Biography

GB4 race winners Oldfield Motorsport will hand a slicks and wings racing debut to 2023 Shootout finalist Nathan Yu across the next three GB4 Championship events. 

The 18-year-old Canadian driver from Richmond Hill, Ontario, will make his first GB4 race appearances with the squad at Donington Park on 25/26 May, and will also compete at Snetterton on 13/14 July, and at the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit on 27/28 July.

Nathan made his car racing debut in Formula Vee Canada at the age of 15, before competing in selected Formula Ford events in the UK in 2022 and 2023. 

As one of the leading teenage contenders in last year’s National Formula Ford Championship, Yu was invited to take part in the GB4 Shootout at Snetterton, where he showed significant progress throughout the day, and improved his lap times by over 11 seconds.

Having completed his studies across the Atlantic, Yu is now gearing up for his maiden GB4 appearances this summer, with the Oldfield Motorsport team that claimed victory during its maiden GB4 event at Silverstone in 2022. He will test the team’s Spanish F4 championship-winning car across the next few weeks, as he prepares for racing action.
