Dayton Coulthard is joining Douglas Motorsport as a driver for 2025, and will compete in the GB4 Championship.
This will be Dayton’s first season in single-seater racing. The 16-year-old began karting in 2019 and progressed through the ranks, starting with Cadets, before moving through Junior and Senior X30 in the British Kart Championship. Dayton concluded his 2024 karting season by winning the WM plate at Whilton Mill.
It will be both Dayton’s and Douglas Motorsport’s first season in the GB4 Championship, which includes seven rounds from April through to October. The Northamptonshire-based team is entering GB4 for the first time this year with the new Tatuus MSV GB4-025 car, following multiple race-winning campaigns in GB3.
Dayton’s testing programme has already begun, and today (Thursday) he’s driving with the team at Donington Park. His winter testing programme will include future sessions at Donington, as well as at Silverstone, Oulton Park and Pembrey. Dayton plans to maximise every opportunity this season, as he continues to learn, develop and hone his promising race craft.

Dayton Coulthard said: “I’m looking forward to working with Douglas Motorsport for the 2025 GB4 season. Moving into cars means I’ll have plenty to learn and I believe that the team can definitely help with my development.”
Wayne Douglas, Douglas Motorsport Team Principal: “We’re extremely excited to be working with Dayton as he prepares for his first races in single-seaters. He’s shown lots of promise so far with good progression, and we look forward to working with him to develop that talent as the season progresses. The jump from karting to single-seaters is a big one, but one that Dayton is ready for, and we’re hopeful of ever stronger results as he gains further experience.”
