Australian Dominance and Ninovic's Lead at GB3 Hungaroring Event
The GB3 Championship's recent Hungaroring round showcased a remarkable display of talent, particularly from the Australian contingent. Alex Ninovic of Rodin Motorsport further solidified his championship lead, securing his third victory of the season in the second race. This performance underscores his consistent pursuit of the title as the championship reaches its midpoint. The Hungaroring weekend was also notable for fellow Australian and Rodin Motorsport teammate, Gianmarco Pradel, who clinched his inaugural series win in the opening race, demonstrating the team's formidable presence on the track.
The first race saw Pradel making a decisive move off the starting line, surpassing pole-sitter Keanu Al Azhari and establishing an early lead. Despite an intervening safety car period, Pradel maintained his composure and extended his advantage, ultimately securing a comfortable three-second victory. The battle for the podium intensified behind him, with Al Azhari and Ninovic vying for position. In the second race, Ninovic capitalized on his pole position, fending off challenges from Al Azhari and managing to build a decisive lead. His triumph at Hungaroring adds to his earlier successes at Zandvoort and Spa-Francorchamps, highlighting his exceptional form this season. The final race of the weekend saw Reza Seewooruthun deliver a dominant performance, achieving a breakthrough win for the Argenti with Prema alliance with a commanding 16.6-second lead, a margin only surpassed once in series history by Lando Norris.
As the championship now looks towards Silverstone in August, Ninovic enjoys a significant 34-point lead over his closest rival, Patrick Heuzenroeder. The strong showing by Rodin Motorsport, with both Ninovic and Pradel occupying top positions, paints a promising picture for the team. This event not only affirmed Ninovic's leading status but also introduced new contenders and memorable moments, promising an exhilarating second half of the GB3 season.
