Motorsport’s youngest talent is backed by Stonham Barns Park
Tom Lebbon – who is sponsored by Stonham Barns Park – has put in an outstanding finish to the GB3 season with a fourth win at the final weekend at Donington Park.
Bury St Edmunds-based Tom went into the weekend holding fifth position in the standings. After a weekend of intense racing Tom secured the points to elevate him into the top three of the UK’s premier single seat championship. It was a great podium finish and the question is where will he be next year?
Before recently taking up British Formula 3 (GB3) motorsport, the teenage race car driver Tom excelled at international level karting all over the world and ending up 4th overall in the European championship and 7th overall in the British Championship and as vice champion in the LGM championship all in 2019.
Tom’s stepped up to car racing at the end of 2019 when he won the Ginetta Junior Scholarship. This was a fully funded season for the 2020 Ginetta Junior Championship grid alongside the ‘TOCA’ race weekends associated with British Touring Car Championship in front of hundreds of thousands of fans and millions of TV viewer on ITV4 per year. Tom then went on to win this championship being the first ever driver to win in their rookie season! In 2021, Tom was the youngest driver on the grid at just 16 in the British Formula 3 (GB3) season.
Speaking about the new sponsorship, Tom who drives for Elite Racing, said: ‘More sponsors have come on board this season which has given me increased confidence in my abilities. Stonham Barns Park has joined the lineup and I am very grateful for the support.’
‘It’s been a season like no other. We have raced to our absolute limits and I am very pleased we did. It’s a great feeling to end on such a high.’
