Chris Dittmann Racing has confirmed that Martinius Stenshorne will race for the team at the Silverstone GB3 rounds on 27/28 April. 

The 18-year-old Norwegian is already a winner this season in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, having triumphed in the Sprint Race in Melbourne last month, after fighting his way into the lead in the opening stages and fending off late pressure. He arrives at Silverstone from a three-day F3 test at Barcelona, as he continues his international campaign with Hitech Pulse-Eight.  

In 2023, he made his way into the Formula Regional European Championship history books as the first Rookie to take pole position at the opening race of the year and then won on his debut. He took five wins in total during the campaign, in addition to six further podium finishes, taking the runner-up spot in the final championship standings, along with the Rookie title. 

Martinius was born into a racing family, with his father Martin a competitor in the World Rally Championship. He had his first laps in a kart at the age of four, began racing at ten, and won both the WSK Master Series and Italian Championship before moving to cars.

His appearance at Silverstone comes as part of Chris Dittmann Racing’s link up with the Hitech Academy, with full-season GB3 Championship racers Flynn Jackes and Seb Murray joining the team through the partnership.
