Deagen Fairclough returns for a second GB3 season with Hitech after a highly promising debut in 2025.

Throughout the year, he consistently demonstrated strong pace and racecraft in a competitive international field, securing a victory and six further podium finishes as he battled at the sharp end of races. A third-place finish in the Drivers’ standings and Vice-Championship honours in the Teams’ standings capped a standout season for Deagen and Hitech.

The British driver quickly established himself as one of the series’ emerging talents in his first season, combining speed with maturity and developing steadily as the campaign unfolded. Building on that momentum, Deagen now heads into 2026 with confidence, aiming to regularly fight for wins and podiums. Remaining with Hitech gives Deagen continuity and support as he looks to convert last year’s experience into front-running results and challenge further up the Drivers’ Championship order.

Fairclough was a dominant British F4 champion with the team in 2024, taking 14 wins and eight additional podiums from 30 races, as well as 12 pole positions and 18 fastest laps. He also won the Silverstone Autorsport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award, completing an Aston Martin F1 test last year.
