Gaël Julien (born 30 November 2005) is a French- Malagasy racing driver. [1] He has been competing in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series since 2023, driving for RLR MSport. Previously, Julien became a race winner in the French F4 Championship.
Having discovered karting at the age of 7, Julien won titles in various Asian countries, as well as taking home the 2019 Rok Cup Asia in the junior class. [2] [3] [4] He made his car racing debut in 2021, taking part in French F4. [5] With one win at Lédenon, the Frenchman finished seventh in the standings. [6] [7] [8]
For the 2022 season, Julien switched to compete in Spanish F4, where he would race for Drivex School. [9] [10] He finished 11th in the championship, beating both of his full-time teammates and scoring a podium in Valencia.
At the end of the year, Julien took part in an evaluation for the Ferrari Driver Academy as a selected candidate of the Asia Pacific & Oceania regional selection programme, representing Indonesia. [11]
2023 marked the start of Julien's time in sportscar racing, as the Frenchman moved to RLR MSport, partnering Horst Felbermayr Jr. and Mateusz Kaprzyk in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series. [12] Scoring points in all six races, Julien highlighted his campaign with a pole position in mixed weather conditions at Portimão, which led the team towards a seventh place in the standings. [13] [14]
The following year, Julien remained with RLR in ELMS, this time partnering the bronze-ranked pair of Nick Adcock and Michael Jensen. [15] Following a fourth place in Barcelona, the French driver would take his first pole position of the year at his home track in Le Castellet. [16] [17] Thanks to a well-judged fuel saving strategy which saw RLR have to make one less stop than its rivals, Julien would cross the line to take his first victory in endurance racing. [18] [19]
During his childhood, Julien and his parents lived in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. [20]
