Yifei Ye

Yifei Ye is from China and, like many of his generation, came to motorsport through karting before taking the leap into European junior series. There he gained early experience in formula racing and proved his talent, which paved the way for him to move into increasingly competitive categories.

His consistent progression through the formula classes paid off in 2020 when Ye won the Euroformula Open title, marking one of the most important milestones of his career to date. This success underscored his adaptability to different vehicle concepts and opened the door to his move into prototype and endurance racing.

In sports car racing, Yifei Ye quickly established himself as a fixture: in 2021 he secured both the European Le Mans Series title and the Asian Le Mans Series title, a double success that demonstrated his versatility and consistency across different continents and competition formats. These achievements thrust him into the spotlight of larger teams and eventually paved the way to the FIA World Endurance Championship, where he has since been competing for class victories in the GT3 category.

Going into the 2026 season, Yifei Ye has the clear goal of building on his previous success in the endurance racing scene and further establishing himself in the FIA WEC. For race-trace.news, he remains one of the most exciting names from Asia in international sports car racing, whose career path from karting through the formula classes to world championship level exemplifies the modern trajectory of young GT drivers.
