Jarrod Waberski (born 20 September 2005) is a South African racing driver who last competed in the 2026 British GT Championship for Barwell Motorsport, and is the runner up of the 2022 GB4 Championship.
Early career
Karting
Waberski is a third generation racing driver and the son of former racing driver Garth Waberski, who drove in series such as Formula Renault UK and British Formula 3, the elder Waberski also won the 2004 Can-Am South Africa Championship. The younger Waberski showed talent in the South African karting scene and won the 2013, 2017 and 2018 SA Regional Championship, he also won the 2018 South African Karting Championship as well. He competed in the 2018 WSK Open Cup in the OKJ category, where he came in 27th.
Junior formulae
Waberski made his single-seater debut in the 2020 South African Formula 1600 National Championship, where he competed in three races and claimed one podium, finishing the championship in seventh position with one podium to his name, he came runner-up the 2021 South African Formula 1600 National Championship, as he took his maiden single-seater win and amassed nine podiums in that years campaign.
GB4 Championship
Waberski was announced to compete in the inaugural season of the 2022 GB4 Championship with Kevin Mills Racing. He kicked off his campaign at Snetterton Circuit, where he would get his maiden podium in the series in only his second race. At the next round in Oulton Park, he would get two more podiums, with then one in his third race being his maiden win in the series. Waberski would go on to score three more victories in the championship, two of which came in the final round at Donington Park. These victories enabled Waberski to take second in the standings in an impressive rookie season in Europe.
GB3 Championship
2023 After his successful year in GB4, Waberski joined forces with Fortec Motorsport as he stepped up to join the 2023 GB3 Championship. Waberski had a strong opening round, with a best result of fifth in the reverse-grid race, where he gained ten extra points for achieving ten overtakes over the course of the race. He scored his first podium two rounds later at Spa-Francorchamps. This third-placed finish would turn out to be Waberski's best result of the season, as he finished ninth in the standings, a respectable result considering the strength of the grid over the course of the season.
2024 In early 2024, it was announced that Waberski would be returning to the championship for the 2024 season, this time joining Elite Motorsport. He stated that his "main goal" was "to win the championship". He started the season well, securing a podium in the first round at Oulton Park. Unfortunately for Waberski, this would also end up being his best result of the season, as he scored two further podiums over the course of the season at the Hungaroring and at Silverstone. However, Waberski had a very consistent season as he scored points in every race of the season. This consistency led him to sixth in the standings, finishing above Gerrard Xie, the driver he had been competing with over the 23 races that were held over the course of the year.

After making a cameo in the 2023 GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup, Waberski fully switched to sportscar racing after the 2024 season and drove for Century Motorsport in the Silver category of the 2025 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup with Mex Jansen and Will Moore.
