Louis Sharp was crowned as the new GB3 champion on the final day of the season at Brands Hatch.

Here are the full thoughts from the new champion, who took five wins on the way to the title.

“I’m super happy. I have to give a big thank you to everyone at Rodin Motorsport team; they’ve done a mega job this year. Obviously my rookie season in GB3 and they got me up to speed very quickly and have obviously turned out to be quite a good team. I knew that; it’s my third year with the team and I really can’t ask for much better and my success is really down to them, so a huge thank you to them.”

“I grew up in New Zealand and have a lot of family members here in the UK. A big thank you to all of them for coming out to support me this weekend. Big, big thank you to them.”

“I’m so grateful to be in this position. I don’t think very many people go F4 and then the next year win the GB3 championship, so I’m very lucky and very happy. I’ve got to give a big thank you to the whole team, my dad, who’s been over here with me the whole step of the way, and my success is down to him and my family and friends not only in New Zealand but the UK as well. A big, big thank you to everyone involved.”

“I think we’ll stick around for a little bit more, but obviously prepared for next year and then over Christmas we will go back and see all the family.”

Sharp will now prepare for an FIA F3 test, his prize for winning the title, but he remained tight-lipped on what the future holds beyond that.

“I can’t give too many secrets away just yet, but we’ll be moving on from GB3 and taking that next step up, so we’ll just have to see what it is.”
