GB3 ADDS ZANDVOORT

Next year’s GB3 calendar will feature two international rounds for the first time as Zandvoort has been added to join the contest’s usual Spa visit.

GB3 usually appears at British GT meetings, but while British GT has replaced Spa with Portimao for 2023 GB3 has retained a Belgian visit as part of the early June Spa Euro Race weekend. And GB3 will then support GT World Challenge Europe at Zandvoort in mid-October. The additional overseas round means GB3 will be elevated to FIA International Series status, subject to FIA approval.

Chief executive of organiser MSV Jonathan Palmer said: “The addition of another current F1 circuit to the calendar will further strengthen GB3’s already considerable appeal. This follows on from the series’ most successful season to date.”

GB4’s unveiled schedule has seven three-race meetings, one fewer than in its inaugural 2022 season as its headline Snetterton curtain raiser is dropped. Its only meeting not on the British GT bill is the late-July Silverstone GB3-headline round.
