Kirill Kutskov will race alongside the previously announced Kyuho Lee and Flynn Jackes for Elite Motorsport at Silverstone this weekend (25-26 Apr).
The 17-year-old Serbia-based Kazakh karted between 2017-24, winning the Trofeo Delle Industrie in 2019 and becoming Vice Champion in the South Garda Winter Cup the same year.
Kirill finished runner-up in the 2021 Champions of the Future and third in the 2022 WSK Euro Series standings prior to claiming the 2023 WSK Euro Series and Karting World Championship titles.
Having made his single-seater debut in late 2023, he scored a win and multiple podiums in the 2024 F4 Saudi Arabian Championship in which he finished third in the standings.
He also competed in the Formula 4 CEZ Championship that year, finishing Vice-Champion after numerous race wins and podiums and also made his debut in the Italian and Spanish F4 Championships.
Kirill raced in select Formula Winter Series rounds last year prior to a full season in the Italian F4 series, also taking race wins in both the Formula 4 CEZ and SMP F4 Championships.
Kirill Kutskov: “GB3 represents the next important step in my development. The championship offers a highly competitive environment with strong technical demands, allowing me to refine racecraft, consistency and adaptability on some of the most challenging circuits. It’s a key platform to prepare for higher levels of single-seater racing.
“Elite Motorsport has a proven track record of developing young drivers and delivering competitive results. Their professional structure, engineering strength and experience in GB3 make them an ideal partner to support my progression and help maximize my performance throughout the season.
“Thursday will be my first test in a GB3 car but I’m confident in adapting quickly. With my previous experience and strong technical understanding, I expect to get up to speed rapidly and be competitive from the outset.
“My primary goal at Silverstone will be to build confidence with the car, learn quickly and be competitive across sessions. I’m focused on delivering consistent performances and fighting for strong results as the weekend progresses.”
Team Owner and Manager Eddie Ives: “We’re pleased to welcome Kirill to the team for his GB3 debut this weekend.
“He brings a very strong background from both karting and Formula 4, with proven pace and consistency at a high level.
“Stepping into GB3 at a circuit like Silverstone is a big challenge but he has the experience and mindset to adapt quickly.
“This weekend will be about building confidence with the car and integrating into the team.
“We’re looking forward to seeing how he develops over the course of the event.”
