Australian youngster Jack Taylor will remain at Fortec Motorsports for his second season racing in GB4.
The teenaged Tasmanian came eighth in the inaugural Indian Formula 4 season last year with a best finish of fourth from the four-round campaign.
Prior to that he had picked up single-seater experience with tests in Formula Ford and F4 cars in his home country and was nominated by Motorsport Australia to participate in the Ferrari Driver Academy’s Asia-Pacific scouting camp.
His first campaign in Europe, driving GB4’s first-generation F4 cars, resulted in a podium finish at Silverstone and ninth place in the standings. GB4 will introduce a new car next season, which features various upgrades including the halo cockpit protection device.
“I’m incredibly happy to be returning to the GB4 championship with Fortec Motorsports. 2024 was a fantastic year; it was one of our best seasons in terms of both learning and gaining invaluable experience, and I genuinely enjoyed every step of it thanks to the amazing support from the team,” said Taylor.
“The new car looks really exciting, and I can’t wait to get back behind the wheel and start testing for 2025. I’m looking forward to building on everything we achieved last season and aiming even higher.”
Fortec’s team principal Ollie Dutton added: “We’re really looking forward to working with Jack again this year in the GB4 championship. He’s a young driver with good potential, and it’s been impressive to watch his progress so far. Moving all the way from Australia was a big step, and it demonstrated just how dedicated he is and how hard he’s willing to work to reach his goals.”
