Frederick Barclay Lubin (born 23 August 2004) is a British racing driver. He competed in the FIA World Endurance Championship for United Autosports.[2]

Early life and education

From London, Lubin is the grandson of Sir Frederick Hugh Barclay[3] and of British-Japanese and American heritage. He attended the Halcyon London International School in Marylebone.[4]

Early career

F4 British Championship

After beginning his karting career at the comparatively late age of 14, Lubin made his single-seater debut in the F4 British Championship in 2020, partnering Alex Connor and Roman Bilinski as the only rookie at the TRS Arden Junior Team.[5][6] He started off the season with relative success, scoring points in all three races at Donington Park.[7] However, Lubin was unable to score another hattrick of points until the fifth round of the campaign at Thruxton.[8] After an off in the first Silverstone race Lubin did not finish a race outside of a points-scoring position again, leading him on to take ninth in the standings at the end of the year.[9][10] In addition, he also managed to win six races in the rookie cup and came second in that class, only losing out to Christian Mansell.[11]

GB3 Championship

In 2021 Lubin progressed to the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship.[12] He remained with Arden and was once again joined by Alex Connor.[13] The Brit once again started his campaign in convincing fashion, getting two fourth-placed finishes in the second race at Brands Hatch and Silverstone respectively, and was even outscoring his teammate at that time. Before the third round however, Lubin had to withdraw following a diagnosis that he had myocarditis, rendering him unable to compete.[14] He returned for the fifth event, held at the Snetterton Circuit, where he would finish all three races in the top eight, with a best finish of fifth in race two.[15][16] Throughout the following rounds the Briton would continue scoring regular top-ten-finishes, before finishing off the campaign by taking a pair of podiums at the final two reversed-grid races of the year.[17][18] This pair of third places would elevate Lubin to eleventh in the standings.

Euroformula Open

Having competed in three rounds of the Formula Regional Asian Championship with Evans GP at the start of 2022, Lubin made a move to the Euroformula Open Championship with Team Motopark.[19][20] Two runner-up finishes in the opening round at Estoril brought a strong start to the campaign, although Lubin would be unable to take a place on the rostrum until Race 1 in Hungary, by which stage he had fallen far behind championship leader and teammate Oliver Goethe.[21][22] More podiums came in Imola and Monza, before the Briton won the final race of the season in Barcelona, thus taking his first victory in single-seater racing and finishing fourth in the drivers' championship.[23][24]

Sportscar career

At the end of 2022, Lubin took his maiden step into sportscar racing, teaming up with Vector Sport during the post-season test of the FIA World Endurance Championship at the Bahrain Circuit.[25][26]

Going into the 2023 season, it would be announced that Lubin would compete for United Autosports in the WEC.[27][28] At the season opener in Sebring, Lubin and his teammates Filipe Albuquerque and Phil Hanson profited from a loss of drive from the initially leading sister car to end up finishing second, being beaten only by the non-championship #48 Jota entry.[29][30] Another runner-up finish followed at Portimão, where the #22 crew narrowly lost out on victory to the United #23.[31]

Following a top-five finish in Belgium, which helped them maintain their championship lead, the grid migrated to France for the 24 Hours of Le Mans.[32] There, Lubin became involved in an incident which cost his team several laps of repair time, as he lost control whilst trying to overtake the GTE of Mikkel O. Pedersen on the run-off area after Tetre Rouge, causing his car to collide with the Porsche.[33][34] Having slid off course a few hours later as well, Lubin finished the race eleventh in class.[35][36] After missing out on a podium at Monza, Lubin contributed towards a runner-up finish in Fuji, despite being ill throughout the weekend.[37][38] A ninth place in Bahrain concluded the campaign, meaning that Lubin would finish third in the LMP2 standings.[39]
