Alex Riberas Bou (born 27 January 1994) is a professional Spanish racing driver actively participating in the FIA World Endurance Championship and IMSA Sportscar Championship with the Aston Martin-affiliated THOR Team.
Karting
Riberas launched his karting career in Spain in 2007 and two years later, in 2009, he became part of the junior development program at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. During this period, he secured multiple race wins, demonstrating promising talent.
Formula Renault 2.0
In 2010, Riberas made his debut in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, finishing the season in eighth position overall. He continued competing through to 2012, achieving his highest championship standing of sixth place in 2011, a year in which he also recorded a race victory.
Between 2010 and 2012, he additionally participated selectively in the Formula Renault 2.0 UK, Formula Renault 2.0 NEC, and Formula Renault 2.0 Alps series.
Formula 3
Riberas appeared once in the 2012 European F3 Open Championship, where he impressively reached the podium in both races he contested.
Porsche Cups
Starting from 2013, Riberas took part in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany and advanced to the Porsche Supercup in 2014 as a member of Porsche’s junior driver initiative. His efforts culminated in a fifth-place finish in the 2015 Porsche Supercup standings.
IMSA SportsCar Championship
Riberas entered the IMSA SportsCar Championship scene in 2014, competing primarily in endurance races with Alex Job Racing. He achieved class victory at the prestigious 2015 12 Hours of Sebring, sharing the car with teammates Ian James and Mario Farnbacher. Another class win followed during the 2016 season.
Since 2020, after being designated an Aston Martin factory driver, Riberas has been racing full-time with Heart of Racing Team, competing in the GTD Pro category from 2022 onward.
World Endurance Championship
Riberas made his first appearance in the FIA World Endurance Championship during the 2023 season, when Heart of Racing Team assumed control of the entry previously held by Northwest AMR. This debut included his inaugural participation at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he finished sixth within his class.
