Joseph Loake

Joseph Loake (born 17 April 2005) is a British racing driver who most recently competed in the 2024 FIA Formula 3 Championship for Rodin Motorsport.

[6][8] In 2020, Loake returned to BRSCC Fiesta's Junior Series, where he put in an impressive performance, winning eight of eight races, taking the championship title at Croft, the young racer won a staggering 50 points ahead of his nearest rival.

He made his debut with single-seaters in the 2021 F4 British Championship for JHR Developments, partnering Abbi Pulling, McKenzy Cresswell and Matthew Rees.

[9] During the start of 2022, Loake drove for JHR Developments in the Formula 4 UAE Championship in order to gain extra mileage of the new Tatuus F4-T421.

Knockhill Circuit was a notable round of his season, as in the first race he beat pole sitter and McLaren Junior Driver, Ugo Ugochukwu.

[15] The next two rounds at Thruxton Circuit and Silverstone Circuit were uneventful, as he scored consistent points and a fastest lap and podium in Silverstone, but the final round of Brands Hatch was the highlight of his season, getting his first two poles of the season, getting a double pole and converting them into wins, as he also got double fastest laps in his winning races.

The momentum continued for the next two rounds, leading to his benchmark performance at Brands Hatch, where he scored his second hat-trick of the season, grabbing another podium the next race.

At the final round of the season in Donington Park, Loake was tipped for the title alongside Callum Voisin and Alex Dunne.

While Loake finished the first two races with points to his name, he was forced to retire the third, religating his contention for the title; the win eventually going to his competitor Voisin.
