The Australian driver, who boasts a solid background in junior single-seater categories, is set to further extend his European experience in the top-level Eurocup-3 international championship with the Alzira-based outfit

GriffinCore Campos Racing is pleased to announce the signing of Patrick Heuzenroeder for its line-up in the 2026 Eurocup-3 season. The arrival of the Australian driver follows the recently announced addition of Thomas Strauven, further strengthening the team’s talent roster as it sets its sights on the most ambitious objectives for the upcoming campaign.

Born in Sydney, Heuzenroeder, following in the footsteps of many fellow Antipodean drivers, moved to the United Kingdom in 2023 to compete first in British Formula 4 and then, in 2024, in the GB3 Championship. Showing a clear upward trajectory, Heuzenroeder secured the GB3 Vice Champion spot in 2025 after claiming one victory and five podium finishes. This came on the back of a strong fourth-place finish in Formula Regional Oceania, a series in which he also took one win and three third-place results. Heuzenroeder is mentored by former F1 driver and Le Mans winner, David Brabham.

Heuzenroeder is now preparing to take on a continental championship in Europe at the wheel of a latest-generation, higher-performance single-seater, the Dallara 326-Toyota, which he will race on some of the finest circuits in Europe next year. The season will get underway at Le Castellet on 2–3 May, before heading to the Algarve on 6–7 June. The championship will then visit Italy twice, first at Imola on 4–5 July and later at Monza on 1–2 August. The venue for the fifth round, scheduled for 8–9 August, has yet to be confirmed. After the summer break, the series will resume at Silverstone on 12–13 September and continue at the Hungaroring on 24–25 October. The curtain will fall on the 2026 season at its traditional finale in Barcelona, over the weekend of 7–8 November.

Adrián Campos (Team Principal of Campos Racing): “I would like to welcome Patrick to GriffinCore Campos Racing. We will do everything we can to help him adapt to the team so that he can deliver his very best from the outset. He already has experience and success in several types of single-seaters and, although the Dallara 326-Toyota will be another new car for him, I am confident that his previous seasons provide him with a very interesting and valuable foundation for Eurocup-3.”

Patrick Heuzenroeder (GriffinCore Campos Racing driver in Eurocup-3): “2025 was a break-through season for me and it was rewarding to see the interest the top teams had in me for the coming year. Accepting the offer of a seat in GriffinCore Campos Racing was an easy decision. The Team’s performance has always been impressive, and their Teams’ Championship win in FIA Formula 3 just proved what they can do. The opportunity to develop and race the Dallara 326-Toyota is something I’m really looking forward to, and the Eurocup-3 Championship is proving itself as the series to race in if you want to prepare for FIA Formula 3. I’m raring to go and my goal is the Championship win for GriffinCore Campos Racing.”

Patrick Heuzenroeder crowned Vice Champion in thrilling GB3 Season Finale at Monza

Australian racing talent Patrick Heuzenroeder delivered in a dramatic final round of the 2025 GB3 Championship at the iconic Autodromo Nazionale Monza, securing the Vice Champion title after a weekend of intense competition, and high-stakes and high speed racing.

Heading into the season finale at the famous Temple of Speed, Heuzenroeder held a 33 point lead over 3rd placed competitor meaning it was all to play for on his first visit to the famous circuit at Monza having had his lead dramatically narrowed following two unfortunate DNFs in which he was an innocent victim in the prior two rounds.

After strong official practice performances on Friday, Heuzenroeder held provisional pole in Qualifying 1 until the final lap, narrowly missing out on pole position by only 0.003 seconds – an incredibly close margin across the 5km plus track. Qualifying 2 saw some traffic but another strong performance with P3, again only 0.002 seconds off P2 – a testament to his technical precision and pace around the high speed Monza track.

In Race 1, Heuzenroeder started from P2 and immediately began applying pressure on the race leader which he continued to apply throughout the race. But with passing being so difficult as the cars reached maximum speed on the long Monza straights, despite his fast pace, he could only cross the line in second place, extending his lead in the championship points to 38.

Sunday morning’s Race 2 proved more challenging. Starting from P3, Heuzenroeder’s hopes were yet again to take a hit, dashed on the opening lap after a yet another racing incident forced him into a third DNF in three rounds, intensifying the fight for the runner-up spot in the championship between three drivers heading into the final race, his lead reduced to a 14 point gap between 2nd and 4th in the Championship standings.

With everything on the line, the reverse-grid Race 3 set the stage for one of the most exciting drives of the season. Lining up P10, and with both championship contenders starting ahead of him, Heuzenroeder needed a P5 to be sure of securing Vice Champion for 2025. A less than ideal get away and some first corner action saw Heuzenroeder pushed wide and dropping briefly to P14 after just two laps, whilst his championship rivals each took their turn leading the race. Undeterred, Patrick launched a stunning comeback, carving his way through the field with impressive overtakes, particularly the high speed passes in the famous and daunting 2nd Lesmo and Ascari curves. Setting multiple fastest laps along the way, he made up an amazing 9 places, ultimately to cross the line in P5.

With his rivals only able to secure P2 and P3 respectively in the race, Heuzenroeder secured enough points to be officially crowned the 2025 GB3 Vice Champion – a remarkable achievement after a year of impressive consistency and hard work. The achievement is all the more impressive given his team, Xcel Motorsport, is a brand new team to the Championship, able to take it to Championship rivals who between them have won every GB3 Championship over the past 6 years, and securing a P3 in the Teams’ Championship fight.

“It was an absolutely rollercoaster weekend,” said Heuzenroeder. “Qualifying was insanely close, and Race 1 felt great to be fighting at the front with real pace and a solid drive for P2. Race 2 was really tough to take, but I knew I had to get back up and give everything in the final race. My drive back up to P5 following the difficult first laps in Race 3 is one of the most rewarding races of my career – I delivered under pressure and am very happy with that performance. Such huge thanks to my team, my mentor David Brabham, my family and everyone who’s supported me this season.”

Heuzenroeder ends the 2025 GB3 season with a win and 4 podiums to his name, demonstrating consistency and impressive race craft, and earning a reputation for being a fierce competitor – he is one to watch.tps://www.gb-3.net

About Patrick Heuzenroeder

Patrick is a 19-year-old Australian racing driver currently battling for the lead in the British GB3 Championship after finishing 4th in the 2025 Toyota Formula Regional Championship in New Zealand and competing in 2024 in the British formula 3 series, GB3. Patrick is mentored by ex-F1 driver and 3x winner of Le Mans 24 Hour, David, Brabham, son of Sir Jack Brabham 3x F1 World Champion.

Patrick embarked on his motorsport career at 13-years-old after a chance visit to Sydney’s Eastern Creek go-kart circuit ignited his passion for racing. After kart racing in Australia for the following three years, Patrick made the jump to cars and circuit racing, competing in the 2022 NSW Formula Ford Championship where he was third overall in the standings before departing for the UK after his skill was recognised by Ferrari when Patrick earned a top six finals place from 24 competitors in the 2022 Ferrari Driver Academy Asia Pacific trials.

2023 brought a season in British Formula 4 where the highlight of multiple top ten finishes in a competitive field of more than 20 drivers was an impressive third place at the demanding Snetterton track in Norfolk. For 2024 he moved up a gear and into GB3, Britain’s top single seater series, where he once again established himself as a regular points scorer and top five finisher.

Most recently in the Formula Regional Oceania Championship in New Zealand Heuzenroeder has showed he can compete with the best from F2, F3, Indy Next and V8 Supercars, finishing in fourth place in the Championship with nine top 5 finishes and four podiums.

Some bold racing and some great overtaking at the Donington Park GP Circuit in Round 7 of the GB3 Championship saw Pat Heuzenroeder extend his 2nd place lead in the Championship over the weekend, but his chance of an overall Championship win evaporated with another reverse grid DNF when the victim of two other cars coming together!

Heuzenroeder once again demonstrated his racing instincts to continue his string of top echelon finishes, this time around finishing P4 in Race 1 and P4 in Race 2 (after starting in 8th position) and a DNF in Race 3, the reverse grid race which saw him starting in P9.

With some mixed and wild weather over the official practice day leading up to the race, and gale force winds during qualifying and Race 1, qualifying was a mixed bag, with a P4 for Qualifying 1, but only P8 in Qualifying 2 which saw a wet track, not to the liking of the set up of Heuzenroeder’s Tatuus machinery.

Race 1, which was dry, saw a great overtake on the fourth placed driver in the Championship, a solid haul of points., extending his lead on third placed drivers in the Championship by 8 points.
In Race 2, starting 8th Heuzenroeder executed a strong pass into turn 1 on lap 3 before setting off after the leaders, with a further impressive overtaking into the old hairpin, to gain 4th position, and then managing to hold off a DRS assisted chasing pack into a strong headwind down the main straight. With another P4 to his name after starting P8, Heuzenroeder gained a further 10 points over 3rd place.
Race 3, the reverse grid race, which sees the top 12 reversed, saw Heuzenroeder start P9 but two competing cars coming together in the old chicane saw one catapulted into the side of his car and a DNF. The second DNF in a reverse grid race through no fault of his own in two rounds!

Pat: “Another weekend of some good points, but very frustrating to again suffer the result of other driver’s actions which has let first place in the Championship fall out of my grasp. The whole team has worked incredibly hard and we never lost hope so that’s tough to take” said Pat. “Still to extend my 2nd place lead in the Championship is a good position to be in and I’m looking forward to Monza, which will be my first time racing at that legendary track.”

Next up in GB3 — the UK’s premier single-seater series — Round 8 at the legendary Monza Circuit, set for October 17-19.

Australian driver Pat Heuzenroeder delivered another consistent showing in Round 6 of the GB3 Championship, securing valuable points to retain second place in the championship standings with just two rounds remaining.

Qualifying saw Heuzenroeder demonstrate pace and consistency, taking P4 in both Q1 and Q2.

In Race 1, he converted his starting spot into a solid P4 finish, resisting pressure to bring home important points.

Race 2 once again tested his race craft, with Heuzenroeder showcasing sharp defensive skills to fend off challengers and hold P4 all the way to the chequered flag.

Starting P9 in the reverse grid Race 3, Heuzenroeder launched off the line with a superb getaway, climbing to P6 within the opening laps. Unfortunately, contact from behind forced his first DNF of the season, cutting short what promised to be another strong result.

Despite the setback, Heuzenroeder remains firmly second in the championship, a testament to his consistent front-running pace across the year and teamwork with the Xcel Motorsport team.

Speaking after the weekend, Heuzenroeder said:
“Overall, I’m happy with the points we scored. We showed good pace and defended strongly when it mattered. Race 3 was a disappointing finish, but that’s racing. The important thing is we’re still second in the championship, and I’m really motivated to finish the season strongly.”

With two rounds remaining, Heuzenroeder heads into the closing stages of the GB3 Championship in a commanding position, determined to continue his impressive campaign.

Next up in GB3 — the UK’s premier single-seater series — is Round 7 at the Donington GP Circuit, set for August 22–24.

Heuzenroeder in the fight with stunning charge through the field at GB3 Round 3!

Young Australian GB3 driver Pat Heuzenroeder has finished round 3 of the GB3 Championship which was held this weekend at Spa Francorchamps with a stunning run through the field from last place to finish P4, achieving fastest lap of the race and keeping his championship hopes alive after a challenging weekend!

Round 3 of the GB3 Championship, the UK’s leading single seater category, took place in the legendary circuit Spa Francorchamps, one of 5 Formula 1 circuits on the 2025 calendar.

After a dominant performance two weeks ago   in Zandvoort which saw a win and second place and him take the lead in the drivers’ standings, this weekend saw Heuzenroeder get another good haul of points in the fight for the championship title. After a challenging qualifying and race 1 and 2 struggling with a car lacking pace on the long straights of this famous circuit, finishing P7 and P12 a wet Spa Francorchamps on Sunday morning saw Heuzenroeder line up P3 for Race 3. Initially electing, like most of the field, to start on wet tyres, Heuzenroeder made the gutsy call during the formation lap to pit and change for slicks, effectively demoting him to P23 and a delayed start from pit lane behind two other drivers.

However, after some challenging first laps managing a still wet Eau Rouge and other famous corners, a drying track saw him charge through the field, in just 9 laps moving from P23 to achieve P4! Whilst a number of other drivers started on slicks and more changed during the race it was some skilful driving and a fair share of brave moves that saw him slice through the field, achieving the fastest lap of the race by a margin of 0.9 seconds, and ending the final lap in an amazing P4 after passing 19 other drivers!

The stunning drive helped bag some good points and, despite the challenging race 1 and 2, he stays in the fight currently P2 in Championship, only 8 points adrift.

The next round sees the Championship head to yet another legendary F1 circuit as it travels to Hungaroring in early July – a circuit that saw Heuzenroeder take 3 top 5 finishes last year!
