South African karting champion Jarrod Waberski will race for Kevin Mills Racing in the 2022 GB4 Championship. The 16-year-old has been competing in the Formula 1600 Championship in his homeland for the past two seasons, and was a podium finisher during his debut event in the category in 2020.
With more experience behind him in 2021, Waberski was runner-up in the same championship last year, and the only driver other than the eventual champion to take a race victory, while also taking eight additional podium finishes. He has continued to race in the series this year, and was a pace setter at the opening round at Killarney Raceway.
Prior to graduating to car racing, Waberski had been a multiple karting champion, taking regional titles in 2013, 2017 and 2018, and the South African title in 2018.
