American driver David Morales switches to JHR Developments for his second GB3 campaign.
The 19-year-old from Florida scored a podium during his debut GB3 campaign in 2022, and has already tasted victory this year with a triumph at Highlands Motorsport Park in the Formula Regional Oceania Championship.
Since his car racing debut in 2019, Morales has taken podiums in Formula 4 in Britain and Mexico, plus in Formula Regional Asia, and also added sports cars to his CV last year with races in both a Praga and a Radical.
JHR scored its first GB3 race win last year with Matthew Rees at Brands Hatch, and Morales joins the Welshman and F4 graduate Joseph Loake in the Derbyshire squad’s full three-car line-up.
