Australian driver Costa Toparis makes his UK racing debut in the GB3 Championship with Rodin Carlin this season. 

Toparis raced with the then Carlin team for the first time at the Abu Dhabi F4 Trophy late last year. Joining fellow-Rodin backed driver Louis Sharp, Toparis claimed a fourth-place finish in race one of the event which supported the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. 

Following the move of car manufacturer Rodin Cars to majority shareholder of the now re-branded Rodin Carlin race team, Toparis will race in their familiar colours this season. Prior to the GB3 step-up, Toparis was Formula 4 NSW champion in his homeland, and a multiple karting champion.
