Evans GP has confirmed the signing of Taiwanese-American racer Thomas Lee, who will join its GB4 team for the 2023 season alongside already announced teammate Cooper Webster.
Lee has been competing in selected GT events and track days across the Middle East and United States, but will make his single-seater racing debut with GB4 at Oulton Park in April, following a pre-season testing programme with the team.
As well as his on track exploits, Thomas is the founder of premium motorsport-inspired apparel brand OLOI Inc, and online motoring blog DriveDOPE.
Thomas Lee said: “I can’t wait to join the 2023 GB4 Championship with Evans GP. I’ve worked with Josh over the last few years as a team partner, and it’s exciting to now be part of the team as an official driver. The Evans team and Oloi Inc have a successful track record working together, having achieved second in the Formula Regional Asia Team Championship in our debut season. We will be working hard to build on this success in future in a new environment.
“I’m looking forward to learning the GB4 car and racing on some of the UK’s best tracks. It’s a big step from what I’ve been doing previously but I will treat it as a learning year and build up step-by-step. It will also be a new experience racing in front of the large crowds that the MotorSport Vision events attract with other categories including the GB3 and British GT Championships.”
Team Owner Josh Evans said: “As a team we are really looking forward to working with Thomas for the upcoming season. He has a deep passion for motorsport and will be a great addition to our driver line-up. I have been lucky enough to have known and worked with Thomas for the last three years. We’ve achieved a lot together, and he’s assisted many drivers in progressing their careers, so I’m excited to now help him make the transition to race driving himself.”
