Rodin Motorsport has confirmed that British racer Freddie Slater will join the team for the penultimate round of the GB3 Championship at Donington Park this weekend (7/8 September).
The British racer, who has already tested GB3 machinery with the team, will get behind the wheel of the Tatuus MSV-022 car for his debut in the Championship, having enjoyed a hugely impressive junior career to date.
A rising star, Slater currently leads the Italian Formula 4 Championship by a considerable margin, having already taken 11 race victories with two rounds yet to run.
Prior to this, Slater had a stunning 2023 campaign in the Ginetta Junior Championship, securing a remarkable 16 wins on his way to clinching the overall title.
Turning 16 recently, Slater is now eligible to race in the GB3 Championship and will make the most of the experience having already spent time testing with the team – including most recently at Donington Park last week.
Slater replaces Ugo Ugochukwu, who returns to his FRECA championship commitments as had been previously agreed at the beginning of the season.
Freddie Slater said: “I’m excited to finally get to race in GB3 with a team like Rodin Motorsport. I really hope to bring in some good results for me and the team at Donington, and get things started in a good way!”
Rodin Motorsport GB3 Team Manager Ricky Taylor said: “We’re pleased to have Freddie on board and have been working with him recently ahead of this debut in the GB3 Championship. He tested with us last week at Donington Park and we already know he works brilliantly with the team so we can’t wait to get this first race weekend underway.”
