Oldfield Motorsport confirms USA star Jason Conzo in GB4 line-up for opening rounds

Race-winner Oldfield Motorsport has confirmed that American single-seater ace Jason Conzo will drive for the team in the opening two events of the 2023 GB4 Championship.

The 19-year-old already has circuit racing experience courtesy of two seasons in a Ford Spec Racer 3 (SRF3) in the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) New England region, and then a couple of single-seater campaigns in a Formula Enterprise 2 (FE2) machine in the SCCA Hoosier Super Tour and Major Series. 

His career began at the age of 10 in karting, competing in numerous East Coast US events from Cadet through Tag Senior levels, representing the factory Swiss Hutless team, and placing third in the New York State Championship. 

Upon graduating from karts, success continued as Jason took eight wins from 21 podiums in his SRF3 campaigns, claiming lap records at the Palmer Motorsports Park and Thompson Speedway in the process. 

Moving into single-seaters full-time in 2022 with his FE2 entry, he claimed 13 wins from 16 podium finishes as he became champion in both the SCCA Major North East Conference and the New England Region, while finishing second in the SCCA National Runoffs. He also earned another five track records on the way to his many successes. 

While not racing, Jason is studying Marketing at the State University of New York, enjoys snowboarding, and is a NCAA Division Three Track and Field Pole Vaulter.

He now heads to race in Europe for the first time, and joins Formula Ford front-runners Oldfield Motorsport, who became GB4 race-winners in their debut series appearance at Silverstone last summer. 

Jason Conzo said: "My goal is to bring Oldfield Motorsport to the front of the GB4 grid, and to leverage my US formula racing experience overseas to fight wheel to wheel with some of the best junior drivers in the UK."

Team Principal James Oldfield said: "We are delighted to announce Jason Conzo in our GB4 team for the opening rounds of the 2023 GB4 Championship. The category has really begun to establish itself in the single seater market in the UK and attracting international competitors in the form of new drivers and new teams. Supporting GB3 and the British GT Championship, operated under Jonathan Palmer’s MSV company, GB4 is a very professionally organised and promoted championship that provides a fantastic platform for up-and-coming drivers like Jason to showcase their abilities and learn all the required attributes to becoming a professional racing driver. 

"With a race win at our GB4 Championship debut event at Silverstone last year with Lucas Romanek at the wheel, the team and Jason can feel very confident of heading into these events of more competitive performances possible."
