Chris Dittmann Racing has confirmed that Mercedes-AMG F1 Team Junior Programme member Rashid Al Dhaheri will join the team for selected rounds of the 2025 GB3 Championship.
The 16-year-old Emirati has competed in the F4 Italian and Euro 4 Championships over the past two seasons, alongside appearances in F4 South East Asia, F4 UAE, Formula Trophy UAE, and the Macau Grand Prix, securing five victories and 14 podiums.
Before making the transition to single-seaters, Rashid enjoyed a highly successful karting career, winning the 2019 WSK Super Master Series and WSK Euro Series in the 60 Mini category. He later claimed another Super Master title in OK-Junior before progressing to OK karts and ultimately stepping up to Formula 4.
So far in 2025, Rashid has already recorded three podium finishes in the Formula Regional Middle East Championship and will also compete in the Formula Regional European Championship, alongside his GB3 campaign.
Rashid Al Dhaheri said: “I am thrilled to join the GB3 series and grateful to Chris Dittmann Racing for the opportunity to join in selected rounds. Having never raced in the UK before, I eagerly look forward to taking on the legendary Silverstone circuit. I’m excited to experience the new GB3 car firsthand and can’t wait to get behind the wheel soon.”
Chris Dittmann, Team Principal said: "We’re delighted to welcome Rashid to the team for his GB3 Championship debut. He’s already built an impressive racing CV across multiple F4 series and has demonstrated great racecraft and consistency. GB3 will be another step in his development, and with the debut of the new car this season, it’s an exciting time to be joining the grid. We’re looking forward to working with him and helping him maximise his potential in every race he competes in."
