During the awards ceremony for the 2022 FIA season, the President of the FIA Karting Commission Akbar Ebrahim reminded us that karting is an essential step for drivers wishing to gain experience at an early age with the ambition of developing later in motor sport, as well as being a discipline in its own right that is widely practised by many drivers throughout the world.

Sebastián Montoya will join Hitech Grand Prix for his first FIA Formula 3 campaign this season the team have confirmed. The 17-year-old is part of the Red Bull Junior Team, freshly signed ahead of the 2023 season. The Colombian made two appearances last year across the Zandvoort race weekend with Campos Racing and tested with Hitech in Jerez in last year’s post-season test.

The new cooperation came from the long experience of WSK Promotion in the world of karting and from Tatuus world leadership in motor racing with the aim to promote driver's career.

Arden VRD has confirmed that Canadian driver Nico Christodoulou will return to the team for a full-season assault on the 2023 GB3 Championship. The 17-year-old joined the championship with Arden during the third weekend of the 2022 season at Donington Park, as part of the team’s newly-established connection with the Velocity Racing Development team, whom he had raced for in the USA through 2021 and the early part of last year. Arden’s strengthened ties with VRD for this season means Christodoulou returns for the entire campaign this time around, with both team and driver looking to mount a title challenge. 

Chris Dittmann Racing has confirmed that Arthur Rogeon will join the team in the GB3 Championship for the next two seasons. The talented young French racer will commence his maiden car racing campaign during the opening round at Oulton Park in three months’ time.
