Fortec Motorsports is delighted to announce that Alexandros Kattoulas will join the team for his single seater debut this weekend (September 7/8) in the GB3 Championship.
The 19-year-old had his first taste of the car at Silverstone in July and returned to the cockpit at last week’s Donington Park test where his pace significantly improved throughout the day.
Alexandros enjoyed a strong karting career, which included being crowned the 2015 ROK Cup Singapore/Asia Cadet Champion and placing second in the Singapore Karting Championship.
Moving across to Europe for 2016, results continued to show great promise, finishing ahead of newly-announced Mercedes F1 driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli on the way to fifth place in the WSK Final Cup – 60 Mini category in the same year.
Sixth place in the Swedish Championship OK Junior division followed the following season, and further progress was made in 2018 with strong showings in the WSK Champions Cup, again in OK Junior.
Following a break in his racing, Alexandros now returns to racing action with Fortec Motorsports in the GB3 Championship, where he will have a final few test sessions before qualifying at Donington Park on Saturday September 7th.
Race one of the weekend is set to take place that afternoon, at 15:10, with races two and three set for 11:12 and 15:20 on Sunday 8th. As ever, all contests can be seen live via MSV TV on YouTube or the series website.

“I’m super excited to race in the GB3 Championship with Fortec Motorsports. It’s been great to work with the team across the past few weeks as we prepare for Donington Park, and I’m looking forward to getting back on track this weekend.”
Oliver Dutton, Team Principal
“Alex has done a great job with us in testing and has got closer to the pace in each session he’s been involved in, at two different circuits. After a long pause in his career, he’s worked really hard to get up to speed quickly, and his karting results demonstrate that he’s got a lot of potential. We’re looking forward to working with him to fully exploit his talent with us.”
