- Fortec racer heads the standings with four wins so far
- Swede coming into halfway point of first international single-seater season
Linus Granfors heads to the Snetterton circuit in Norfolk this weekend to defend his GB4 Championship points lead.
The Swedish rookie has opened up a 27-point advantage over British rival Harry Burgoyne going into round four of the season, which marks the resumption of GB4 racing following a seven-week break.
Heading into the halfway point of the campaign, 16-year-old Granfors has taken command in the standings after winning half of the eight races contested so far.
Looking to build on the promising start to his first season of international single-seater racing, the Fortec driver is keen for more at Snetterton.
“It’s been a while since our last race, so I’m really excited to get back to racing this weekend,” says Linus Granfors. “We’ve had a good start to the season with four victories, and we’ve won at all three of the circuits we’ve been to so far. The target of course is to be up there once again at Snetterton and extend our championship lead, but I’m sure a lot of people will try their best to stop us!”
Granfors will be out on track along with his fellow rivals on Thursday and Friday for a pair of pre-weekend test days. Official competition begins on Saturday with qualifying and the first race of the meeting. Races two and three will play out on Sunday, the latter featuring a full-reversed grid.
All GB4 races are live-streamed on the official series website as well as YouTube and social media channels.
