Taylor Barnard, final driver confirmed on the 2024 grid with PHM Racing

The starting grid for the first meeting of the 2024 FIA season Formula 2 is complete with the signing of the second driver in the PHM Racing team. This is the British Taylor Barnard, who will support the Paraguayan Joshua Dürksen.

From the FIA Formula 3, where he took 10th place in the championship in 2023 with a victory in the Main Race at Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), Taylor Barnard knows the PHM Racing team well having driven in Formula 4 with them. He is also 2nd in the Middle East Regional Formula (FRMEC) before the last two meetings of the 2024 winter season in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

“On behalf of the entire team, I can say that we are beyond excited and happy to have Taylor on board, declared Roland Rehfeld, Sporting Director of PHM Racing. As the winningest driver in the PHM Academy, it makes sense to rate Taylor as the best option to be as successful as possible.

He deserves this chance and so far he has met our expectations in all categories thanks to his dedication, will, natural talent, speed and increasing technical precision. All these efforts have yielded good results, meaning that over the last three rounds of FIA F3 2023, he has been the highest scoring driver in terms of points.

The team is very excited to have these two rookies F2 extremely motivated in the peloton and I expect increasing performances throughout the season and positive and surprising results. »
