Carlin has announced that Japanese investment firm Buzz will be its title sponsor for the 2019 FIA Formula 3 season. Arriving with the title sponsor deal is driver Teppei Natori, who ended the Japanese Formula 4 championship in second place last year.
The title sponsor deal with Buzz will see a departure of Carlin's traditional blue livery to a black and neon yellow design for the F3 cars. Carlin and Buzz first came together at the 2018 Macau Grand Prix, which resulted in a double podium finish for Calum Ilott.
Buzz offers support to young talented people in an effort to aid their future careers. The company was founded by Daisuke Hasegawa, who is a former racing driver. Speaking about the deal, Carlin's Natori says he is excited to take part in the inaugural FIA F3 season.
“I am very excited to be the part of Carlin Buzz Racing in the FIA Formula 3 Championship," the 18-year-old said. "There will be a lot to learn this season, but we will fight hard together for the championship with the aim of becoming an F1 driver in the future."
Team Principal Trevor Carlin added: “We welcome Teppei to the team for the upcoming season following what has been a strong year racing in the Japanese Formula 4 Championship. Teppei already knows how to fight for wins and podiums so we look forward to working together and hitting the ground running during testing ahead of the first race in May.”
In relation to the deal with Buzz, Carlin said: “We’re extremely proud to be carrying the Buzz name and colours on our FIA F3 race cars for the 2019 season. We had a great experience working together for the 2018 Macau Grand Prix and hope this is a relationship that can continue in the future."
Natori becomes the first addition to Carlin's 2019 F3 line-up. The upcoming series is a merge of the former GP3 Series and European Formula 3 Championship, while the European Masters takes the place of the European F3 Championship.
