Douglas Motorsport has signed up Brazilian rising star Lucas Staico for the 2023 GB3 Championship.

The Northamptonshire team head into their 11th consecutive season in the UK’s premier single-seater championship off the back of a successful 2022 campaign, in which all three of their drivers took race wins and secured a total of seven podium finishes.

An incredible karting career for Staico saw him win more than 20 titles across Brazil and South America, before he stepped up to single-seaters last year to contest the inaugural season of the F4 Brazilian Championship.

A phenomenal debut campaign saw the 17-year-old finish as the runner-up in the championship. Nine podium finishes across the season included three race wins, with two of those successes coming at Interlagos, home of the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix.
