Adam Ali (born 11 July 2004) is a Canadian motorsport competitor currently racing in the LMP3 category of the European Le Mans Series with the EuroInternational team.
Career
Ali's racing journey commenced in karting, where he secured the Canadian National Championship title and represented Canada at the 2021 Rotax World Finals. In 2022, he moved up to car racing, conducting tests in a Ligier JS P320 for Inter Europol Competition under the guidance of coach Colin Noble. Although he was set to make his debut at the 2022 Petit Le Mans, the team withdrew prior to the event.
He officially made his professional racing debut in early 2023 competing with Inter Europol in the Asian Le Mans Series. Initially, his teammates included his brother Daniel and James Dayson; however, John Schauerman replaced Daniel before the season began. The team faced challenges throughout the series, ending last in the LMP3 standings without earning any points. Subsequently, Ali signed with EuroInternational for the 2023 European Le Mans Series, teaming up with Matthew Richard Bell. Despite a season largely dominated by Cool Racing, Ali and Bell consistently scored points and achieved a podium finish at Spa-Francorchamps, where Bell led for much of the race. Their most notable accomplishment was a victory at Portimão under wet conditions, which helped them secure second place overall in the LMP3 championship.
Continuing their partnership with EuroInternational into the 2024 ELMS season, Ali and Bell earned a podium finish at the opening round in Barcelona, followed by a fourth-place result at Le Castellet. They then claimed victory at Imola, with Ali extending their lead during the final stint. At Spa-Francorchamps, despite being spun into gravel during a safety car restart, Ali managed to recover and secure another win thanks to strategic team decisions.
