Caroline moves into GT3 with Ferguson and RAM Racing
Jamie Caroline will make a full-time return to British GT this season and will step up to the GT3 category in a RAM Racing Mercedes-amg GT3, partnering John Ferguson.
Caroline, who beat Oscar Piastri and Logan Sargeant to win the 2017 British F4 crown, made a successful switch to sportscars in 2020 by winning British GT’S GT4 title in an Aston Martin. Last year he switched to the GT4 European Series in a Mercedes, but returned to the British championship to partner Ferguson for the final two rounds aboard the Speedworks Toyota Supra in GT4.
The 23-year-old will now continue his partnership with Ferguson, who was frequently plagued by bad luck in his first season of British GT last year, but scored two third places at Silverstone and Snetterton alongside Scott Mckenna.
Caroline said 2022 will be “the most important year of my career yet”. “I’m so excited for this chance,” he said. “I’ve been trying to get into GT3 for the last few years and I’m ready to grab this chance with both hands.
“I know that to achieve what I want to, which is to become a factory driver, I need to show what I can do at the highest level, and I know I’ve got the right team and the right car to do that this year.”
RAM boss Dan Shufflebottom has lauded the Caroline-ferguson axis as “a real future-proof pairing”. “Jamie is a star of the future, no doubt,” he said. “I have no doubts that both will adapt really well to the Mercedes, and I look forward to seeing how they progress across the year.”
