Archie Bullard will remain with Fox Motorsport for the inaugural GB4 Winter Series in 2026, extending his relationship with the team following his rookie campaign in the championship.
The 19-year-old from Cobham, Surrey, will compete in the four-race event at Snetterton on 24–25 October. Bullard will reunite with 2025 main-season team-mate Jasser Iskander and line up alongside rookie Rob Crawford, completing a three-car Fox Motorsport entry for the end-of-season event.
The Winter Series gives Bullard another opportunity to build on the progress made during his first year of car racing. After arriving in GB4 with a relatively short competitive background, he developed throughout the season and produced several notable recovery drives, particularly during the second half of the campaign.
Bullard continues rapid progression from karting to GB4
Bullard only stepped into a go-kart for the first time in 2023 at the age of 16, initially competing in single-circuit and regional championships. Despite his late introduction to competitive motorsport, he quickly accumulated an extensive record in karting over the following three seasons.
He collected more than 200 race victories and over 300 podium finishes during that period, while also securing 14 championship titles. His successes included a clean sweep of the Daytona D-Max series in 2024 before he made the transition into single-seater racing.
Bullard joined Fox Motorsport for his car racing debut in GB4 during 2026. His rookie season was characterised by an aggressive overtaking style and an ability to make progress through the field, with several of his strongest results coming after difficult starting positions.
Donington Park provided one of the first significant breakthroughs of his campaign. Bullard secured his maiden overall top-10 finish at the circuit while also taking his first Rookie class podium, giving him an early indication of the progress he was making in his first season outside karting.
Strong recovery drives highlight rookie season
Bullard added two further Rookie podiums later in the campaign, with both results coming after substantial gains during the races.
At the second visits to Silverstone and Donington Park, he gained at least 12 positions on track to work his way back into contention. Those performances underlined one of the strongest elements of his rookie season, with Bullard regularly demonstrating confidence when attempting overtakes despite his limited experience in cars.
The Snetterton Winter Series now gives him another chance to apply the lessons from his first full GB4 campaign before preparations begin for 2027.
Bullard believes remaining with Fox Motorsport will provide useful continuity as he looks to end the year strongly.
“I’m really excited to extend my season and race in the GB4 Winter Series. I’ve learned so much with Fox Motorsport in my rookie season and it’ll be really good to put all of that into practice at Snetterton – a track I know pretty well from both testing and racing.”
His familiarity with both the circuit and team gives him an established base heading into the four-race weekend, while he also expects Fox Motorsport’s three-driver line-up to be competitive.
“I think myself, Jasser [Iskander] and Rob [Crawford] make a good line-up and I’m sure we can put together some good results to take into the winter as we start to make our plans for 2027.”
McNeilly praises Bullard’s natural racecraft
Fox Motorsport Team Principal Paul McNeilly highlighted Bullard’s racecraft as one of the most impressive aspects of his first season in single-seaters.
“It’s brilliant to have Archie back on board for the GB4 Winter Series. His racecraft was immediately impressive from the first race of the season and his confidence to try a passing move has always been evident – it’s actually very rare to see this in a driver with so little experience of car racing of high-level karting, but it seems to come very naturally to him.”
While Bullard’s ability in race situations developed quickly, qualifying has been an area of particular focus throughout the season. Fox Motorsport has worked with the teenager to improve his one-lap performance and give him stronger starting positions from which to use his race pace.
McNeilly believes that progress could prove important at Snetterton.
“We’ve worked hard on Archie’s qualifying form across the season and if he can put all he’s learned into practice at Snetterton, I’m sure he can come away with some really good results.”
Fox Motorsport completes Winter Series line-up
Bullard’s confirmation completes Fox Motorsport’s line-up for the inaugural GB4 Winter Series, with Iskander and Crawford already set to compete at Snetterton.
The event offers Bullard an opportunity to conclude his first season of car racing with additional mileage at a circuit he already knows well. It will also provide another reference point as he and Fox Motorsport begin considering their plans for 2027.
After showing consistent progress and producing several strong recovery drives during his rookie campaign, Bullard will now aim to convert that experience into more complete weekends as the GB4 season concludes with its first Winter Series.
