Evan Giltaire (born 21 November 2006) is a French racing driver currently competing in the Formula Regional European Championship with ART Grand Prix. He claimed the titles in both the 2023 French F4 and 2025 Formula Regional Middle East series.
Karting
Giltaire commenced his competitive karting career in 2018, achieving 7th place in the French Championship and 11th at the Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals. His breakthrough occurred in 2022, when he triumphed at the SKUSA SuperNationals XXV and won the IAME Warriors Final in the X30 Senior category. That year, he also secured 4th place in the IAME Euro Series and finished 5th in the CIK-FIA Karting European Championship.
In 2023, while pursuing his French F4 championship campaign, Giltaire also attained third place in the IAME Winter Cup’s X30 Senior division. Additionally, he participated regularly in WSK competitions and several CIK-FIA Karting World Championships, albeit with modest results.
Formula 4
After reaching the final selection of the 2022 Richard Mille Young Talent Academy shootout, Giltaire made his debut in the 2023 French F4 Championship. From the outset, he was a strong contender for the title alongside fellow Frenchman Enzo Peugeot and Canadian driver Kevin Foster. Over the season, Giltaire amassed 6 victories, secured 8 pole positions, and stood on the podium 13 times, ultimately winning the championship by a narrow margin of four points at Circuit Paul Ricard.
2023
Building on his F4 achievements, Giltaire took part as a guest competitor in the final two rounds of the 2023 Formula Regional European Championship driving for ART Grand Prix. His top result was an 11th-place finish at Circuit Zandvoort, placing him third among guest entrants.
2024
For the 2024 season, Giltaire progressed to a full-time role with ART Grand Prix in the 2024 Formula Regional European Championship. After retiring from the opening race at Hockenheimring, he bounced back to win race two, marking his inaugural victory in Formula Regional racing. He later added another podium finish at the Red Bull Ring and collected points once more at Monza Circuit, concluding the season seventh overall with a total of 97 points.
Giltaire also took part in the 2024 Macau Grand Prix representing ART. He qualified ninth and maintained that position through the qualifying race but was forced to retire from the main event following an accident on the first lap.
2025
Continuing with ART Grand Prix into 2025, Giltaire competed simultaneously in both the Formula Regional Middle East Championship and the Formula Regional European Championship.
He clinched the Formula Regional Middle East title during race two at the Lusail International Circuit, after a tight contest with rival Freddie Slater. Throughout that campaign, Giltaire recorded three wins, five pole positions, two fastest laps, eight podium finishes, and accumulated a total of 264 points.
