Argenti Motorsport will expand into GB3 next season through a technical partnership with junior single-seater powerhouse Prema.
Argenti, which is owned by two-time Porsche Carrera Cup GB champion and British Formula 3 National class race-winner Michael Meadows, began as a karting team before moving into British Formula 4 in 2020 by taking over the cars previously run by Double R Racing.
The Banbury-based squad has won 10 races during its five years in British F4, while Casper Stevenson came third in the standings in 2020 and Matias Zagazeta was runner-up the following year as Argenti drivers.
It will race in GB3 under the Argenti with Prema banner and is the second new team to join the grid for 2025, with Xcel Motorsport having announced a planned two-car entry last week.
GB3 is introducing a brand new car for next season, and will also race at Monza for the first time, as it aims to attract grids of up to 30 cars.
“We are excited to be making the move in to the GB3 championship for 2025, ” said Meadows. “As a team, we have enjoyed notable successes in both karting and F4, so this is a natural progression for us. Doing so as the championship introduces a new car makes a lot of sense, and we’re excited to begin working with the Tatuus MSV GB3-025.
“To make this move by forming a technical partnership with Prema, one of the most successful single-seater teams of all-time, highlights our commitment and ambition with this project. We are confident that through this partnership we will be able to be very competitive and look forward to starting.”
Prema’s involvement is its first in a Britain-based single-seater championship, the Italian outfit having accumulated a huge number of junior single-seater titles in its homeland and across Europe during its illustrious 41-year history.
“We’re looking forward to embarking on our technical partnership with Argenti Motorsport and competing in the GB3 championship,” said Prema’s team principal Rene Rosin. “The launch of a new car is always exciting, and it falls in line nicely with our current programmes.”
