Gabriel Aubry (born 3 April 1998) is a French professional racing driver who most recently competed in the World Endurance Championship representing Vector Sport. Recognized as a key competitor in the LMP2 division, he achieved a runner-up finish with Jackie Chan DC Racing during the 2018–19 WEC season before participating in both the IMSA SportsCar Championship and the European Le Mans Series.

Karting

Hailing from Saint Germain-en-Laye, Aubry began his karting journey in 2008 at the age of eleven, racing extensively across various European circuits. A highlight of his karting tenure was securing third place in the KFJ category of the Andrea Margutti Trophy, surpassing competitors like Jehan Daruvala and Lando Norris.

Formula 4

In 2015, Aubry transitioned to single-seater racing by entering the French F4 Championship. During this campaign, he claimed victory at the Hungaroring and added nine further podium finishes, ultimately ranking third overall and second in the International F4 classification.

Formula Renault 2.0

The following year, Aubry progressed to Formula Renault 2.0, joining Tech 1 Racing alongside rival driver Sacha Fenestraz. Over the season, he scored points in six events and completed the championship in eleventh place. Additionally, he took part in selected rounds of the 2016 Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup with the same outfit.

Continuing with Tech 1 Racing for the 2017 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 season, Aubry achieved three victories—two at Hungaroring and one at Spa—alongside five additional podium appearances, finishing fifth in the overall standings. He also secured fifth place in the 2017 Formula Renault Northern European Cup championship.

GP3 Series

In 2018, Aubry made his GP3 Series debut with Arden International. His rookie year proved challenging as he collected only two points-scoring results and ended up eighteenth in the final classification.

FIA World Endurance Championship

Aubry entered sportscar racing through two LMP3 outings during the 2017–18 Asian Le Mans Series, including a victory at Sepang. He then advanced to the LMP2 class with Jackie Chan DC Racing for the WEC Super Season, teaming up with Ho-Pin Tung and Stéphane Richelmi. After securing second place at the opening round in Spa, Aubry made his debut at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing sixth within his category. The squad earned multiple podiums throughout the season, including victories at both Silverstone and Shanghai, where Aubry was entrusted with completing the final stint. They concluded the campaign as runners-up behind the Le Mans-winning team from Signatech Alpine.

In 2019, Aubry participated in endurance events within the 2019 IMSA SportsCar Championship for PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports, capturing victory at the 6 Hours of The Glen and aiding Matt McMurry’s championship success. Returning to Jackie Chan DC Racing for the 2019–20 WEC, Aubry and his teammates, including Will Stevens, were strong contenders for the title until disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Aubry missed the rescheduled Spa round after testing positive for COVID-19 during his stint in ELMS with Algarve Pro Racing. He wrapped up that season by winning at the Bahrain race.

In 2021, Aubry joined gentleman driver John Farano at Tower Motorsport for a full IMSA season campaign. Despite a limited number of entries in their class, mechanical retirements impacted their efforts; nevertheless, they secured third place overall and triumphed at the season-ending event, Petit Le Mans.

Shifting focus to GT racing in 2022, Aubry competed with Spirit of Race in the WEC's LMGTE Am category. The team faced difficulties early on with two retirements and ultimately finished last among teams despite achieving a fifth-place result at Monza. Concurrently, Aubry paired with Rob Hodes to compete in ELMS Pro-Am class with Team Virage, where they finished seventh and last.

For 2023, Aubry returned full-time to LMP2 competition with Vector Sport in WEC. Paired alongside two silver-rated drivers, he demonstrated notable speed—qualifying second at Portimão by a margin of just 0.001 seconds—and contributed to Vector’s seventh-place finish at Le Mans. However, recurring technical problems throughout the season led to an overall tenth-place championship standing.

Although initially confirmed to race for Vector Sport’s ELMS lineup in 2024, Aubry was unexpectedly replaced by Felipe Drugovich shortly before preseason testing—a move he described as surprising. His only appearance during that year came at Portimão driving for Nielsen Racing.
