Jan Charouz (born 17 July 1987) is a retired Czech racing driver, recognized for his triumph in the 2009 Le Mans Series and the 2006 F3000 International Masters, as well as securing fourth place at the 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2010, he took on the role of reserve driver for the Renault Formula One team while also competing in both the Formula Renault 3.5 Championship and Auto GP series.

He is the son of Antonín Charouz, who established and leads Charouz Racing System.

Renault Team reserve driver

During the 2010 season, Charouz served as the reserve driver for the Renault F1 Team, engaging in testing activities and qualifying to participate in Friday practice sessions throughout Grand Prix events. His initial experience behind the wheel of the Renault R29 occurred during a shakedown test at Silverstone Circuit on March 18, 2010.

HRT Team reserve driver

On November 16, 2011, Charouz took part in the Abu Dhabi young drivers' test at Yas Marina Circuit representing the HRT F1 Team. He completed a total of 56 laps (311 km) across four stints, finishing eleventh with a lap time of 1’46.644. Subsequently, on November 24, it was confirmed that he would replace Vitantonio Liuzzi for the first practice session of the final race weekend of the 2011 Formula One season. This participation at Abu Dhabi secured Charouz's FIA Super Licence, permitting him to compete during an F1 Grand Prix weekend.

World Series by Renault

In 2010, Charouz competed in the Formula Renault 3.5 category within the World Series by Renault, driving for P1 Motorsport.

AutoGP

That same year, he also raced in the AutoGP championship representing Charouz Gravity Racing.

2009

In 2009, Jan Charouz maintained his collaboration with factory-backed Aston Martin Racing, taking part in both the entire 2009 Le Mans Series season and the 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans. Piloting the newly introduced Aston Martin LMP1 car #007 alongside teammates Tomáš Enge and Stefan Mucke, they achieved a fourth-place finish at Le Mans. The trio secured both Driver and Team championships in the 2009 Le Mans Series, marking Aston Martin's resurgence in sports car racing half a century after their 1959 World Sportscar Championship victory. The #007 entry earned five podium finishes throughout the season, including victories at Barcelona and Nürburgring.
