Rodin Motorsport's Abbi Pulling became the first female driver to claim a pole position in the GB3 Championship, and entered the race for this year's Jack Cavill Pole Position Cup in the process at Spa-Francorchamps.
VRD Racing's Nikita Bedrin meanwhile secured his third pole position of the year in the second qualifying session, with a new qualifying record lap of 2m11.911s, and maintains a two pole advantage at the top of the table.
Both drivers converted their poles into superb victories. Pulling led every lap on her way to more history on Saturday, as the first woman to secure a victory in GB3.
Bedrin then claimed his own lights to flag triumph in race two on Sunday morning, his third victory of the year as he strengthened his advantage in the championship standings.
Pulling 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.
