Cooper Webster joins Evans GP for GB4 campaign

Aussie Cooper Webster will make the jump to the UK to compete in the GB4 championship with Evans GP.

The 19-year-old Victorian is the first signing for the Australian team, heading to European competition after two years in the S5000 Australian Drivers Championship.

"It’s an amazing opportunity to race in the UK on some world class tracks and against some top drivers," said Webster, sharing his excitement about the move.

"For sure it will be a big challenge, but I am ready to give it everything and can't wait to get the season started."

The signing is a natural fit for team owner Josh Evans, who said the team would focus in part on providing opportunities for Australasian drivers.

"We are really looking forward to working with Cooper for the upcoming season," said Evans.

"He has been performing well in Australia, with a strong karting background and his transition to cars has been a real standout."

"He’s already achieved several wins in the S5000 this year, so he's in good form heading into the GB4 season."

The 2023 GB4 Championship begins 8-10 April in Cheshire at Oulton Park.
