Chiara Rossi (born 14.07.1994) is an Italian racing driver. She is competing in the 2016 Siemens Ausdauer Reject Series for Ecurie Prenois.


Early career

Rossi started karting at the age of 10 years. In 2011, she started single-seater racing in Italian Formula 3. Due to a lack of sponsorship, she had to drive an old Dallara F305 instead of the new F308. Despite the outdated car, she was able to score several podiums and even won a race at Spa-Francorchamps. In 2012, she moved to the Formula 3 Euroseries, driving a Dallara F308, where she scored two third places before running out of money after the Norisring round. She returned to Italian Formula 3, where she won three races, and secured a race driver seat at OAK Racing in the LMP2 category for 2013.


Ausdauer Reject Series

Following the collapse of WEC, Rossi signed a contract with Ecurie Prenois for the 2016 Ausdauer Reject Series season. However, Ecurie Prenois withdrew from the series after just one race. Rossi remained a part of Écurie Prenois, competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and selected rounds of the ELMS with a Dome-Nissan LMP2 car.
