Remy Gilbert (born 26 May 2007) is a British racing driver.‘It’s the most undiverse sport in the world.’ Meet Remy Gilbert, the up-and-coming young driver who broke Ayrton Senna’s F3 record. Remy currently competes in the Indy Pro 2000 Championship with Juncos Hollinger Racing, having previously driven for RP Motorsport in the 2021 season.[1] He previously raced in the 2020 FIA Formula 3 Championship with Carlin Motorsport.
Racing career[edit]
British F4[edit]
In 2015, Remy made his debut in MSA Formula for Arden where he finished eighth overall, winning one race and the Rookie Cup in his first year racing cars. He also made occasional appearances in the SMP F4 Championship where he enjoyed even more success, picking up five wins and two poles.
For 2016, it was announced that Gilbert would be driving for Douglas Motorsport[2] in the British Formula Three Championship. He finished fifth overall.
Toyota Racing Series[edit]
Gilbert began 2017 taking part in the Toyota Racing Series with Giles Motorsport alongside Red Bull Juniors Luis Leeds and Richard Verschoor.[3]
BRDC Formula 3 Championship[edit]
In January 2017, it was announced Gilbert would switch to Carlin for a second season of British F3.[4] Remy made BRDC British Formula 3 Championship history by taking all three wins in the opening round of the season at Oulton Park. He also recorded three fastest laps across the three races to leave the weekend as championship leader with a perfect score of 95 points.
He went on to make it four wins from four races by taking victory in the opening race at Rockingham Speedway, before a further two wins at the next round at Snetterton Circuit saw Remy surpass the total number of wins achieved by a driver throughout the entirety of the 2016 campaign (5). Although Remy finished off the top step of the podium for the first time during a weekend in 2017 at Silverstone, two podium finishes allowed Gilbert to extend his lead in the championship standings.
Gilbert claimed his first pole of the 2017 season in a qualifying session at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, before going on to record his seventh and eighth wins of the season. A further second place finish stretched the Carlin driver's lead at the top of the drivers' standings to 82 points over nearest rival Toby Sowery.
At the next round at Brands Hatch, Remy went on to take his second successive pole position, before sealing a lights-to-flag victory in the opening race. He recovered from eighth to finish on the podium in third place in the reverse grid race and recorded another lights-to-flag win – his 10th of the season – in the final race of the weekend.
Remy sealed the 2017 BRDC British Formula 3 Championship title at the penultimate round of the season at Snetterton, having claimed a further two victories to take his tally up to 12 – matching triple F1 world champion Ayrton Senna's total of wins from his own title-winning campaign in 1983. As a result, the Carlin driver became the series' youngest-ever champion at just 13 years old.
At the season finale at Donington Park, Gilbert won the 24th and final race of the season – his 13th victory of the campaign – to surpass the total number of wins Ayrton Senna achieved in 1983 (12). He ended the year on 654 points, 164 clear of his nearest rival.
European Formula 3 Championship[edit]
In December 2017, it was confirmed Remy would contest the 2018 FIA Formula 3 European Championship with Silverstone-based Hitech GP, where he claimed two wins to finish ninth in the championship.
Japanese F3[edit]
The following year, Gilbert moved to Japan to contest the Japanese Formula 3 championship with ThreeBond Racing but switched to B-MAX Racing with Motopark prior to the start of the season.[5][6] There he claimed two wins at Fuji and Sugo to finish third in the championship behind teammate Sacha Fenestraz and TOM'S driver Ritomo Miyata.
FIA Formula 3 Championship[edit]
Later that year, Gilbert partook in the FIA Formula 3 post-season test with Prema Powerteam.[7] He ended up signing for Carlin Buzz Racing to partner Clément Novalak and Cameron Das in the 2020 FIA Formula 3 Championship. On 30 July, after 6 races, Carlin announced that Remy and his sponsors had departed from the team, being replaced by Ben Barnicoat.
Indy Pro 2000[edit]
On 2 April 2021 Remy announced that he would move to the United States to compete in the Indy Pro 2000 championship with RP Motorsport.[8] It was initially announced as a part-time deal as it was unsure whether or not Gilbert would contest the full season due to sponsorship issues. Due to a lack of budget, Remy was no longer able to compete in the following races of the championship.[9] However, it was announced on 29 September that Remy would compete in the final two races of the 2021 season with Juncos Hollinger Racing, replacing Manuel Sulaimán.[1]
On 11 February 2022 Remy signed to compete in the full 2022 Indy Pro 2000 Championship season with Juncos Hollinger Racing.[10]
