Ian Aguilera (born 14 March 2007 in Guadalajara, Mexico) is a professional Mexican racing driver currently competing in the LMP3 category of the 2025 European Le Mans Series with EuroInternational.
Aguilera claimed victory in the 2019 Radical World Finals within the Pro1500 division and has been affiliated with Escudería Telmex since that year.
Early career
Beginning his motorsport journey in karting from 2016 through 2019, Aguilera secured the 2019 Nacional Formula Karts championship in the X30 Junior class and represented Mexico at the IAME International Final during the same year.
He transitioned to car racing in 2021, participating for two seasons in the Ginetta Junior Championship under R Racing, where he achieved a race win at Thruxton Circuit in 2022.
At the start of 2023, Aguilera joined RLR MSport to compete in the JS P4 category of the 2023 Ligier European Series, earning podium finishes at both Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and Circuit Paul Ricard, ultimately finishing fourth in the overall standings.
Returning for the 2024 Ligier European Series as a solo entrant with RLR MSport, he collected one podium across the initial five rounds and went on to secure three victories at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Mugello Circuit, and Algarve International Circuit, concluding the season as championship runner-up.
Endurance racing
Aguilera debuted in LMP3 with RLR MSport during the 2024 Road to Le Mans, where his best result was ninth place in the first race. He continued with the British squad for the LMP3 category of the 2024–25 Asian Le Mans Series, capturing his inaugural LMP3 win in race two at Dubai Autodrome. At Abu Dhabi, he triumphed in race one and finished runner-up in race two, wrapping up the season second in points.
On February 13, 2025, it was announced that Aguilera would join EuroInternational for his first campaign in the 2025 European Le Mans Series, teaming up with Sebastian Gravlund and Fabien Michal.
