Charpentier graduates to the UK’s premier single-seater category having competed in the French Formula 4 Championship last year, as he finished fifth overall with six podiums and one win. The 16-year-old will undertake a limited campaign in British Formula 3, where he will race alongside Kenyan Jeremy Wahome and Brit Omar Ismail. Charpentier will also race in the SMP Formula 4 Championship this year.

Charpentier said: “I'm very excited to be racing with Chris Dittmann Racing for the first round of the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship at Oulton Park. It's going to be a big step up for me, as I'm currently also racing in the SMP Formula 4 Championship. The British F3 car will be totally new to me, and I'm really looking forward to working with Chris and the team to learn, progress, and achieve the best results possible.”
