British-Finnish racer Flame Airikkala makes GB4 debut, completing a capacity three-car line-up at Pace Performance. 

The 18-year-old is the granddaughter of rallying legend Pentti Airikkala, and already has racing experience to count on across the past couple of seasons.

Flame’s racing debut came in the 2023 Fiesta Junior Championship, with her best result being a second place. Last year she completed several GB4 test days in the previous generation chassis and competed in her first single seater race, Formula Nordic in Sweden. Since then, she’s gained further single-seater experience with tests in Japanese F4 machinery.

The start of the 2025 season saw Flame participate in a Tarmac Stage Rally at Snetterton, and then a Radical Cup UK race weekend at the start of June, claiming a sixth place finish in a competitive field.
