Bianca over the moon
"Wow I honestly can't believe I'm even writing this I'm very excited to take a big step up in my racing career in 2025 by joining the GB3 Championship with Elite Motorsport. A major leap forward from the F4 car!" she said on her post.
Bustamante couldn't contain her excitement especially when trying out their vehicle.
"I spent two days testing with Elite in Spain last week with the old GB3 car, and it was very productive. We got off to a great start together and I felt so connected with the team straight away, a really professional environment."
She added: "It's also been incredible driving higher downforce cars, the GB3 car is very responsive which gives me confidence to find the limits. I absolutely can't wait to jump into the new car in January, really excited to start our 2025 season with Elite in a few weeks time."
Then when looking back at her career, Bustamante reflected on how far she has reached.
"2 years ago, I wouldn't have even dreamed of being able to compete at this level. I'm so thankful to all my sponsors and partners for believing in me and giving me this opportunity, as well as Elite Motorsport for the trust and confidence to give me this chance to join the team."
Such an achievement would push Bustamante to be greater than ever, as she is now preparing for her new beginning.
"I'm going to be pushing myself hard in the gym over the winter, to prepare for the most important season of my career. My heart is so full and just can't wait to get to work!"
