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. He started off the season with relative success, scoring points in all three races at Donington Park. However, Lubin was unable to score another hattrick of points until the fifth round of the campaign at Thruxton. 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. 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.


GB3 Championship

In 2021 Lubin progressed to the

, where he would finish all three races in the top eight, with a best finish of fifth in race two. 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. This pair of third places would elevate Lubin to eleventh in the standings.
