History

[edit | edit source]

The team was founded in 1970 as Hill Speed Racing to support Morgan Ollerenshaw's entry in 1970 season of the British Saloon Car Championship, now known as British Touring Car Championship. It is possible that the team is named after Hill Top (located at the outskirts of Sheffield), where the team was formerly based. According to an Autosport article in 2020, the team has become a "promine fixture" in United Kingdom motorsport after 50 years of existence.[1][2]

GB3 Championship

[edit | edit source]

Hillspeed joined the GB3 Championship when it was founded in 2013 as BRDC Formula 4 Championship. For this season, the team signed Seb Morris, Struan Moore and Rahul Raj Mayer.[3]

Alfredo Zabalza, Gustavo Lima were signed for the team in the 2014 season.[4][5] Rahul Raj Mayer also stayed with the team for his sophomore season.[6]

For the 2015 season, the team signed Al Faisal Al Zubair, Ameya Vaidyanathan and Sebastian Lanzetti.[7][8] Riki Christodoulou and Hernán Fallas also drove for the team for a part-time basis.[9][10]

In the 2016 season, when the BRDC F4 was renamed to BRDC F3, Hillspeed signed Bahraini driver Ali Al Khalifa for a part-time entry.[11]

For the 2017 season, Hillspeed entered into cooperation with Cliff Dempsey Racing.[12] The cooperated entry signed three drivers: Chase Owen, Jordan Cane and Nick Worm.[13] Later, Jordan Cane moved to Douglas Motorsport without driving for Hillspeed.[14]

Hillspeed signed Ben Hurst, Sasakorn Chaimongkol and Jusuf Owega for the 2018 season.[15][16][17]

In 2019, the team reduced to a two-car entry, as Sasakorn Chaimongkol remained with the team and Nicolás Varrone drove for the team in selected rounds.[18][19]

For the 2020 season, Sasakorn Chaimongkol stayed with Hillspeed for his third BRDC F3 season. The team signed Oliver Clarke for the second car.[20]

Jonathan Browne and Flynn Jackes drove for the team for a part-time basis in 2021, when the BRDC F3 was renamed to GB3 Championship.[21][22]

2022 saw the team field only one car for Canadian driver Nick Gilkes.[23][24]

In 2023, the team partnered with Hitech Grand Prix to field two Hitech GP Academy drivers: Gerrard Xie and Daniel Mavlyutov.[25]

Hillspeed signed Indian driver Aditya Kulkarni for the team's only full-time entry in the 2024 season.[26] Later, they added Marcus Luzio for their GB3 squad for selected rounds.[27]

The team entered 2025 without any full-time entry, instead, Hillspeed's 2025 GB3 squad consisted of multiple part-time entries: Freddie Slater, Kanato Le, Hiyu Yamakoshi,[28][29] Michael Shin, Yuanpu Cui,[30][31] Lucas Fluxá,[32] Newman Chi and Maxim Rehm.[33][34]
