    Xie, who competed in his maiden season in the Championship last year, joins Nicola Lacorte and Nandhavud Bhirombhakdi at the French team.

    The Chinese driver claimed the 2022 Chinese F4 title before moving through to GB3 and eventually FIA F3 in 2025.

    Xie said he was happy to be at DAMS for his second season in F3 and excited to begin working with the team.

    Joining DAMS Lucas Oil for 2026 is a great opportunity for me. DAMS Lucas Oil is a highly respected team with a strong history in single-seaters. I’m looking forward to working closely with everyone and giving my very best throughout the season.

  • Gerrard Xie signs with HiTech

    Hitech Pulse-Eight have confirmed that Gerrard Xie will be driving for them in FIA Formula 3 next year, becoming their first signing for the 2025 season.

    Xie stepped up to single seater racing from karting and had instant success by winning the 2022 Chinese F4 Championship with 13 victories in 14 races.
    That same he year he also won the Formula Renault Super Challenge and finished second in the Macau Grand Prix.

    In 2023, he competed in GB3 Championship driving for Hillspeed, where he achieved one win after a difficult season.
    Xie, then returned for a second campaign this year with Hitech, he ended the season seventh in the standings, with three podiums including a win.

    I’m thrilled to be making the step up to FIA Formula 3, and to be doing so with Hitech. t’s been a strong season for me and the team in GB3 and I’m proud of everything we achieved together. The results were there but we also had a bit of bad luck along the way that could have brought us even greater success in both title fights. I feel ready and I hope to play a big part in ensuring Hitech’s F3 challenge is as strong as it was this season.
    Xie on the news.

    It is always exciting and rewarding for us to see one of our young drivers progressing through the ranks with Hitech. Gerrard has been ‘there’ throughout the GB3 Championship season. As well as his impressive victory and podium finishes, he has consistently been in the hunt for many more podiums, and racked up the strong points finishes that secured him seventh in the Drivers’ title and contributed so much to Hitech securing the runner-up spot in the Teams’ battle. Gerrard is ready for Formula 3. I’m confident he will be a significant force within our line-up for next season and we’ll be able to fight for both Championship titles once again.
