Adrien Patrick Marie Maurice Tambay (born 25 February 1991) is a professional race car driver from France and an official competitor for CUPRA. He secured the title of 2022 ETCR Champion. He is the son of ex-Formula One racer Patrick Tambay, who achieved two Grand Prix victories driving for Ferrari during the early 1980s.

Formula BMW

Hailing from Paris, Tambay launched his racing career in the German Formula BMW ADAC championship, where he finished fourth overall and claimed the rookie champion award. In 2008, he progressed to compete in the inaugural Formula BMW Europe series, ending the season third behind competitors Esteban Gutiérrez and Marco Wittmann.

Formula Three

In 2009, Tambay joined the Formula Three Euroseries with top-tier team ART Grand Prix. He was forced to skip events at Oschersleben and Nürburgring, as well as a guest appearance in the British Formula 3 race at Spa, due to a head injury sustained during football. He completed the Euroseries without scoring points, with his best results being seventh place finishes at both EuroSpeedway and the Norisring.

Auto GP

In 2010, Tambay took part in the Auto GP championship representing Charouz-Gravity Racing.

GP3

Tambay stepped in for the injured James Jakes at Manor Racing. A highlight of his stint was winning a rain-affected race at Spa-Francorchamps after starting from 27th on the grid by opting to remain on slick tires.

DTM

Between 2012 and 2016, Adrien Tambay served as one of eight factory Audi drivers competing in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM). During his rookie season, he secured a top ten finish in the championship standings and throughout his DTM career amassed three podium finishes, one pole position, and recorded one fastest lap.
