Xcel Motorsport have announced talented karter Theo Palmer as their first confirmed driver for their 2025 ROKiT British F4 campaign.
14-year-old Theo will compete in the championship from the second round onwards at Silverstone GP, as he does not turn 15 until the beginning of May 2025.
Having been part of the Xcel family for several years, Theo has delivered outstanding performances on the karting circuit, with multiple race wins and an impressive display of pace, skill, and growth.
Theo started karting aged nine, through the Dubai Autodrome Karting Academy. He progressed through the ranks into junior IAME and Rotax categories with Xcel, and is currently driving in the UAE senior category.
He is a multiple race-winner in UAE across Junior and Senior karting categories, and also enjoyed a strong European and UK karting campaign this year, which culminated in a top 8 finish in Junior X30 at Kartmasters GP.
Paul Hardy, Xcel Motorsport Team Manager, said:
“We are absolutely delighted to have Theo racing with us in British F4. He’s been an integral part of our karting programme, and watching his progression has been incredibly rewarding. It’s always exciting to see yet another one of our karting drivers make the transition to F4, and we’re confident that Theo has the talent and determination to make a real impact this season. The whole team is behind him, and we’re looking forward to seeing what he can achieve in 2025.”
