Seewooruthun excited to step up to F3 with Rodin as he lays out goal for 2027

Reza Seewooruthun is aiming for consistency in 2027 as he previewed his rookie Formula 3 season with Rodin Motorsport.

The 20-year-old makes the step up with a solid set of results in single seater racing, including a third-place finish in the 2024 British F4 Championship.

This season, Seewooruthun joined forces with Rodin in the Formula Regional European Championship, where he achieved two podiums.

As he looked ahead to next year, the British driver is delighted to be continuing with the team for this new phase of his career.

“I'm super excited to get going,” he said. “I've always wanted to race in the FIA Formula 3. I think it's one of those vital steps on the pathway, so I’m very happy to be doing it so soon.

“Continuing with Rodin just saves some of the hassle. You already know everyone, and I've also known my engineer a bit from last year, seeing him around the factory and also seeing all the boys on the sim, so it just helps the integration process be a lot smoother.

“Also, I know how the sim works and things like that, so you're not learning new things, so it's not as much compared to if I was to change teams.”

Seewooruthun is the lone rookie in a team that has Pedro Clerot and Alessandro Giusti, two drivers who have had plenty of success in Formula 3.

Speaking at testing, Seewooruthun says he was learning a lot from his teammates, looking over their data to see where he can improve.

“I think just using their data as much as I can,” said Seewooruthun on working with Clerot and Giusti. “It's always good to have fast teammates because it's vital information for me.

“Obviously, they're in their second and third year, so it's just perfect for me. I've got lots of data to go off. I can pester them for information on stuff. Again, it just makes my life a lot easier moving up, makes that process a lot easier.”

Looking more on the track for next season, Seewooruthun picked out the tracks he was most excited to visit and also set out his goals for each race weekend.

“I think just consistently finishing in the top ten,” said Seewooruthun on his goals for 2026. “We know how up and down these championships can be.

“By just finishing inside the top ten, you're within reach of the championship, so I’ve just got to make sure we're there for both races and then.

“I think Jeddah will be cool, or Montreal. Street circuits will be cool, especially with these cars, they're so nice to drive. There's so much traction, lots of downforce, so any of the high-speed tracks I think will be good.”
