Aurélien Antoine Philippe Panis (born 29 October 1994) is a French professional racing driver and the son of ex-Formula 1 competitor Olivier Panis. Since 2017, he has been competing as one of two drivers for Zengő Motorsport, marking him as the team's first non-Hungarian participant in the WTCC.

Career

Panis launched his racing career in 2011 within the French F4 Championship, concluding the season in tenth place. The following year, he participated in both the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 and Formula Renault 2.0 Alps series, where he failed to score points in Eurocup but accumulated 26 points in the Alps championship. In 2013, joining the Caterham Racing Academy, he earned his initial Eurocup points. After departing Caterham in 2014, he claimed two victories—one each in the Eurocup and the Northern European Cup.

In 2015, Panis advanced to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series with Tech 1 Racing. The series was rebranded as the Formula V8 3.5 Series in 2016, during which he secured two wins and achieved fifth place overall.

Transitioning to touring cars in 2017, Panis began competing in WTCC piloting a Honda Civic TC1 for Zengő Motorsport. After five rounds, he left the team and joined the TCR International Series with Boutsen Ginion Racing, where he earned one victory driving their Honda Civic TCR.

In 2019, Panis raced in the World Touring Car Cup (FIA WTCR) behind the wheel of an Audi RS3 LMS representing Comtoyou Racing.
