Zandvoort resident Bas Visser will make his car racing debut in the GB4 Championship at Silverstone this weekend (27/28 April), with the Graham Brunton Racing team. 

Visser graduates to single-seaters with only modest karting experience under his belt in his homeland, having raced and won predominantly in categories operated by Formula Karting in the Netherlands, including the Dutch Rental Kart Championship. 

As well as his karting exploits, the 17-year-old has tested F4 specification machinery over the last year, and sampled a GB4 car for the first time at the Oulton Park pre-season test with the team in March.

At the Cheshire circuit, Visser showed plenty of promise, as he improved his lap times by more than eight seconds across just three sessions of running, at one of the most challenging layouts on the calendar.

He now makes the step up to car racing with the Scottish squad for the remainder of the season, joining rising Canadian stars Callum Baxter and Mayer Deonarine in the capacity three-car line-up.
