Alex Quinn

Alexander James Quinn (born 29 December 2000) is a British racing driver competing in the IMSA SportsCar Championship for CrowdStrike Racing by APR and the European Le Mans Series for Nielsen Racing. Alongside his LMP2 commitments, he is a Hypercar test and development driver for Peugeot TotalEnergies.

Early career

Karting Born in Truro and based near Camelford, Quinn started his karting career in 2011. He competed in multiple championships such as the Super 1 National Rotax Mini Max Championship and won multiple national karting championships.

Lower formulae In 2016, Quinn made his car racing debut in the F4 British Championship, driving for Fortec Motorsport. He won three races and was crowned as the winner of the rookie cup.

Quinn continued to race in the F4 British Championship in 2017, partnering Oscar Piastri and Ayrton Simmons at TRS Arden. He would end up finishing fourth in the standings, beating Simmons but finishing behind Piastri, with the Australian becoming vice-champion.

Quinn also made a one-off appearance in the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship that same year, scoring a podium at Donington with Lanan Racing.

British GT Championship In 2018, Quinn competed in six races of the British GT Championship in the GT4 class. Driving for Steller Performance, Quinn scored no points.

Formula Renault Eurocup At the start of 2019, Quinn wasn't able to find a place in a championship. However, midway through the season, he was given the opportunity to make his debut in the Formula Renault Eurocup for his former F4 team Arden Motorsport. He drove in three weekends, managing to score a podium at the Nürburgring and at Catalunya respectively. Quinn finished 13th in the final standings.

In 2020, Quinn substituted for Jackson Walls, who was unable to travel to Europe due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. Quinn got pole position for the first race of the season, scored a total of five podiums throughout the season and won the second race at Spa, helping him to fourth in the drivers' championship. He also won the rookie title.

Formula Regional European

For the 2021 campaign, Quinn remained with Arden, competing in the Formula Regional European Championship. As a result of achieving second places in Imola and Barcelona respectively, Quinn ended up ninth in the drivers' standings.

U.S. F2000 National Championship In May 2022, Velocity Racing Development and Arden International announced a collaboration which resulted in Quinn making a one-off appearance in the U.S. F2000 National Championship at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. There, he would take victory in all three races of the weekend, a performance he capped off by taking the fastest lap on two occasions.

Sportscar career

2023: Part-time debut Quinn made his debut in sportscar racing at the start of 2023, competing in the 24 Hours of Daytona for the PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports outfit. With the team's amateur driver Ben Keating having scored pole position in the LMP2 category, Quinn, along with Paul-Loup Chatin and Nicolas Lapierre, finished the race in seventh place. Quinn showed an impressive performance in his first endurance event, setting the fastest lap in class. During the season, Quinn would join Chatin and Keating for the Michelin Endurance Cup rounds, helping them towards two podiums at Watkins Glen and Road Atlanta that earned the pair the overall LMP2 title.

2024: ELMS success; Le Mans debut For the following year, Quinn was initially announced to become the designated Endurance Cup driver in IMSA for United Autosports, however an upgrade of his driver categorization from silver to gold forced the Briton out of the seat. After competing at the 24 Hours of Daytona as the fourth driver for AO Racing, the Brit entered into the Pro-Am category of the European Le Mans Series with Algarve Pro Racing, partnering Richard Bradley and bronze-ranked Kriton Lendoudis. In addition, Quinn was able to make his 24 Hours of Le Mans debut with AO in the LMP2 Pro-Am subclass, finishing sixth in the overall category and second in the subclass alongside Louis Delétraz and team owner P. J. Hyett. The ELMS season began with fourth and sixth places, before a well-worked strategy earned the No. 20 team a victory at Imola. Tidy performances gave Quinn and his teammates third at Spa and second at Mugello, which kept the squad in the title fight going into Portimão. There, Quinn stayed out during the final stint and saved fuel in order to try and win the title. He led until being overtaken by a fully-fueled Bent Viscaal on the final lap, which demoted the No. 20 Apr crew to second in both the race and the Pro-Am standings.

In the winter of 2024–25, Quinn joined Lendoudis and Olli Caldwell to race for APR in the Asian Le Mans Series. Sixth in race one at Sepang was followed by good fortune in race two, as Algarve Pro's gamble on wet-weather tyres paid off to promote them to third before the race was abandoned. In Dubai, the team returned to the podium with third in race 1. The following day, Quinn made several overtakes in the closing stages of race 2 and benefited from a late collision for the leading Tom Dillmann to take the victory. Abu Dhabi saw Quinn shine once again, as he crossed the line in second following a gamble on fuel strategy. Due to a steering column failure in race 2 of the weekend, the team dropped to fourth in the LMP2 standings.

2025

Quinn remained in the ELMS for the 2025 season, remaining at APR alongside Caldwell and Lendoudis. After finishing second in class at Barcelona, both Quinn and Caldwell suffered penalties at Le Castellet and finished sixth. Despite late-race contact in the 4 Hours of Imola with Mathias Beche, Quinn held on to third place. In Spa-Francorchamps, Quinn benefited from a late Full-Course Yellow period to overcut Marino Sato for the race lead, allowing him to claim fourth overall and the win in Pro-Am. Thanks to these results, the team vaulted to the championship lead. Quinn became the catalyst for APR's victory at the next round in Silverstone: he charged into the lead as the rain picked up during his first stint, before battling Louis Delétraz hard to keep his position. Though Delétraz got past, he was later penalised for driving standards, and Quinn inherited the win of the red-flag-shortened race by just over a tenth of a second. In the week after this victory, Quinn was confirmed to remain with Algarve Pro for the 2026 season. At the final round in Portimão, a mid-race collision forced the Algarve Pro team to spend multiple laps in the garage, causing them to fall to second in the LMP2 Pro-Am standings.

A week after the ELMS season's conclusion, it was announced that Quinn would join Nick Cassidy and Mathias Beche at the FIA World Endurance Championship's rookie test in Bahrain, driving the Peugeot 9X8. In November 2025, Quinn was confirmed to join Peugeot Sport as a test and development driver for the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship season.

Personal life Quinn comes from a family of farmers; away from racing he works on his uncle's family farm, near Camelford.
