In 2023, New Zealand–based manufacturer Rodin Cars became the majority shareholder of Carlin Motorsport following investment from founder David Dicker in a deal that saw the team rebrand as Rodin Carlin.[1][2] The Carlin family departed the team in late 2023, with Dicker taking full control and renaming the company as Rodin Motorsport.[3][4]
