Adrien Chila (born 28 October 1975) is a French racing driver who last competed in the European Endurance Prototype Cup for ANS Motorsport.

Career

Chila began his racing career in 2013, racing in Mitjet 2L for AGS Events.[1] After select appearances across 2015 and 2016 in V de V and the Gulf 12 Hours in the latter year for Graff,[2] Chila remained with Graff to compete in the Le Mans Cup the following year alongside Émilien Carde.[3] In his first season in the series, Chila took a pair of third-place finishes at the Red Bull Ring and Le Castellet to end the year fourth in points.[4] Staying with Graff for 2018 alongside Marc-Antoine Dannielou,[5] Chila scored a best result of third at the Red Bull Ring en route to a fourth-place points finish for the second year in a row.[6]

Continuing with Graff for 2019, Chila remained in the Le Mans Cup as he was joined by Nicolas Schatz.[7] In his third season in the series, Chila scored his maiden win in race one at Le Mans and finished third in race two, helping him to once again finish fourth in points.[8] Chila then raced in the Ultimate Cup Series Challenge Monoplace the following year for the same team, scoring six podiums and finishing third in points.[9] In 2021, Chila returned to endurance racing, competing in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series for MV2S Racing.[10] After taking a best result of sixth at Monza, Chila returned to the series the following year with EuroInternational.[11] Having competed in the first three races, Chila then left the team ahead of the Barcelona round and made a one-off appearance in the European Endurance Prototype Cup for ANS Motorsport at Magny-Cours.[12]

Switching to Cool Racing for 2023, Chila raced them full-time in the LMP3 class of the Asian Le Mans, Le Mans Cup and the European Le Mans.[13][14][15] Paired up with Cédric Oltramare and Marcos Siebert for the former, Chila took a best result of second in the Abu Dhabi finale to round out the season eighth in points.[16] Racing alongside Oltramare in Le Mans Cup, the pair scored a best result of second at Le Castellet to end the year fifth in points.[17] Competing with Siebert and Alex García in the latter, the trio took wins at Barcelona,[18] Aragón and Spa and two other podiums to secure the ELMS LMP3 title.[19][20][21]

Remaining with Cool Racing to race in Le Mans Cup alongside David Droux in 2024,[22] the pair scored a lone win at Le Castellet,[23] and one other podium to edge out R-ace GP to the LMP3 title by 5.5 points.[24] The following year, Chila joined ANS Motorsport to race in the European Endurance Prototype Cup.[25] Driving alongside Belén García and Paul Trojani for the first five rounds, Chila finished third at Le Castellet,[26] before taking his season-best result of second at Mugello en route to a sixth-place points finish.[27]
