Max Defourny (born 9 October 1998) is a professional racing driver from Belgium, currently residing in Luxembourg. He competes in the Formula Renault 2.0 series.

Karting

Originating from Liège, Defourny embarked on his karting journey in 2009 at the age of eleven and clinched his inaugural karting championship the following year.

Formula 4 Championships

In 2014, he transitioned to single-seater racing, entering nine rounds of the French F4 Championship as a guest competitor and participating in three events within the Italian F4 Championship for Cram Motorsport, where he concluded the season 20th overall.

Formula Renault 2.0

Defourny stepped up to Formula Renault 2.0 in 2015 with the ART Junior Team, securing three victories and finishing fourth in the Northern European Cup (NEC) standings.

He remained with the same outfit, which was renamed R-ace GP in 2016, and ended that season as runner-up to Lando Norris in the NEC while achieving third place in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0.

Continuing with R-ace GP in 2017, Defourny ranked fourth in the Eurocup behind teammates Will Palmer and Robert Shwartzman. His sole win came at Circuit Paul Ricard following Shwartzman’s disqualification. That season, he amassed eleven podium finishes, three more than his tally from 2016. Additionally, he competed in the 2018-19 MRF Challenge Formula 2000 series, leading into the final event but ultimately finishing second to Jamie Chadwick.

Formula V8 3.5

In November 2016, Defourny took part in end-of-season testing sessions with both Fortec Motorsport and AV Formula (AVF).

GP3 Series

He also engaged in post-season testing at Yas Marina Circuit with ART Grand Prix and Arden International.
