Alexander James Quinn (born 29 December 2000) is a British motorsport competitor currently participating in the 2025 European Le Mans Series behind the wheel of the No. 20 Algarve Pro Racing LMP2 entry.
Karting
Originating from Truro and residing near Camelford, Quinn embarked on his karting journey in 2011. He took part in various contests such as the Super 1 National Rotax Mini Max and earned several national karting championships.
Lower formulae
Quinn made his debut in single-seater racing during the 2016 F4 British Championship season, driving for Fortec Motorsport. He secured three victories and clinched the rookie cup that year.
He remained in the 2017 F4 British Championship for the following season, representing TRS Arden alongside teammates Oscar Piastri and Ayrton Simmons. Finishing fourth overall, Quinn outpaced Simmons but was behind Piastri, who finished as runner-up.
That same year, Quinn also appeared once in the 2017 BRDC British Formula 3 Championship, earning a podium finish at Donington while competing with Lanan Racing.
British GT Championship
During 2018, Quinn participated in six rounds of the 2018 British GT Championship within the GT4 category for Steller Performance; however, he did not accumulate any championship points.
Formula Renault Eurocup
In mid-2019, Quinn secured a seat in the 2019 Formula Renault Eurocup with former F4 outfit Arden Motorsport. Across three race weekends, he achieved podium finishes at both the Nürburgring and Catalunya, concluding the season 13th in the overall standings.
The following year, 2020, saw Quinn step in for Jackson Walls, who was unable to compete due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. Quinn took pole position for the opening round, amassed five podiums, and triumphed in the second race at Spa, ultimately placing fourth in the drivers' championship and earning the rookie crown.
Formula Regional European
Continuing with Arden in 2021, Quinn competed in the 2021 Formula Regional European Championship. He recorded two runner-up finishes at Imola and Barcelona, finishing ninth overall in the driver rankings.
U.S. F2000 National Championship
In May 2022, a collaboration between Velocity Racing Development and Arden International facilitated Quinn’s one-off entry into the U.S. F2000 National Championship event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Demonstrating dominance, he won all three races and registered the fastest lap on two occasions.
Sportscar career
Quinn transitioned to sportscar racing at the start of 2023, making his debut at the 2023 24 Hours of Daytona with PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports. Teaming up with Paul-Loup Chatin, Nicolas Lapierre, and amateur driver Ben Keating, who secured pole position in the LMP2 category, they finished seventh overall. Quinn notably set the quickest lap within his class during his inaugural endurance event.
He continued partnering with Chatin and Keating for Michelin Endurance Cup races, contributing to podium results at both the Watkins Glen and Road Atlanta, playing a key role in winning the overall LMP2 championship.
Initially named as United Autosports’ Endurance Cup driver for the 2024 IMSA season, Quinn was later replaced after being upgraded from silver to gold driver status. After competing at the 2024 24 Hours of Daytona with AO Racing, he joined Algarve Pro Racing for participation in the Pro-Am class of the 2024 European Le Mans Series. Additionally, Quinn made his debut at the prestigious 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans with AO Racing in LMP2 Pro-Am, finishing sixth overall and securing second place within class alongside Louis Delétraz and team principal P. J. Hyett.
