Career
[edit]Karting and single-seaters (2017–2026)
[edit]Born in Sweden, Raber had his first taste of karting at the age of eight at Kristianstad,[1] but waited until the age of 13 to begin karting on a competitive basis.[2] After racing with Xcel Motorsport during his brief stint in competitive karts, Raber joined them for his step-up to single-seaters in 2024, in the F4 British Championship.[3] In his rookie season, which was disrupted by a hand injury at Thruxton,[4] Raber took a best result of ninth in the reverse-grid race at Brands Hatch to end the year 21st in the overall standings.[5]
In late 2024, Raber joined Yas Heat Racing to compete in that year's Formula Trophy UAE and the F4 Middle East Championship.[6][7][8] In the former, Raber scored his first career podium at the season-ending race at Yas Marina en route to an 11th-place points finish.[9] In F4 Middle East, Raber took his maiden career win in the reverse-grid race of the second Yas Marina round,[10] and scored an additional podium at Lusail to take eighth in points.[11]
Returning to the F4 British Championship for the rest of 2025, Raber switched to Phinsys by Argenti for his second season in the series.[12] After scoring two wins at Donington Park and a lone win at Snetterton to take an early championship lead,[13][14] Raber then only scored four other podiums in the remaining rounds as he slipped to seventh by the end of the season.[15][16] During 2025, Raber also competed for Argenti with Prema in the Silverstone and Monza rounds of the GB3 Championship.[17] In early 2026, Raber joined Pinnacle Motorsport to compete in the four-round Formula Regional Middle East Trophy,[18] taking a best result of 19th at Dubai and finishing last in points.[19]
Sportscars (2025–)
[edit]In late 2025, Raber made his debut in sportscar racing, competing at the Gulf 12 Hours for Porsche-fielding Car Collection Motorsport,[20] finishing sixth among the Pro-Am entries.[21] Following his FRMET campaign, Raber ventured to sportscars full-time for the rest of 2026, joining Brutal Fish by Campos to compete in the LMP3 class of the Le Mans Cup alongside Arthur Rogeon.[22] After retiring in the first two races, Raber scored his maiden win at the Road to Le Mans from pole.[23][24]
