Isaac Phelps will make his GB3 Championship and Monza debuts when the Hertfordshire youngster steps up from GB4 to contest the three final GB3 races of the season in Italy this weekend (18/19 October).

The 16-year-old from Berkhamsted has just completed his maiden GB4 season with Elite, finishing vice-champion in his first year of single-seater racing, leading more laps and races than any other driver.

Isaac claimed six pole-positions, six podiums including four race wins, plus four fastest race laps in the 21-race series, finishing just 11-points behind eventual champion and Elite team-mate Ary Bansal. Phelps claimed his second consecutive Sunoco Fastest Driver of the Weekend Award at the final GB4 event of the season at Donington Park (4/5 Oct).

Phelps, who began karting in 2020, joined Elite last year, contesting the Ginetta Junior Championship. He was the second best-placed Rookie, finishing an impressive fifth overall having scored eight overall podiums, winning three races outright, and successfully signing off from the category by becoming the Winter Series Champion after winning two of the three races at Silverstone.

Isaac joins Elite’s GB3 regulars, Bianca Bustamante and Flynn Jackes, due to Will Macintyre’s withdrawal from racing due to illness.
