Welsh karting contender Neirin Evans will step up to the 2025 GB4 Championship with Rossoverde Scorpio Racing.
 

The 16-year-old only began his karting career at the age of 13 after sampling indoor karting as a 12-year-old but quickly demonstrated his potential by being signed up to the Castle Combe Autumn Junior Championship.
 

The Cardiff resident has also competed in the Daniel Ricciardo Series and reached the World Karting Finals in Milan. He is a member of the Young Racing Driver Academy, with previous alumni including F1 race winner Oscar Piastri.
 

His first experience in a single-seater came at the end of 2024 when he tested previous-generation GB4 machinery. Since then, he’s completed further tests in the new Tatuus MSV GB4-025 car with Rossoverde Scorpio Racing at both Silverstone and Donington Park.
 

He now makes the step into car racing for the first time, with mentorship from former Formula 2 racer Calan Williams, while balancing his A Level studies at the prestigious Radley College.
 

Neirin Evans said: "Having stepped up from two years karting with the Daniel Ricciardo Series, I am now very much looking forward to the great challenge of my rookie season in single-seaters. I’m delighted to have signed to Rossoverde Scorpio for the 2025 GB4 Championship – I tested for several teams earlier this year but it was their positivity and supportive attitude, coupled with their 75 combined years of motorsport success, that made it an easy decision to race with Rossoverde Scorpio. It’s an honour to take their first seat, and I’m sure I will learn a lot from their experience, starting this weekend at the iconic Donington Park circuit."
 

Rossoverde Scorpio Racing Team Principal Louis Kershaw said: "We are very excited to be out racing with Nye this weekend. Despite limited pre-season testing, he has shown a lot of potential and has come on leaps and bounds in the days we have done. He is also a great lad to work with, he has shown he has character, something I feel is very important in a racing driver. Furthermore, he is really passionate about what he is trying to achieve and just wants to drive the car all day long! It will be a baptism of fire without doubt, but we are very much looking forward to seeing how he gets on in a competitive field."
