Yuanpu Cui

Yuanpu was born in Xi’an, China, in 2008 and joined our Junior Programme in 2021, off the back of a positive season of growth and development in go-karts. Racing is in Yuanpu’s blood because his father was also a racing driver. Yuanpu first began racing professionally in 2014 with events in China and by 2016, he finished second in the Chinese Rotax series. 

Over the next few seasons, he began to expand his racing outside of China, competing in events all around the world. This included podium finishes in Italian National events, WSK Open Cup, WSK Final Cup, the ROK Cup Superfinal and WSK Euro Series in the 60 Mini and Mini ROK classes, across the 2018 and 2019 seasons. 

In 2020, he picked up a P2 position in the 31° Andrea Margutti Trophy in OK Junior, scored victories and podiums in the WSK Champions Cup in 60 Mini and scored podiums in the WSK Super Master Series in 60 Mini. He also achieved a podium in the 2020 Florida Winter Tour in Mini ROK.  

He remained in OK Junior in 2021 before stepping up to OK in 2022, where he claimed several impressive results. Yuanpu remained in OK for 2023 where he’s continued to build on the progress of the previous season.

Towards the end of the year he also began testing in British F4 ahead of his racing debut in the series in 2024 – competing for Argenti Motorsport.
