Early career

Karting

Born in Saint Germain-en-Laye, Aubry began karting in 2008 at the age of eleven, partaking in events across Europe. One of his karting achievements was the third place in the KFJ class of the Andrea Margutti Trophy, when he finished ahead of such drivers as Jehan Daruvala and Lando Norris. [1]

Formula 4

In 2015, Aubry graduated to single-seaters. He competed in the French F4 Championship, where he won Hungaroring race and had another nine podium finishes. As a result, he finished in the top-three in the overall standings and as runner-up in the International F4 Championship standings.

Formula Renault 2.0

In 2016, Aubry switched to Formula Renault 2.0 with Tech 1 Racing, joining his French F4 rival Sacha Fenestraz. [2] He had six point-scoring finishes and finished eleventh in the drivers' standings. [3] He also had a partial 2016 Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup campaign with the same team. [4]

Aubry continued with Tech 1 in 2017. [5] He won three races—two of them on Hungaroring and one at Spa—and had finished another five races on the podium position. [6] [7] He ended the season fifth. [8] He again competed in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup, ending the season fifth as well. [9]

GP3 Series

In January 2018, Aubry joined Arden International for the 2018 GP3 Series campaign. [10]

Sportscar career

FIA World Endurance Championship

After two races in the LMP3 Class of the 2017–18 Asian Le Mans Series with win in the season finale at Sepang. [11] In March 2018, Aubry was announced as a Jackie Chan DC Racing driver along with Ho-Pin Tung and Stephane Richelmi in the LMP2 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship. [12] He finished second (eighth overall), behind the G-Drive Racing car which was the invitational entry in the season opener at Spa, taking his first LMP2 win in the World Endurance Championship. [13]

He returned to the team for the 2019–20 WEC season, taking one win on his way to seventh in the championship.

2024

Initially announced as one of Vector Sport's drivers for the 2024 European Le Mans Series campaign, Aubry was released via a phone call one week before pre-season testing to make way for Felipe Drugovich, in a decision the Frenchman described as having shocked him. [14]
