[edit] History
Originally found in 1996 by Trevor Carlin and Martin Stone, Carlin has competed in Porsche Supercup, Nissan World Series, Formula BMW UK, World Series by Renault and F3 Euro Series with race winning success.
Narain Karthikeyan was the first driver to win a race for Carlin, with a British F3 win at Brands Hatch in 1999. The team went on to win six races that season, signalling the potential that would make Carlin the most successful team in British F3 history.
One of the most successful single-seater teams outside F1, Carlin has won over 185 races across various categories. In 2010, the team clinched the Formula Renault 3.5 drivers' title with Mikhail Aleshin and its sixth British F3 title with Jean-Éric Vergne.
Carlin has provided a well-trodden staircase to F1. Over 175 drivers have passed through the doors of the team, many on their way to the highest echelons of the sport, including F1 drivers Jenson Button, Nico Rosberg, Robert Kubica, Sebastian Vettel, Jaime Alguersuari, Daniel Ricciardo and Narain Karthikeyan.
In 2011, Carlin’s race teams continue to provide a ladder to F1, incorporating British F3, GP3, Formula Renault 3.5 and the GP2 Series.
[edit] Other ventures
In the 2005-06 A1 Grand Prix season, Carlin were contracted to run the Lebanon[2] and Portugal[3] entries.
In April 2006, Trevor Carlin confirmed that the team had applied for a place in the Formula One World Championship from the 2008 season,[4] although this was later rejected, in favour of the Prodrive application. They were linked with applying again in 2011, but the team denied this insisting it was concentrating on success in the junior formulas.[5]
At the end of 2009 Carlin Motorsport was reborn as Capsicum Motorsport Limited, bringing to the team an era of financial stability. Now trading under the name of Carlin, the team continues to build on a track record that began with the team’s first full season of racing in 1999.
