Fox Motorsport has announced that new Fiesta Junior Champion Sid Smith will step up to the team’s all-new GB4 Championship line-up in 2023.

The 16-year-old, who will race alongside Liam McNeilly, is no stranger to Fox Motorsport. The team is based just a few miles from his home in Maldon, Essex - and he contested three Ginetta Junior events with the team during the latter stages of this year.

Debuting in the main championship at Silverstone in September, he scored a magnificent top-six finish in the Rookie category and improved on that with a pair of class podiums in the Winter Series at Brands Hatch and third place in the standings.

Between events he clinched the BRSCC Fiesta Junior title with six victories and 15 podium finishes across the 17-race season. 

Sid, son of Le Mans 24 Hours class winner Rob Smith, is supported by Green Recycling and Romac Logistics.

Fox Motorsport recently took delivery of three Tatuus chassis and intend to run an additional driver alongside Sid and Liam in 2023.
