Karting champion Rob Crawford confirmed as first GB4 Winter Series entrant with Fox Motorsport

Published on Tuesday, August 11, 2026

Karting champion Rob Crawford confirmed as first GB4 Winter Series entrant with Fox Motorsport

Fox Motorsport has confirmed rookie racer Rob Crawford as the first member of the team’s GB4 Winter Series line-up. The 18-year-old from Southend-on-Sea, Essex, will spearhead a multi-car entry for the outfit from nearby Maldon, in the four-race series at Snetterton on October 24/25.


Rob first came to the attention of the team in late 2024 after he won Brentwood Karting’s ‘Driver of the Year’ award after taking regular podium finishes in the club’s Super League competition just over a year after he first sat in a go-kart. That led to a prize test drive in the team’s Ginetta Junior racing car at Snetterton in 2025, which was followed in February of this year by a first outing in a Fox-run GB4 car at the same circuit.


Rob, who is supported by Aspire Estate Agents, has continued to race karts in the intervening period, the teenager winning the 2025 Club 73 youth title and the Brentwood Karting All-Stars Cup. This year he has represented Slovakia – his mother’s home country – in the Rotax Racing Club International Finals, while also competing in the Club 100 Senior Rotax Southern Sprint Championship, the RyeHouse ProKarting Series and the Brentwood Super League. Rob is next scheduled to test the Tatuus MSV GB4-025 at Snetterton in September.


The inaugural GB4 Winter Series will take place at the Snetterton 300 circuit on 24/25 October. The two-day event will feature a total of two qualifying sessions and four races, with each day featuring one qualifying and two races. Two days of official testing will take place on 22/23 October, leading up to the event. Click here for more event information, including the current provisional timetable for both testing and racing. 


Rob Crawford: “I’m delighted to join Fox Motorsport for the GB4 Winter Series and to know that my single-seater debut is coming in just over two months’ time. After I tested the Fox Ginetta Junior, I was hoping to put something together in cars as soon as possible, but the extra year in karting has definitely improved my racecraft and being a part of the Fox team in GB4 testing earlier this year has really helped every element of my driving, so I think I’ll be in a much better place to show what I can do by the time the Winter Series comes along. I can’t wait.”
 

Paul McNeilly, Fox Motorsport Team Principal: “We are delighted to welcome Rob to the team for the inaugural GB4 Winter Series and to be the first team to announce our presence. For a driver who sat in a go-kart for the first time just over three years ago, he’s achieved quite a lot and from what we saw when he tested both our Ginetta Junior and our GB4, he has a lot of natural speed and a great deal of potential. The four-race format of the Winter Series should help Rob learn so much more about a single-seater than testing would do, and we think that will be the same for any new driver looking to make the move into GB4 next year, so it’s great that the series has been established.”
