Van Amersfoort Racing has completed its 2023 Formula 3 driver line-up with the signing of Caio Collet, who makes the switch from MP Motorsport.
The Brazilian will enter his third season of the series, after making his debut in 2021. He managed to finish on the podium twice that year.
2022 saw him remain with MP Motorsport, where he earned two Sprint Race victories in Budapest and Zandvoort.
For the 2023 season, Collet is feeling confident about his chances with VAR, which will enter its second F3 season: “Exciting times are coming as I am extremely motivated to get started with Van Amersfoort Racing.
“During their first year in F3, the team proved to everyone how much potential they have. From my side, I am very confident going into the new season.
“I have used the winter period effectively and feel ready, more than I ever did. I have set high goals for myself, and the team is as motivated as I am to take the maximum out of this year, so let the games begin!”
Rob Niessink, CEO of VAR, added: “Caio has shown in the past how fast and talented he is, making it extremely exciting to have him as part of our F3 driver line-up this year
“Caio brings valuable experience to the team, which will help us to grow at an even higher pace than last year.
“Clearly, he is determined to perform strong this year, and so do we as a team. Our motivation levels are really high, the least said, and our crew is very much looking forward to working with an experienced driver as Caio!”
Van Amersfoort finished the 2022 season in sixth and will be hoping to build on that. With Collet, they have completed their line-up, which also includes the returning Rafael Villagómez and rookie Tommy Smith.
