Learning from karts and from teammates: How I Race with Callum Voisin

A race-winner and multiple podium sitter in Formula 3, Callum Voisin certainly knows what he is doing in a race car. So, we sat down with him to talk us through his approach when in the cockpit.

The Rodin Motorsport driver takes us through the origin of his car setup choices, how he has adapted over the years, and learning from his 2025 teammates about the new car.

“Well, it's always a tricky one, because everyone has a different feel in terms of what is a baseline. But for me everybody always says I like a car with a lot of front end, a very pointy car, both in low speed and high speed. For me, it doesn't feel like super pointy, but everybody says it's super pointy.

“I think for sure the early karts I drove have played a role in that. In karting I was quite used to an understeer-y kart, but I was taught not to like it, and especially my years in GB3, you get to do a lot of testing, especially during the winter.

“I think I got so used to a car with so much front end, that without it, it was scary to drive sometimes, especially when I first got in it. I think now I have just gotten used to it, and it's how I get the best out of myself.

“It's a little bit different from my teammates. I am probably still a little bit on the extreme side, but it's not a huge difference, but for sure a little.

“Last year, it was quite different. I was always very much on a different end compared to my teammates.

“I think being the latest on the brakes is always more exciting, but it's not always quicker for lap time. So, I tend to try to be whichever is quickest for lap time.

“I probably sacrifice a little bit on the entry and gain a bit at the exit, most of the time.

“It does depend on the circuit though. It depends on what happens after the corner, is it a long straight, is it straight into another corner, there are a lot of other things that come into it, and can bring about change, it's not just the one thing.

“I also think the change in tyres over the years has affected my driving style a bit more. For example, last year's F3 car is different to this year's car, so the way you want to drive it is quite different.

“So it was different in GB3, and in Ginetta Juniors, the tyres are different, that was a road tyre, so that was quite different in the way you drove it, so tyres make a big difference in the way you drive.

WHAT WE LEARNED: The big lessons from Round 7 at Silverstone

“Wheel-to-wheel, I tend to want to cover one side. But it's so instinctive that it's hard to know what exactly I'll be doing.

“It depends where you are in the race, it depends on your pace, whether you think the car behind is quick or struggling, it changes every time. I like to put up a bit of fight, but it depends on the conditions and the scenario.

“You are always taking things from your teammates. For example, this year's car is different to last year's car, so especially during the winter, watching what they were doing, what worked quite well and I picked off all the good bits. You are learning from your teammates all the time.”
