Random fact about me: GB3 is my first full season racing outside of Brazil
Douglas Motorsport has signed up Brazilian rising star Lucas Staico for the 2023 GB3 Championship.
The Northamptonshire team head into their 11th consecutive season in the UK’s premier single-seater championship off the back of a successful 2022 campaign, in which all three of their drivers took race wins and secured a total of seven podium finishes.
An incredible karting career for Staico saw him win more than 20 titles across Brazil and South America, before he stepped up to single-seaters last year to contest the inaugural season of the F4 Brazilian Championship.
A phenomenal debut campaign saw the 17-year-old finish as the runner-up in the championship. Nine podium finishes across the season included three race wins, with two of those successes coming at Interlagos, home of the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix.
