Hitech Pulse-Eight's Tymek Kucharczyk showcased a commanding performance as he led from start to finish, clinching his inaugural victory in the GB3 Championship at Silverstone.

Securing a double pole position in qualifying, Kucharczyk executed a flawless start and swiftly extended his lead over the pursuing pack, ultimately crossing the finish line ahead of Elite Motorsport's McKenzy Cresswell and teammate Will Macintyre.

Maintaining his composure amidst the challenges, championship leader Louis Sharp of Rodin Motorsport secured fourth place after a spirited mid-race battle with teammate Ugo Ugochukwu, who later conceded position to Hitech Pulse-Eight's Gerrard Xie, securing fifth, while Ugochukwu settled for sixth.

Elite's Jarrod Waberski showcased a commendable performance, ascending to seventh place after a captivating duel with James Hedley of VRD Racing by Arden, who secured eighth position.

A noteworthy feat was achieved by FIA F3 race winner Martinius Stenshorne, who demonstrated remarkable progress from 14th on the grid to secure ninth place for Chris Dittmann Racing, finishing ahead of JHR Developments' John Bennett, who maintained his 10th place starting position.

However, the spotlight remained on Kucharczyk, who dominated the race from start to finish. His victory, eight seconds clear across 10 laps, stands as one of the largest winning margins in GB3 history.
