“The board of directors of the BRDC and I am sure all the members of the club share my enthusiasm to give ambitious, often modestly funded, British drivers the best opportunity to learn, develop, demonstrate and showcase their talents in order to give them the best opportunities to give their ability to achieve goals that can be F1, sports cars or touring cars.

“I am particularly proud of George Russell, who won our BRDC F4 Championship in 2014 and used this platform to support him on his way to becoming an F1 star.

“What is crucial for such drivers are single-seater series that offer powerful, equivalent cars at the lowest cost.

“BRDC F4 did it then, GB3 is doing it now, and our new GB4 championship will open up even more opportunities for riders taking their first steps in the sport.

“I am delighted that the BRDC continues this next chapter with us as we celebrate ten seasons of collaboration in 2022.”

BRDC Vice President Derek Warwick added: “I am delighted that the BRDC will continue to support the GB3 championship in 2022.

“The relationship with MSV has sharpened the talent of so many great drivers, dating back to the original 2013 BRDC F4 championship.

“We’re also excited to extend our support to GB4, a much-needed low-cost single-seater championship for young drivers.

“The key is that it attracts talented young people who would otherwise not be able to afford the step from karting to circuit racing, which is great news for British motorsport.

“I congratulate the MSV and especially Jonathan Palmer on his ongoing commitment to make formula racing affordable for aspiring new racing drivers.”
