Biography

Due to an injury sustained at last weekend’s Zolder 24 Hours, Elite Motorsport’s Emmilio Valentino Del Grosso will miss this weekend’s GB4 race event at Donington Park.

Replacing the Venezuelan in the #5 Elite Motorsport car will be Belgian driver Yani Stevenheydens.

The 20-year-old already races with the team in the GT4 European Series, and has prior single-seater experience in F4 and Eurocup-3. He was the 2024 French F4 runner-up.

Stevenheydens was inside the top-10 in yesterday’s test, which was his first proper go in a Tatuus MSV GB4-025 car, having only ever completed a shakedown beforehand.

While an almost total newcomer to the GB4 car, Stevenheydens' experience means he should be in the mix for strong results this weekend.

Del Grosso will remain with the team at the circuit this weekend, and is aiming to return to GB4 action at next Thursday's test day at Brands Hatch.
