Ary Bansal will make his GB3 Championship debut at this weekend’s (7/8 November) season finale at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya with TJ Speed Motorsports.
The Indian driver secured the 2025 GB4 title at the Donington Park season finale after a superb campaign which netted four wins and a total of 11 podiums.
Bansal started his year with a win at the Donington Park season opener, but a double victory at the mid-season Snetterton round kick started his campaign, and a remarkable run of five podiums and a win from the final seven races landed him the title on the final day.
Since then, the 16-year-old from Bangalore has recently finished sixth in the highly competitive Italian F4 Championship, with wins at Mugello and Misano added to four further podium finishes.
A busy campaign started with third place in the pre-season Formula Winter Series with wins at Portimão and MotorLand Aragón, while he also took a victory at Monza in the mid-season E4 Championship.
In addition, Bansal has made one off appearances in the Formula Regional European Championship season finale at Hockenheim, and the Euroformula Open end of year event at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, where he claimed a second place in the final race.
He now turns his attentions to racing in GB3 for the first time. He joins Tim Neff’s TJ Speed Motorsports outfit, which also makes its series debut this weekend, and partners with fellow Italian F4 contender Arjen Kräling in the team's two-car line-up.
