Tio Ellinas and Aaro Vainio were the two race winners at the first weekend of the 2013 GP3 Series at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain.

A Monza Race 1 win and second place in Race 2 brought Daniel Abt agonizingly close to the GP3 title, but Mitch Evans still just edged him thanks to the points he won for pole position, despite failing to score in either race itself.

The GP3 Series will see its first female driver on the starting grid, after Trident Racing announced it had signed up Vicky Piria for 2012.
