Single-seater giants Rodin Motorsport are set to step into the world of GT racing for the first time, confirming a full-blown British GT Championship assault in 2026 with the latest Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo.

The outfit, still best known for its GB3 front-running operation and international presence in FIA F2, FIA F3 and F1 Academy, hasn’t raced anything with a roof in its long and decorated history. Formerly the hugely successful Carlin organisation, the team adopted the Rodin identity following the company’s takeover in 2023 and now competes under New Zealand colours.

Its GT3 debut will be built around Ferrari’s heavily updated 296 GT3 Evo—an evolution of the model launched in 2022 and already proven across global GT racing. Driver details remain under wraps, but expectations will inevitably be high given the team’s pedigree in talent development.

“We’re excited to add British GT to our programme for 2026,” said sporting director Benn Huntingford. “It’s a highly competitive series with real depth, and we’ll approach it with the same standards we apply across all of our operations.”

Rodin Cars founder David Dicker emphasised the significance of the move: “Rodin is always looking for new challenges. GT3 is one of the most competitive categories in motorsport worldwide, and joining with Ferrari makes this step even more special.”

While Rodin is a newcomer to British GT, Dicker isn’t entirely unfamiliar with the championship’s history. In 2002 he purchased the only Sintura S99, the rare GT1 machine that dazzled the British GT paddock in the late ’90s, along with its spare chassis and moulds. After more than two decades out of sight, the S99 resurfaced in 2024 when displayed alongside its spiritual successor, the V10-powered Rodin Sintura, ahead of the World Time Attack Challenge in Australia.

Rodin’s push into GT3 marks one of the biggest storylines ahead of the 2026 season—and brings one of the sport’s most recognisable names into the British GT top class.
