Marvin Klein (born on 21 June 1999 in Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume) is a French professional racing driver and a two-time titleholder in the Porsche Carrera Cup France.
Career
Klein began his journey in single-seater racing in 2016 by participating in the centrally organized 2016 French F4 Championship. During this season, he claimed a victory in the reverse grid race held at Le Mans and ultimately ranked 12th in the overall standings. He returned to the same series in 2017, securing a win at Magny-Cours and concluding the year in 10th place.
Although initially announced to compete in the LMP2 category of the 2018 European Le Mans Series with Duqueine Engineering, Klein’s appearances that year were limited. Instead, he took part sporadically with DKR Engineering in ELMS and with Cool Racing during the 2018 Road to Le Mans event.
In 2019, Klein embarked on his first full campaign in the Porsche Carrera Cup France by joining Pierre Martinet by Alméras. He achieved his maiden podium at Nogaro and secured his first win at Spa, finishing sixth overall and ranking second among rookies.
The following season, Klein competed full-time for Alméras in both Porsche Carrera Cup France and the Porsche Supercup. He repeated his victory at Spa and accumulated several podium finishes, which helped him secure fifth place in Carrera Cup France. In the Supercup series, he attained seventh overall, highlighted by a best finish of fourth at the Hungaroring.
In 2021, Klein transitioned to CLRT, concentrating mainly on Carrera Cup France while reducing his Supercup participation. He dominated events at Spa and Barcelona, adding triumphs at Monza and Portimão to clinch his first Carrera Cup France championship by a narrow margin of three points over Florian Latorre. Additionally, he competed in the Porsche Junior Shootout held at MotorLand Aragón.
Continuing with CLRT in 2022, Klein undertook full seasons in both Carrera Cup France and Supercup. He swept victories across circuits including Nogaro, Magny-Cours, Le Castellet, and Valencia, earning his second consecutive Carrera Cup France title ahead of Dorian Boccolacci. In Supercup competition, he achieved his inaugural win at Zandvoort and finished sixth overall. That year also marked his debut appearance at the prestigious 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he raced in LMGTE Am for Inception Racing alongside teammates Côme Ledogar and Alexander West.
For 2023, Klein joined TFT Racing, securing wins in both races at the Red Bull Ring as well as additional victories at Magny-Cours and Le Mans, ultimately placing third in the championship standings. Later that year, he competed with Target Competition during the Imola round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Italy, claiming victory in race one from pole position and finishing third in race two.
Returning to CLRT for the 2024 Porsche Supercup, Klein earned a win at Spa and ended the season third overall. Simultaneously, he raced for Target Competition across Porsche Carrera Cup Germany and Italy—capturing a win at the Hungaroring in Germany (finishing 10th in points) and achieving multiple victories at Imola and Mugello in Italy to secure third place overall while contributing to Target’s team championship success.
In 2025, Klein is set to continue with ABM for his seventh campaign in Porsche Carrera Cup France. Additionally, he will compete with Proton Huber Competition, BeDriver, and Lechner Racing across Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, Italy, and Supercup series.
