Blue skies and warm summer temperatures set the stage for a spectacular day of GB3 Championship racing at the legendary Brands Hatch Circuit, where Rodin Motorsport delivered a commanding performance across the weekend.
The team secured podium finishes in every race, with championship leader Alex Ninovic continuing his remarkable run of form alongside teammate Abbi Pulling.
Ninovic was the standout performer of the event, dominating the opening two races in emphatic style. The Rodin Motorsport driver converted two pole positions into two victories, underlining his growing authority in the championship.
His weekend began with a record-breaking qualifying lap of 1m17s, securing pole position for both Race 1 and Race 2. From there, the Australian delivered a pair of near-perfect drives.
Only Freddie Slater was able to mount any form of challenge during the second race, but even that pressure proved short-lived. Ninovic steadily edged clear of the pack, expertly moving outside DRS range and eliminating any realistic opportunity for attacks from behind.
Aside from Slater’s brief challenge, Ninovic spent much of both races untroubled at the front, showcasing both pace and race management that have now extended his championship advantage to 67 points at the top of the standings.
With performances like these, Ninovic is quickly becoming one of the most exciting young drivers to watch, and his trajectory suggests a very bright future ahead.
There was also a major milestone for Rodin Motorsport teammate Abbi Pulling. The 2024 F1 Academy champion secured her first GB3 podium, finishing third in the final race of the day.
A late safety car, deployed just a few laps from the finish, helped lock in the result and sparked celebrations both in the Rodin garage and among the fans in attendance
Pulling has already built a strong following thanks to her F1 Academy success, and the podium was warmly received around the circuit. The moment drew a particularly enthusiastic round of applause from the crowd as she stepped onto the rostrum - a deserved reward after a determined race and a result that had been a long time coming.
The final race of the weekend produced another milestone moment, this time for Enzo Tarnvanichkul.
The Red Bull-backed driver started from second on the grid and wasted little time making his move, overtaking Jack Sherwood for the lead early in the race. Once out front, Tarnvanichkul controlled the pace and steadily extended his advantage until the late safety car closed the field.
Despite the interruption, the Thai driver held firm to claim his first ever GB3 victory, an achievement that sparked emotional celebrations with his team after the chequered flag.
Speaking after the race, Tarnvanichkul said:
"It was one of the highlights of my career. The first win is always special, and this being my first in single-seaters made it even sweeter. Brands Hatch was incredibly fun, and it’s a moment I’ll remember for a long time."
With dominant performances, breakthrough podiums, and a maiden victory all packed into one eventful day, the GB3 Championship delivered another thrilling chapter at Brands Hatch - and Rodin Motorsport left Kent firmly in control of the narrative.
