Xcel Motorsport has confirmed that Dion Gowda will participate in selected rounds of this year’s GB3 Championship.
The 17-year-old Indian driver will join the squad for the rounds at the Silverstone (April), Spa-Francorchamps and Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuits, as he balances his GB3 outings with a full-season campaign in FRECA.
A proven talent, Dion was a mutliple race winner in the 2023 British F4 Championship and has since gained valuable experience competing across Europe in the Italian F4 Championship.
His return to the British single-seater scene will come alongside Xcel’s previously confirmed full-time drivers Jack Sherwood and Patrick Heuzenroeder.
Gowda gained his first experience of the new Tatuus MSV GB3-025 car in testing at Silverstone earlier this week, and finished inside the top-10 on his first day.
Dion Gowda said: “I’m really looking forward to joining Xcel Motorsport for a part-season in GB3. It’s a championship I’ve always enjoyed watching, and I’m excited to be back racing in the UK. I’ve worked with some of the team before, and I know we can hit the ground running. I’m aiming to make the most of every opportunity and help the team fight at the front.”
Xcel Motorsport Team Manager Gary Bonnor said: “It’s fantastic to have Dion back with us for 2025. We last worked together in 2023 and saw first-hand the potential he brings both on and off the track. His experience since then will be a real asset to the team, and we’re looking forward to picking up where we left off.”
