The 2022 GB4 Championship blasted into life at Snetterton less than two weeks ago, and the second round of the inaugural season takes place at Cheshire’s Oulton Park this weekend (16/18 April). Qualifying and three races are on the schedule once more, as well as two busy days of pre-event testing on Thursday and Friday.
Nikolas Taylor, Alex Walker and Megan Gilkes were the winners at Snetterton, and the trio of races this weekend could well see other names join their ranks, with Tom Mills, Max Marzorati, Jarrod Waberski and Elias Adestam impressing with podiums in Norfolk. All three races this weekend will again feature a class-leading live streaming package featuring build-up and post-race analysis, plus interviews, hosted by Jon Jackson with commentary from Lewis McGlade.
Here’s the full schedule for this week, and details of how visitors to www.gb-4.net can follow all the on track activity.

12.00-12.40 – Test session two
