed victory in Race 1 with a strong, composed drive, followed by Kanato Le (Hillspeed) in Race 2. Race 3 saw Freddie Slater (Hillspeed) take the win, managing pressure and traffic with remarkable poise.
Ninovic leaves Belgium firmly atop the overall standings, thanks to a remarkable consistency that has proven decisive in what continues to be one of the most competitive and compelling championships on the calendar.

The Salzburgring is fast, fluid, and unforgiving—an environment that was expertly interpreted by Jenzer Motorsport drivers Gino Trappa and Max Karhan. The pair dominated all three races, mastering their Tatuus T-421 cars on a track where the margin for error is slim and average speeds remain high. Karhan took the wins in Race 1 and 2, while Trappa triumphed in Race 3, allowing the Argentine to retain the overall championship lead.
The next round is scheduled for the end of July at Most.
Ultimate Cup
Portimão is pure technique—a circuit of elevation changes, blind corners, and elusive traction. Hugh Barter read the track with balance and rhythm, steering his Tatuus T-318 to victory.
Barter (Winfield Racing) completed another clean sweep in Portimão, replicating his triple win from Paul Ricard and further cementing his championship lead. Just behind him in all three races was Nano Lopez (TS Corse), while the third step of the podium was shared between Dylan Estre (Races 1 and 3 for Formula Motorsport) and Aaron Ferrazzano (Race 2 for Winfield Racing).
The series now enters a long break, with the next round set for MotorLand Aragón from September 5 to 7.
