Recently crowned USF Juniors champion Max Taylor will contest this weekend’s GB3 round at Donington Park with Arden.
The 16-year-old American began karting in 2020 and has spent the last two seasons racing on IndyCar’s support bill with Velocity Racing Development.
He came sixth in USF Juniors in 2023 before returning to take the title this year with three victories, while also competing on the next step of the ladder in USF2000 where he won four times and was third in the standings.
VRD has already fulfilled its maximum entry of three cars for this weekend in GB3, so Taylor will be run instead by Arden, which has provided support to the American outfit in GB3 again this season. He was third quickest in last week’s Donington Park test day.
“I’m so excited to make my debut in GB3 this weekend at Donington Park,” said Taylor. “After an amazing season in America I am ready to tackle this challenge with the Arden team. I have a lot of confidence in the team and the people around me, so we’ll be hoping for a strong result.”
“We’re delighted to be racing with Max Taylor at Donington Park,” added Arden’s team principal Garry Horner. “Having worked with him before we can already recognise that he has a lot of talent, and the way he built up his speed at Donington was very impressive, especially considering his series inexperience compared to the other drivers on track. We’re excited to see how he gets on this weekend.”
He isn’t the only driver joining GB3 for the Donington Park round, with Freddie Slater already confirmed to be debuting with Rodin Motorsport while Fortec Motorsports has signed karting graduate Alex Kattoulas who will make his first car racing starts.
