UAE-based Xcel Motorsport has confirmed that it will expand into the GB3 Championship in 2025, and is set to field a pair of Tatuus MSV GB3-025 machines in its new venture.
The squad is the premier motorsport outfit in the United Arab Emirates, with success in karting, F4 and Formula Regional across recent campaigns.
Multiple karting titles have gone the team’s way across the past decade, in addition to Vice Champion honours in World and European categories.
In addition, Xcel claimed the F4 UAE Teams’ Championship title for three successive seasons across 2019-2021, plus the Drivers’ title with Matteo Nannini and Francesco Pizzi in 2019 and 2020.
Having moved into British F4 in time for the start of the 2024 season, and claiming a podium finish in just its fourth race, Xcel Motorsport now expands further with its first entry into the GB3 Championship.
Team Manager Paul Hardy said: “We’re very pleased to be making the move into GB3 for next season, as we expand our team further into the UK racing scene. We’re uniquely placed to take talented drivers through from grassroots and international-level karting, through F4 in the Middle East and UK, and then into GB3, providing a ladder of opportunity that few teams can rival at this level. It’s a great time to join the series too, GB3’s new car is a very exciting one, and levels the playing field for all teams, with everyone getting used to it at the same time. We can’t wait to get going and take delivery of our new cars!”
