Răzvan Petru Umbrărescu (born 30 June 1993) is a Romanian racing driver who currently competing in the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship with Akkodis ASP Team.[1]
Career
[edit]Umbrărescu started his car racing career in 2016 by competing some races of the Renault Clio Cup for the Certainty Racing Team.[2]
In 2017 he joined the German RN Vision STS team to compete in the GT4 European Series Northern Cup with Gabriele Piana and Hendrik Still as his teammates.[3] He took four class victories and became vice-champion in the Pro-Am classification.
In 2018 he remained with the team to contest the GT4 European Series with Piana as his teammate again. He took his first overall win in the series at the Misano World Circuit. The pair of Piana and Umbrărescu finished the season as seventh in the Silver Cup. That year he also joined Leipert Motorsport to compete in a few selected races of the 24H GT Series and Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe. At the 24 Hours of Portimão he took second place in the SPX class together with Piana, John-Louis Jasper and Pavel Lefterov.[4]
In 2019 he only competed in the opening round of the International GT Open for Petri Corse with Jules Gounon as his teammate.[5]
In 2020 he joined Team Lazarus to compete in the International GT Open with Stefano Coletti. He only competed in the first two rounds without finishing a single race. He also joined Classic & Modern Racing to compete in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup with Pierre-Alexandre Jean and Seb Morris.[2] Ahead of the second round at the Nürburgring he was switched to from #108 car to the #107 car which he shared with Romano Ricci and Stephane Tribaudini.[6]
In 2021 he joined the AKKA ASP Team to compete in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup with Jules Gounon.[7] After scoring two podiums, the pair finished the season in seventh. He also joined Thomas Drouet, Simon Gachet and Konstantin Tereshchenko as the fourth driver at the 24 Hours of Spa.[8]
In 2022 he remained in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup with the same team. His teammate was Igor Waliłko.[9] The pair finished the season as tenth in the Silver Cup.
In 2023 he joined the Haupt Racing Team to compete in the ADAC GT Masters.[1] Together with his teammate Arjun Maini he took a second place in the opening round at the Hockenheimring.[10] Ahead of the second round it was announced that Maximilian Götz would be his teammate for the rest of season.[11] He got three more podiums by the end of the season – two third places at the first race of the fourth and fifth round at the Sachsenring (which he partnered up with Philip Ellis) and the Red Bull Ring – including matching his best finish with a second place in the final race of the final round at the Hockenheimring. Umbrărescu finished the drivers championship in 6th position with one pole position, one fastest lap, four podiums and 142 points.[12]
His only event of the 2024 season was the 2024 GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup, where he entered in two events in the gold cup with James Jakes driving for Comtoyou Racing.[13] He only competed in the two races of the third round of the series at the Hockenheimring, where he got his only point. Umbrărescu entered the fifth and final round of the season at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, but withdrew for health reasons, leaving Jakes to drive the pair of races alone.[14]
FIA World Endurance Championship
[edit]Umbrărescu became the second Romanian to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship after Filip Ugran, when he was announced for Akkodis ASP Team's lineup in the LMGT3 class of the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship alongside Clemens Schmid and Finn Gehrsitz. [15][1][16] Just before the season Gehrsitz would migrate to the #87 Akkodis ASP Team instead of the #97 one that he was originally a part of, José María López would replace him.[17]
Personal life
[edit]Umbrărescu was born in Bacău, Romania.[18] He is the son of Dorinel Umbrărescu, who founded the construction company Spedition UMB, of which he is a shareholder.[19][20]
