Rodin Motorsport have announced that Joseph Loake will be racing for them in FIA Formula 3 in 2024.
The 18 year old is making the move to Formula 3 after enjoying a stellar season racing in the GB3 Championship in which he finished third overall, scoring four wins to go along with eight podiums and three pole positions.
Loake started his single seater career back in 2019, where he went to BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship, even though he missed the opening round he still went on to finish second in the Championship.
A year later, he came back for a second year in the series, he won all eight races and clinched the championship at Croft, where he won the title 50 points ahead of his nearest rival.
The Brit then moved onto Formula 4 in 2021, where he took 3 wins, 5 podiums on the way to finish 6th.
He done a second consecutive season with JHR Developments where he grabbed four wins, two poles and 9 podiums on the way to finish 5th.
In 2023, Loake moved onto GB3 Championship, but stuck with JHR Development for the third year running. He took four wins, three poles and eight podiums to finish 3rd overall.
In December 2023, Loake was also named as the winner of the Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year award, and is set to receive a test drive with Aston Martin.
I’m so pleased to be moving to the FIA F3 Championship for the upcoming season. To have been given the incredible opportunity to race in such a fantastic championship with Rodin Motorsport is something I could have only dreamed of a few months ago, so I cannot wait to get cracking and make the most of it.
Loake on the news.
Joseph is a driver who has already done great things in his short career. He’s adapted well to every car he’s ever driven and I’m really looking forward to seeing what he can do behind the wheel of the F3 car. While it’s going to, no doubt, be a big challenge for him I have confidence that he will work well with the team and put everything into the upcoming year. I can’t wait to start working together.
