The 17-year-old became British F3's youngest ever polesitter at Monza last season for Hitech Racing, and hopes to become the series' youngest champion next year - a record set by Carlin's Jaime Alguersuari this season.
"In 2008, my aim was to be among the top runners but next year I'm in it to win," said Chilton. "I'm still young but I think I have enough experience to be a serious contender for the title.
"It's all down to me now, I know Carlin have the experience and resources to help me succeed in 2009."
Team boss Trevor Carlin added: "We’ve been watching Max's progress for some time and we've seen him develop from a young driver still very much in the learning process, to a very talented and quick driver capable of challenging for race wins.
"He showed great potential this year and I think, with our help and support, he will be a very strong contender in the 2009 championship. We've been very pleased with his performance in winter testing so far and I'm delighted he will be racing with us next year."
