Carlin is one of the most successful single-seater motorsport teams outside of F1.

When Carlin Motorsport was reborn as Capsicum Motorsport Limited in 2009, it brought with it an era of financial stability. Now trading under the name of Carlin, the team continues to build on a track record that began with the team’s first full season of racing in 1999. Narain Karthikeyan was the first driver to win a race for Carlin, with a British F3 win at Brands Hatch. The team went on to win six races that season, signalling the potential that would make Carlin the most successful team in British F3 history.

Since its inception, Carlin has competed in Porsche Supercup, Nissan World Series, Formula BMW UK, World Series by Renault and F3 Euro Series with race winning success.

One of the most successful single-seater teams outside F1, Carlin has won over 185 races and claimed six British F3 championships and the 2010 Formula Renault 3.5 drivers’ title. Whatever the level of motorsport or the age of the driver, Carlin always aim to give their race drivers the equipment to be able to challenge for race wins.

With an enviable reputation across all levels of single seater racing, Carlin is the team of choice for tomorrow's racing stars - providing a well-trodden staircase to F1. Over 175 drivers have passed through the doors of the team, many on their way to the highest echelons of the sport, including F1 drivers Kimi Raikkonen, Jenson Button, Nico Rosberg, Robert Kubica, Sebastian Vettel and Jaime Alguersuari.

In 2011, Carlin’s race teams will provide a ladder from junior racing to the door of F1, incorporating British F3, GP3, Formula Renault 3.5 and the GP2 Series.
