Robin Hawthorn

Robin Hawthorn is a Gravel Racing League driver who currently drives for Castrol. He is yet to win a race with a second place finish at Catalunya being his best finish to date.

Shell (Season One)
Before the season began, there was speculation about where Hawthorn was heading with rumours linking him with Castrol and Shell. He accepted Shell's offer to become lead driver at the Dutch team. He was partnered by fellow British driver Ross Bramley. However, Hawthorn's first season didn't start at all well when he and team-mate Bramley failed to start the first race at Sebring. Hawthorn managed to keep his seat despite not starting races at Road America and Road Atlanta. This turned out to be a decent decision from the Shell team with Hawthorn securing regular 4th and 5th places throughout the year. This provided Shell much needed stability which also gave the team a base to build upon. However, despite Hawthorn's best efforts, Shell announced their departure in late October. This decision left Hawthorn's future in the air, although he had been linked with the likes of Abarth and Castrol. On the 6th December, after weeks of speculation Hawthorn signed with the Castrol team.

Castrol (Season Two -
After replacing Golden, Robin was placed alongside Edward Knight at Castrol.
