A West Cumbrian racing team has joined forces with South African junior motorsport stars.
RABsport Racing, based in Distington and led by former rally driver Richard Barnard, will work with the young drivers for the 2025 Ginetta Junior Championship
Recognised as the pinnacle of junior motorsport on both national and international stages, the series has nurtured several Formula 1 stars over the years.

Team manager Richard Barnard said: "We are delighted to work with ICAN on this project.
"This is a big step up for us as a team, and we’re ready for the challenge.
"Our goal is to provide the drivers with everything they need to succeed.
"The competition will be fierce, but we’re fully prepared to rise to the occasion."
Elijah Mpho Gumbi, manager of ICAN Motorsport, said: "Our drivers are ready to take on the pinnacle of junior racing, and we have full confidence in Richard and his team to guide them through this crucial transition."
