While the RAFA Racing Team has been making headlines across multiple championships in the US this year, the RAFA Racing Club brand is also set to have a massive European presence in 2025.
Not only will the brand be represented by the RAFA Racing Club by RACELAB McLaren team, but every entry in the GT4 European Series will showcase the RAFA brand across the windshield, with RAFA Racing Club being the presenting sponsor for the championship again in 2025.
The seven-round series kicks off next week at Circuit Paul Ricard near Marseille and includes some classic European venues, including Zandvoort, Spa-Francorchamps, Misano, Nurburgring, and Barcelona.
RAFA Racing Club by RACELAB today revealed its line-up for the championship with a two-car McLaren Artura GT4 line-up.
British racer Aston Millar will team up with Dane Julius Dinesen, while young stars Callum Davies & Charlie Hart will form an all-UK pairing in the other car.
“I’m very proud of the strong lineup we have to take on the toughest GT4 championship in the world,” said Jon Lancaster, who has worked alongside both RAFA Racing Club by RACELAB and the two young guns, Davies and Hart.
“We have a brilliant mix of pure young talent in Callum, Julius and Charlie, combined with a proven GT4 winner in Aston. We have all the ingredients to aim for the top spot and bring even more success to RAFA Racing Club by RACELAB.”
Davies and Hart combined to finish third in the 2025 GT4 Winter Series earlier this year, winning at the Algarve International Circuit and Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
“RACELAB is super excited to have a great partnership with the RAFA Racing club for the 2025 season and to have such strong driver pairings as Callum and Charlie and, of course, Julius and Aston,” said Euan Hankey, RAFA Racing Club by RACELAB sporting director.
“This will be our first year racing in European GT4. However, we had a very strong showing across the winter series, proving that we can fight strong on the circuit with the best of the pack.
“I’m really looking forward to the season opener and can’t wait to see what these boys can achieve over the coming months.”
RAFA Racing Club founder Rafael Martinez raced the McLaren Artura GT4 last season in Europe alongside Jem Hepworth.
“I’m looking forward to seeing the RAFA Racing Club by RACELAB guys in action in Europe this year and will certainly be cheering them on. They have put together a very talented young line-up, and I’m excited to see their development,” Martinez said.
“The GT4 Europe season is a brilliant championship with incredible venues, and we’re very proud to again be the presenting sponsor of the series again in 2025.”
