Fred Green, driver for Elite Motorsport, has made a remarkable debut in the 2026 season of the GB4 championship, winning the first two races at Silverstone in an immediate and dominant fashion.
After finishing second with the team in the Ginetta Junior last season, with seven wins in the last nine races, Green has maintained this positive momentum. His performance during the pre-season tests established him as one of the favorites, standing out in the pre-season sessions at the North African circuit.
In the qualifying session, Green showed great speed, setting a record time of 2m00.638s. Although he was initially surpassed by his teammate Emilio Valentino Del Grosso, he reclaimed pole position with an impressive time.
During the first race, Green managed his start perfectly, holding the lead from the beginning. Accompanied on the podium by Del Grosso and Alex O’Grady, Green solidified his victory with a strong performance at the start and excellent control during the restart caused by a safety car.
“I am very happy with what we have achieved so far,” Green commented after the race. “We faced some pressure at the start, but we managed it and extended our advantage.”
The second race had more incidents. Green held onto the lead after a complicated start and remained firm against his rival Enzo Hallman. Despite facing difficulties with several incidents, the driver was able to win again with a shortened finish, declared victorious after a restart with a red flag.
The third race was no less thrilling, with a race start led by Romuald Bocquet. However, due to a penalty for a jump start, Bocquet lost his chance for victory, leaving the way clear for Dayton Coulthard, who achieved the final triumph.
At the end of the weekend, the championship standings are led by Green with 70 points, followed closely by Hallman and Smyth with 60 and 59 points respectively. This start to the season marks a promising path for Green and his team without a doubt.
