Irishman Alex Dunne steps up to the GB3 Championship with the Hitech Pulse-Eight team he dominated the British F4 Championship with in 2022. 

He took British title honours in a record-breaking season that saw him rack up eleven wins, six further podium finishes, and five pole positions, whilst he was the championship runner-up in Italian F4.

Dunne's British F4 victory tally saw him eclipse the previous benchmark for the category (10) set by Jamie Caroline and Zane Maloney. 

Dunne also contested the F4 UAE Championship with Hitech earlier in the year, taking a double victory and establishing himself as a consistent front-runner in the series. 

The 17-year-old driver had competed part-time in both the Spanish and German F4 Championships during 2021, claiming three podiums and consistently collecting points in the races.
