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.
The 16-year-old began his karting career in 2017, placing third in the Coupe de France Cadet FFSA during an impressive debut season. He continued to compete in France and across Europe in the following years, most recently appearing in the FIA Karting World Championship in Italy in 2022.
Having experienced his first taste of single-seaters during post-season testing with Chris Dittmann Racing, the teenager impressed with how quickly he found his feet in the Tatuus MSV-022 GB3 car.
The young rookie will benefit from the team’s state-of-the-art simulator and driver development programme to refine his race craft throughout his debut campaign in the championship, with the hopes of competing at the sharp end of the grid as the season continues.
Having signed a two-season deal with the Gloucestershire outfit, Arthur will look to build on the foundations of a learning year by commencing a full championship attack in 2024.
With aspirations of reaching the highest level of motorsport in his future, the Le Mans local will be working tirelessly with the team to prepare for the season ahead where the youngster will be tackling some of the toughest circuits in the UK and Europe.
