🇫🇷 Adrien Tambay

Adrien Tambay is a professional racing driver competing at the international level. Graded FIA Gold, the highest professional categorisation in endurance and sportscar racing, he has raced across single-seater and GT categories since 2009. He made his most recent appearance in the 2020 World Endurance Championship with Eurointernational and has also competed in the Formula 3 Euro Series, GP3 Series, Formula V8 3.5, and GT World Challenge Europe.[1]

His indexed record spans five seasons and twenty starts, yielding one win in the GP3 Series with Manor in 2010 and one podium finish. In Formula 3 Euro Series, his primary campaign in 2009, he ran twelve races for ART Grand Prix, an established team that has fielded numerous drivers across the professional spectrum. His other indexed appearances were brief; a single start in Formula V8 3.5 with Pons Racing in 2011, three GP3 rounds with Manor, and three GT World Challenge Europe starts in 2021 with Sainteloc Junior Team before his indexed racing activity ended.[2]

Tambay raced regularly against established professionals. He finished mostly behind Roberto Merhi, a Platinum-graded professional and 2011 Formula 3 Euro Series champion with substantial single-seater and sportscar experience. He was closely matched with Esteban Gutiérrez, also Platinum-graded, a former GP3 champion who went on to Formula 1. His strongest results came against drivers of higher current standing: he finished ahead of António Félix da Costa, the 2019 Formula E champion and 2022 WEC LMP2 champion, twice, and beat Nico Müller, a Platinum-graded professional with extensive DTM and Formula E racing, in one meeting.
