The wait is finally over: the GB3 Championship and the all-new MSV-GB3-025 are ready to hit the track!

From the moment the first sketches of the MSV-GB3-025 were drawn, the countdown began. A process that evolved through multiple project stages, accelerating with excitement in October 2024 when the very first car rolled out of the Tatuus HQ. From then on, the wait took on a new form — a countdown to the first official sessions, marked by test days, driver announcements, and livery reveals. Now, just a few steps remain before the anticipation gives way to the thrill of the first qualifying session and the season’s opening three races.

Silverstone will serve as the perfect stage for the new model’s debut this weekend, featuring 27 cars on the grid, a roster of top-tier talent, and many new highlights for the series.

A new DRS challenge

The opening races of the new car will also mark a historic first: the competitive debut of Drag Reduction System (DRS) on a Tatuus single-seater.

During qualifying, drivers will be allowed unlimited DRS use within the permitted zones. In races, however, DRS activation will be restricted to instances when the gap to the car ahead is less than one second, as measured at specific detection points. At Silverstone, those detection zones will be placed at Maggotts and Village, activating DRS on the Hangar and Wellington straights respectively.

10 teams, plenty of talent

Two new teams join an already elite paddock, forming a highly competitive grid set to battle it out on some of Europe’s most iconic circuits.

The calendar

The schedule and venues are another major novelty of the upcoming season. The 2025 GB3 Championship will feature 8 rounds and 24 races: half on Britain’s legendary circuits, the other half on some of Europe’s most prestigious tracks. The grand finale, set for October 18-19 at Autodromo di Monza, promises a unique and symbolic close to the season.

Here are all the 2025 dates:

26-27 Aprile: Silverstone

17-18 Maggio: Zandvoort

31 Maggio - 1 Giugno: Spa Francorchamps

5-6 Luglio: Hungaroring

2-3 Agosto: Silverstone

23-24 Agosto: Brands Hatch

4-5 Ottobre: Donington Park

18-19 Ottobre: Monza

Weekend Format

Each race weekend will begin with testing or free practice, followed by a qualifying session split into two 15-minute segments, separated by a 5-minute break. These will determine the grids for Race 1 and Race 2 respectively. Race 3 will once again feature the popular reverse-grid format: the top 12 from Qualifying 2 will be reversed, while positions 13 onward remain unchanged.

All three races will run for 25 minutes.

The Prizes

The top five drivers in the final championship standings will receive FIA Super Licence points — with 10 points going to the champion.

The Jack Cavill Pole Position Cup returns once again: every pole will earn £300, with an additional £2,000 and a trophy awarded to the driver with the most poles over the season.

Finally, the Omologato "One to Watch Award" will reward the driver who scores the most points across Races 1 and 2 each weekend.

How to follow the Silverstone weekend


The Silverstone races – and indeed all races throughout the season – will be streamed live on MotorSport Vision’s YouTube channel: MSV TV.

Over the course of the weekend, the same channel will also broadcast the races from the second round of the GB4 Championship, which will also be on track at Silverstone.
