Gilles Nouveau (born August 20, 2004) is a Canadian racing driver from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, Canada, who currently competes in North American F4, driving for Brian Andore Racing.
Early Racing Career
Nouveau was named after Canadian racing legend Gilles Villeneuve, after his grandfather went to the 1977 Canadian Grand Prix and was thus inspired to have one of his grandchildren named after him. In his early years, Nouveau started karting at the age of 6, and worked his way through the local, regional and national championships, having plenty of success, developing a rivalry with fellow Quebecian Brian Gosselin, before landing a drive with reigning North American F4 champions Brian Andore Racing in 2020. He would manage to win the driver's championship in that series, taking 4 wins and 145 points, thanks to his greater consistency compared to his rivals.
