Jarrod Waberski will switch from Fortec Motorsports to Elite Motorsport for his sophomore season in GB3.
The 18-year-old South African was runner-up in the inaugural GB4 season in 2022, winning four races in the Formula 4-spec series, and spent that year with Kevin Mills Racing. He then joined Fortec for the step up to GB3 last year, and came ninth in the standings with one podium finish.
Prior to coming over to the United Kingdom to race, Waberski had spent two seasons in South African F1600 and been championship runner-up in 2021.
“My main goal is to win the championship. It will be tough as there is always a super strong and competitive field in GB3 but I believe Elite and I can definitely win the championship,” said Waberski of his 2024 move.
“The biggest thing I learnt last year was how important it is to be consistent and how important it is to maximise each race.
“Everything just clicked when I joined Elite, with the car and with the whole team! Straight from the first session, I felt at home in their car. It is nice to be back with the team that I had my first ever test with in 2019, in a Ginetta Junior, and so it feels like I’m returning home.
“The way to win the title is all about being consistent, right from the first race to the last one of the season, every qualifying session, every race and every reversed-grid race needs to be maximised throughout the season.”
