Filip-Ioan Ugran (born 12 September 2002) is aRomanianrace car driver who is competing in theInternational GT Open with Oregon Team. He previously competed in the2024 European Le Mans Series withUnited Autosports and in the2023 FIA World Endurance Championship withPrema Racing.
He has raced in theFIA Formula 3 Championship,[1] and is a race winner in theItalian andSpanishFormula 4 championships.[2]
Ugran made his motorsport debut in karting in 2016, where he remained active until 2018. The Romanian took part in championships such as theWSK Super Master Series,WSK Final Cup and the CIK-FIA International Super Cup. He also raced in the 2016 edition of theCIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy, where he finished 38th.[3]
In 2019, he made his debut in formula racing in theItalian F4 Championship with BVM Racing.[4] He was the only driver in the team to drive the entire season, making for a difficult debut year. Only with a tenth place in the season finale at theMonza did he manage to score a point, putting him in 26th place in the standings.[5] He also drove as a guest driver for BVM in a race weekend of theADAC Formula 4 Championship at theHockenheimring, where he finished 14th in both races.[6] At the end of the year, Ugran drove in the season finale of theF4 Spanish Championship at theCircuit de Barcelona-Catalunya withJenzer Motorsport.[7] He finished on the podium in all races, with two second places and one third place, but because he was a guest driver, he was not awarded any championship points.[8]
In 2020, Ugran remained active inItalian F4, switching toJenzer Motorsport.[9] His results improved significantly, and he scored his first win during the second round at theImola Circuit.[10] He missed the third round at theRed Bull Ring but was back on the podium during the next round inMugello.[11] He collected one more podium during the next round atMonza.[12] Ugran was on the podium a total of five times during the season, which led to him finishing eighth in the standings with 133 points.[13] The Romanian also drove for Jenzer in theSpanish F4 race weekend atLe Castellet, where he won two races and finished second in the third.[14][15] With 55 points, he finished tenth in the standings despite competing in only that one weekend.
For the 2021 season, Ugran remained withJenzer Motorsport but progressed to theFIA Formula 3 Championship, where he partneredCalan Williams.[16] At the first round inBarcelona, the Romanian found himself fighting for positions in the lower midfield,[17] and issues with tyre management inFrance as well as troubles with track limits atSpielberg left the Romanian bottom of the standings after the opening third of the season, with the best race result of 21st place.[18][19] Ugran managed to achieve a then-best finish of 19th in race two inBudapest andSpa-Francorchamps, allowing the Romanian to move off the bottom of the table.[20][21] At the penultimate round inZandvoort, Ugran qualified a season-best 21st and finished 15th in race one, bettering his previous best finishing position by four places.[22] In the second race, Ugran managed to end up in 12th at the checkered flag but was demoted to 24th after the race stewards found him guilty of a collision withJonny Edgar.[23] The Romanian did not score points in the final weekend atSochi.[24] Ugran finished 31st in the drivers' standings, the second-lowest of all full-timers.[25]

Ugran drove forJenzer Motorsport,Charouz Racing System andVan Amersfoort Racing during 2021 post-season testing.[26][27][28] However, he was not selected for any team and left the series.
Ugran returned to Formula 3 for theSilverstone round of the championship, replacingAlexander Smolyar, who could not race in theUnited Kingdom due to Visa issues.[29] He finished his races 23rd and 18th, before handing his seat back to Smolyar for theSpielberg round.[30] Ugran ended the year 36th in the standings.[31]
Ugran moved to theEuroformula Open Championship in 2022, signing forVan Amersfoort Racing.[32] Ugran did manage one podium during the season, where he placed third in thePaul Ricard round.[33] However, after four rounds into the season, Van Amersfoort Racing left Euroformula Open with immediate effect, leaving Ugran without a seat.[34] This left him to end ninth in the standings.[35]
After being left without a drive after the2022 Euroformula Open Championship, he joined the2022 European Le Mans Series withAlgarve Pro Racing alongsideBent Viscaal for the remaining two rounds of the campaign.[36] Ugran ended both rounds in eighth and fifth place.
Ugran's 2023 campaign would be in theFIA World Endurance Championship withPrema Racing in theLMP2 category, driving alongsideBent Viscaal andAndrea Caldarelli.[37] The season began without much promise at the1000 Miles of Sebring, where early contact left them eighth at the chequered flag.[38] The second round inPortimão was better, as Ugran contributed to a recovery drive for fifth place.[39] Ugran had his best finish inSpa-Francorchamps, making a great start en route to fourth place, although Caldarelli was passed on older tyres while running in third.[40] He had a complicated race during hisLe Mans debut, getting stuck in a runoff area and later being hit from behind which caused damage and a lengthy thirty-minute repair in the pits. They eventually brought it home to finish tenth.[41] After ninth and eighth inMonza and2023 6 Hours of Fuji respectively, a successful stint by Viscaal inBahrain meant Ugran would get another fourth place finish.[42] Ugran finished his rookie season of WEC in tenth overall, with 57 points.[43]
For the 2024 season, Ugran moved toUnited Autosports, partneringBen Hanley andMarino Sato in theEuropean Le Mans Series.[44] He started the season with his firstendurance racing podium with third place at the4 Hours of Barcelona.[45] This was followed by a fifth place the next round for the4 Hours of Le Castellet.[46] However, the #22 car's results' dipped after that, as they were only able to score points two more times with a ninth and tenth place. Ugran finished the campaign tenth in the standings with 29 points.[47]
In 2025, Ugran raced exclusively in theInternational GT Open with Oregon Team alongside Robin Rogalski in the #19 car.[48]
