GB3 Championship
Bilinski moved into the GB3 Championship to replace Frederick Lubin, who had fallen ill, at Arden International.[5] The Pole experienced a very strong debut weekend, with three finishes in the top five with only 1 day of testing.[6] His next weekend would be even more successful: after finishing third in the first race, Bilinski became the first Polish driver to win a race in British F3.[7] Snetterton was up next, and there Bilinski showed blistering pace, finishing third in the first and second race, and then won race 3 on Sunday, becoming the only driver to score a podium at every race on the same weekend that year.[8] Bilinski won another race at Oulton Park and ended his season in seventh in the standings, beating both of his teammates with only a part season.

At the start of 2024, Bilinski made his debut in the Formula Regional Oceania Championship with M2 Competition.[10] He ended the season as the champion, with six wins and a further six podiums.[11]
For his main campaign, Bilinski remained with Trident for a third straight season in the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship.[12] He achieved his first pole in the series in Spa-Francorchamps and he would later finish in second, giving him his first podium of his campaign.[13] Unfortunately for Bilinski, he was hospitalised in a road accident just before the Zandvoort round and was forced to withdraw from the event.[14] Bilinski later revealed he had undergone surgery to fix two broken vertebrae from the road accident, forcing him to step away from racing for the time being.[15]
FIA Formula 3 Championship
After three years in Formula Regional, Bilinski stepped up to Formula 3 for 2025, joining Rodin Motorsport alongside GB3 champions Callum Voisin and Louis Sharp.[16] He finished 11th in the standings, winning the Sprint in Monza, and standing on podium twice, in season-opening sprint in Melbourne and during the main race in Monaco.[17]
