Donington race three starts at 15.20 – Gilkes on pole

16 October 2022

The final GB3 race of the year starts at 15.20, with Hillspeed’s Nick Gilkes starting on pole.

The grid is based on the inverse of the qualifying result, and the Canadian will aim for his first win in GB3, starting alongside Elite Motorsport’s newcomer Ayato Iwasaki on the front row.

Hitech GP’s Cian Shields and Douglas Motorsport’s Tommy Smith are on the second row of the grid ahead of Arden VRD’s Alex Connor and Fortec’s Mikkel Grundtvig, who was due to start from pole, but was still carrying a grid penalty from round 18, and this was his first opportunity to take it.

Connor’s teammates David Morales and Nico Christodoulou will form row four, ahead of Chris Dittmann Racing’s McKenzy Cresswell and Douglas Motorsport’s Max Esterson.

Race one winner and fastest man in qualifying Callum Voisin will start 20th, with race two victory Tom Lebbon 19th. Newly crowned champion Luke Browning will start 16th and will aim to put on a show with nothing to lose.
