Aleix Alcaraz Roig (born 26 June 1990) is a retired Spanish professional racing driver.
Karting
Alcaraz launched his karting journey in 2000, capturing the Spanish District Championship title in Catalonia. The following year, he earned the Copa Campeones Trophy Cadet crown. He primarily raced within Spain until 2004, when he broadened his horizons to include European karting competitions such as the European Championship ICA Junior, Andrea Margutti Trophy ICA Junior, and Italian Open Masters ICA Junior.
In 2005, Alcaraz claimed the Spanish Championship ICA Junior title, edging out Roberto Merhi by a slim margin, and secured third place in the Andrea Margutti Trophy ICA Junior, finishing behind Merhi and Charles Pic. His final season in karting, 2006, concluded with a fifth-place finish in the World Cup ICA category.
Formula Three
Transitioning to single-seater racing in October 2006, Alcaraz took part in the penultimate round of the Spanish Formula Three Championship at Jerez, where he finished 16th and 15th in two separate races.
Formula Renault 2.0
Later that year, Alcaraz made his debut in Formula Renault during the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 final round held in Barcelona, completing races in 24th and 23rd positions. Additionally, he competed in the Italian Formula Renault 2.0 Winter Series with Cram Competition, concluding seventh overall while teammate Jaime Alguersuari dominated the series.
In 2007, Alcaraz raced simultaneously in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Italian Formula Renault 2.0 championships with Petrom District Racing AP alongside Mihai Marinescu. He ended the Eurocup season ranked 19th with two points-scoring finishes and placed 17th in the Italian series with eight points finishes despite missing the concluding round at Monza.
Formula Renault 3.5 Series
In November 2007, Alcaraz tested a Formula Renault 3.5 Series vehicle for Pons Racing during winter testing at Paul Ricard. Although most of his testing was with Pons, he signed for Italian outfit RC Motorsport for the 2008 campaign. After earning points only in his second race, he parted ways with RC Motorsport following the fourth round at Silverstone and was succeeded by Brazilian driver Claudio Cantelli.
Alcaraz returned to competition at the subsequent round in Hungary, joining Pons Racing as a replacement for Máximo Cortés, who encountered sponsorship difficulties. Over ten races with Pons Racing, he achieved one points finish during the sprint race at Le Mans, ultimately ranking 27th in the overall championship standings.
