Faria and Sagrera join Carlin in GB3

Carlin has completed its 2022 GB3 Championship line-up after snapping up Roberto Faria and Javier Sagrera to partner Callum Voisin this season.

Eighteen-year-old Brazilian Faria competed full-time last season in GB3 with Fortec, after contesting several 2020 rounds. He finished fifth in the standings, with one victory in the reversed-grid race at Spa and a further eight podiums.

Spaniard Sagrera, also 18, was another ever-present in

2021, when he placed 10th in the standings with Elite Motorsport, with one podium.

The GB3 Championship, which begins at Oulton Park on 16-18 April, will introduce a new model of car this year, which will produce more downforce and power than its predecessor.

Team boss Trevor Carlin said: “I’m delighted to welcome Roberto and Javier to the team. Together with Callum, we have a really strong line-up this season and I’m excited to see what they can do.

“The new car makes everything a level playing field again, so there will be a lot of hard work ahead, but I feel we have three drivers capable of winning, which is a fantastic position to be as a team.”

The 16-year-old Voisin makes the jump into singleseaters this term after finishing sixth – with seven race wins – in his debut season of Ginetta Junior last year.
