Patrick Heuzenroeder spearheads Xcel Motorsport’s line-up for its debut season in GB3 this year.
Heuzenroeder demonstrated his potential in last year’s GB3 Championship, with a podium finish and consistent top 10 positions. He also enjoyed a highly successful campaign in the Formula Regional Oceania Championship in New Zealand at the start of 2025, claiming four podiums including a victory at Highlands Motorsport Park.
The Australian’s 2024 GB3 podium came during a strong mid-season run of form at continental venues. He netted his best qualifying result at the Hungaroring, and the streak culminated with a third place finish in the final Zandvoort contest. That trophy added to silverware secured at the end of 2023, with an additional podium at Donington Park at the conclusion of his first short spell in the series.
The 19-year-old’s experience, having also raced in British F4 and Formula Ford prior to that in his homeland, will be a strong asset for the UAE-based Xcel Motorsport squad, which is in its debut GB3 campaign.
