Ugo de Wilde (born 20 November 2002) is a professional racing driver from Belgium, currently participating in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup representing Team WRT.
Karting
Originating from Brussels, De Wilde embarked on his karting journey in 2011. He mainly took part in European competitions, including the Belgian Kart Cup, where he achieved a runner-up position at just nine years old. In his final year of karting, 2016, he competed in the CIK-FIA European Championship and outperformed notable drivers such as Red Bull Academy’s Dennis Hauger and French talent Théo Pourchaire.
Lower formulae
At 14, De Wilde entered single-seater racing by joining the 2017 French F4 Championship, becoming the youngest participant in the series’ history. Although his initial results were modest, he managed to claim three podium finishes in the second half of the season, concluding the year 12th in the overall standings.
During the 2017–18 off-season, he took part in two rounds of the Formula 4 South East Asia Championship, where he secured five victories and ended up third in the championship rankings.
De Wilde returned to compete in the FIA-sanctioned French F4 Championship in 2018. That year, he earned four wins and finished as runner-up, trailing champion Caio Collet by 66.5 points.
Formula Renault Eurocup
In 2019, De Wilde made his debut in the Formula Renault Eurocup driving for JD Motorsport. He claimed victory in the opening race at Monza but did not reach the podium again throughout the season, ultimately ranking seventh overall.
For his second campaign in 2020, he joined Arden Motorsport. Despite achieving three podium finishes during that season, De Wilde concluded the championship in ninth place.
European Le Mans Series
In the 2021 season of the European Le Mans Series, De Wilde competed with Inter Europol Competition in the LMP3 class.
