Chip Ganassi Racing (CGR) has launched a new driver development program leveraging its championship-winning formula to create strategic partnerships across motorsports as a development pipeline to the top level of motorsports in North America.

The Arden Motorsport GB3 team will run under the Arden VRD banner in 2023, after further strengthening ties with the USA-based VRD Racing operation. The two companies initially joined forces midway through the 2022 season, with the arrangement allowing VRD’s Canadian driver Nico Christodoulou to race in GB3 with Arden, while the Banbury-based team’s Formula Regional contender Alex Quinn went the other way and competed with VRD in USF2000.
