Molnar proves pace gains with Sunoco Fastest Driver of the Weekend Award

05 August 2026

Rodin Motorsport's Martin Molnar became the third different driver this year to claim the Sunoco Fastest Driver of the Weekend Award, as he powered to the quickest race lap of the weekend at Silverstone. 

Molnar's best lap of 1m51.235s came in the first race of the event on Saturday, in which he was just 0.06s quicker than race winner Deagen Fairclough.

Fairclough recorded the quickest lap of race two, with an effort just over a quarter of a second away from Molnar's race one best.

Meanwhile, Fairclough's teammate Jacob Micallef set the fastest lap in race three, a 1m52.075s. That effort was all the more impressive considering the eventual race winner spent the entire contest engaged in battle as he moved towards the head of the pack.  

Championship leader Nikita Bedrin has claimed the prize three times already in 2026, with Fairclough the other contender to secure the honour, back at the season opening event at Silverstone. 

The Sunoco Fastest Driver of the Weekend Award is presented by GB3's control fuel supplier to the driver who sets the fastest race lap at each race event.
