Lights-To-Flag Maiden GB4 Win For Willis At Silverstone GP

Connor Willis produced an outstanding performance in the final GB4 Championship partnered by the BRDC race of the weekend at Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit on Sunday, 2nd August, to seal his maiden race victory in the series and, with it, Hillspeed’s first win of 2026.

Lining-up on pole position for round 12 of the season, the American led from lights-to-flag and handled a mid-race Safety Car re-start perfectly. Making no mistakes throughout, Willis’ first podium visit of his rookie GB4 campaign was a leap straight to the top step.

“I don’t know where to start, I’m really out of words”, said an elated Willis after the race, “We’ve been working so hard this weekend, and the boys have been incredible – to end the weekend on a win means so much. We’ve been working so hard, finally for that work to pay off is incredible.

“We knew we were starting on pole, my first time on the front row, and we just prepared well going into it. We’ve been working so hard, it was bound to come soon. We’re just so happy, thanks to all my partners, everyone in the team, and a big shout out to all of the charities we have onboard and to my parents. There are so many people who deserve this win, not just me – it’s really a dream.”
