Hitech has confirmed that Deagen Fairclough will remain with the team for the 2026 GB3 Championship, completing its three-car line-up for the coming campaign.
Deagen 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, and won the Silverstone Autorsport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award, completing an Aston Martin F1 test last year.
Deagen Fairclough: “I’m really happy to be staying with Hitech for another season in GB3. Last year taught me a lot, and I feel like we’ve built a strong base together. I’m excited to keep working with the team and to go into 2026 ready to fight for strong results.”
Phil Blow, Hitech’s GB3 Team Manager: “Deagen made strong progress throughout his first GB3 season, and his commitment and work ethic stood out. Having continuity for a second year is a big positive, and we believe that with his experience base, he’s well positioned to take another step forward in 2026.”
