Hillspeed’s Freddie Slater made it two wins from the first two GB3 Championship races of the season, after another storming drive in race two at Silverstone.
After an early safety car for two cars stranded on the grid, Slater made a strong restart and pulled away from the pack again, finishing clear of JHR’s Noah Lisle and Hitech’s Nikita Johnson.
Slater, who demonstrated impressive pace already in race one, used his experience to nail the safety car restart and he extended his lead to 1.4 seconds at the end of lap three.
The British driver, already a podium finisher in FIA F3 this year, didn’t put a foot wrong as he stretched clear of Lisle in second, with his lead in the race extending to 10 seconds before a late safety car for an incident between Hitech’s Keanu Al Azhari and Xcel Motorsport’s Dion Gowda neutralised the race.
Slater therefore took a comfortable victory, while Lisle survived a late-race battle to finish second, with Johnson completing the podium positions after defending from the Rodin Motorsport pair of Gianmarco Pradel in fourth and Alex Ninovic in fifth.
The Rodin drivers delivered a good battle throughout the race, with Pradel making effective use of the new DRS system to pass his teammate heading into Stowe corner.
JHR Development’s Kai Daryanani fended off a tough challenge from Abbi Pulling to finish sixth, as Pulling crossed the line in seventh. Xcel Motorsport’s Patrick Heuzenroeder came home in eighth, followed by Argenti’s Lucas Fluxa.
Kanato Le benefited from the late tangle between Al Azhari and Gowda to round out the top-10 for Hillspeed.
Hitech’s Deagan Fairclough, despite starting from last place after changing his survival cell overnight, worked his way up the field to finish fifteenth.
The third race of the weekend at Silverstone is due to start at 15.45 on Sunday afternoon.
