🇨🇳 Chuang Yan

Chuang Yan is a semi-professional racing driver competing in multiclass endurance championships at the Nürburgring. He races a BMW M240i in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie for Smyrlis Racing and contested the Nürburgring 24 Hours in an alternative-fuel AT3 class car for Fancy by Teamwork Motorsport. His indexed record spans two seasons and three starts across these two championships.[1]

He took podium finishes in both of his indexed series: one in the Langstrecken-Serie and one at the Nürburgring 24 Hours. His most notable result came against David Schumacher, a professional-rated driver with 44 Formula 3 starts and 19 DTM races to his name; Chuang finished ahead of him twice in multiclass endurance racing. He also outfinished Patricija Stalidzane, a professional with ten Langstrecken-Serie starts, in one meeting.[2]

Smyrlis Racing, his primary team in the Langstrecken-Serie, operates with established backing; it has collected 18 wins across its wider programme and fielded drivers of professional standing, including established professional Jack Aitken. Chuang operates in a field mixing amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals in the same races, a common structure in multiclass endurance grids where driver experience spans a wide spectrum.
