Arden Team Principal, Garry Horner, commented: “I’m delighted to see our partnership with Alex continue as he makes the step up to the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship for the 2021 season. He’s a proven talent after a successful two-year stint in F4, and his track record really does speak for itself. The time for him to make that step up into F3 is definitely now, and we’re very pleased to welcome him back for what will be a new and exciting challenge for the whole team.”
Alex Connor said: “I’m very happy to have the chance to move up to the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship with Arden.
“The team and the YRDA have supported me from the very start of my racing journey and we all worked very well together in British F4 so I know that we are going to be able to focus 100% on a really strong debut season right from the start.
“The Championship races on some of my favourite tracks, so I can’t wait to tackle them with the extra speed and power of the F3 car – and I know that Spa is going to be awesome!“
