Hitech Pulse-Eight have become the fifth team to confirm their lineup announcing that Cian Shields will be driving for them in the 2024 Formula 3 season.
The 18 year old moves up to the third tier off the back of a successful campaign in the Euroformula Open Championship this year. He earned the Vice Champion title with four wins and 10 podiums to his name.
Shields got his first taste of the F3 car during the three post-season tests, earning the sixth-fastest time of the second day of running in Jerez.
Shields’ karting career began in 2016, with him going on to achieve third in the IAME Winter Cup X30 Junior category two years later, before being crowned Champion in the IAME Series Benelux Junior category in 2019.
Graduating to single seaters in 2022, he competed in the GB3 Championship with Hitech, he finished 13th in the standings, securing one victory and two podiums across the season.
He will be reuniting with the British team to partner compatriot Luke Browning and fellow rookie, Martinius Stenshorne next season.
I am excited to join Hitech in FIA F3 next year. It will be a new challenge for me, but one I am looking forward to. Having raced with the team in GB3 in 2022, I have every confidence that they will allow me to develop in my rookie season in the series. Looking forward to getting the season started in Bahrain!
Shields on the news.
We are delighted to add Cian to our Formula 3 line-up for next season. We are confident in his ability, having raced with the team in GB3 last year and taking a win and podiums together. Here’s to a successful season ahead!
Paul Bellringer, Hitech’s F3 Team Manager.
