Following over 25 years of the Carlin name being present in motorsport, the team has now been renamed following a major investment made last year.
After 25 years, the famous “Carlin” name in motorsport has disappeared as the team has been renamed to Rodin Motorsport for the upcoming racing season. Rodin Cars, a New Zealand-based manufacturer, became the majority shareholder last year and the team was rebranded as Rodin Carlin. However, founder Trevor Carlin left the team late last year, leading to the rebranding as Rodin Motorsport. The team, based in Farnham, will compete in the FIA Formula 2 and Formula 3 championships this year. The team has a history with current F1 drivers such as Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz, and George Russell when it operated as Carlin. They will enter the F2 championship this year with Zane Maloney and Ritomo Miyata as their drivers. Team owner David Dicker expressed his excitement for this new era and the team’s commitment to racing, developing drivers, and winning.
