Rodin Motorsport’s Martin Molnar and VRD Racing’s Nikita Bedrin scooped prizes in the Jack Cavill Pole Position Cup at the Hungaroring.
Molnar, competing in front of a vocal home crowd, delighted the local audience with his first GB3 pole position in Saturday’s first qualifying session.
His effort of 1m35.605s was at that time a new GB3 qualifying record at the circuit, and put him 0.076s clear of Hitech’s Deagen Fairclough.
Bedrin then stormed to his fourth pole of the season in qualifying two, strengthening his lead at the top of the Pole Position Cup.
His 1m34.601s demolished any previous GB3 lap time at the circuit, and put him over two tenths of a second clear of Fairclough on the race two grid. Bedrin’s time was almost three seconds faster than last year’s pole time.
Molnar and Bedrin received £300 in prize money for their poles, as well as a trophy, presented by award founder John Cavill. The driver with the most pole positions at the end of the season will claim the Jack Cavill Pole Position Cup and a £2,000 prize. The team of the driver with the most poles will also earn £2,000.
John is the son of Jack Cavill, who played a prominent role in supporting underfunded drivers from the 1960s onwards. John has followed in his footsteps since, and has been a partner of the GB3 Championship with the Jack Cavill Pole Position Cup since the series' formation as BRDC F4 in 2013.
Previous winners of the Jack Cavill Pole Position Cup include F1 title contender George Russell, IndyCar podium finisher Linus Lundqvist and current Williams F1 reserve Luke Browning. F1 world champion Lando Norris and Haas F1 star Ollie Bearman are others to have received prizes as part of the award.
