Get ready to witness history in the making—20-year-old Filipino racing sensation Bianca Bustamante is set to make her much-anticipated GB3 Championship debut at the legendary Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit this April 26–27, as the 2025 season kicks off in high gear.
After making waves in the F1 Academy over the past two years, Bustamante is taking the next big step in her motorsport journey. This will be her first time competing in the UK’s top-tier single-seater series, a vital stepping stone between Formula 4 and Formula 3. Known for its ultra-competitive grid and faster, more technically demanding cars, GB3 is a true proving ground for future F1 talent.
Racing for Elite Motorsport, Bianca has been working relentlessly behind the scenes, undergoing an intense physical and mental preparation program to gear up for her most challenging season yet. From clocking laps at world-renowned tracks like Spa-Francorchamps to strength training at France’s elite 321 Perform facility, she’s left no stone unturned in her pursuit of performance.
This season marks a new chapter—not only is she returning to a mixed-gender grid for the first time since her karting days, but she’ll also be piloting the brand-new Tatuus MSV GB3-025 car. With increased power, 35% more downforce, DRS, and a major leap in mechanical grip and safety, this is GB3 like never before. It’s a whole new machine, and Bianca is more than ready to tame it.
“This is the biggest challenge of my career so far,” said Bustamante. “But it’s also the most exciting. I’ve been dreaming of racing in Europe at this level, and now that it’s here, I’m ready to give it everything I’ve got.”
The opening weekend at Silverstone will feature three action-packed races, running alongside the British GT Championship. Bustamante will be one of 30 drivers on the grid, all eyeing the top step of the podium—and with her relentless drive, don’t be surprised if she shakes things up right from the start.
Fans can follow Bianca’s GB3 journey through official live streams on the GB3 website, Sky Sports F1, and across her social media channels as she begins her climb up the ladder of elite motorsport.
