MEET COLIN

Colin Queen is one of the brightest talents to emerge from the US in recent times, and will embark on a full campaign in the GB3 Championship with renowned single seater team Fortec Motorsport in 2024.

The 18-year-old has been racing for almost a decade, with plenty of success. Most recently, Colin competed in the GB4 Championship with an impressive 9 podiums in his rookie year. In 2022, he was vice-champion of the UK’s notoriously competitive Formula Ford Championship, and won the 'Triple Crown’ in the same season.

His consistent, front-running performances caught the attention of MSV, promoter of GB4, and at the end of 2022, Queen was evaluated and chosen over two other promising talents to win a £20,000 scholarship towards his 2023 plans.

That paved the way for the California native to join Fortec, a team with an established history of helping young drivers through the single seater ladder. A glance at their Hall of Fame throws up names including Charles Leclerc, Daniel Ricciardo, Juan-Pablo Montoya, Heikki Kovalainen and Indy 500 winner Marcus Ericcson.

GB3 will be Colin’s toughest challenge to-date. Testing pace has been very promising, and everything looks positive ahead of the season opener at Oulton Park in late March.
