Ho-Pin Tung (Chinese:董荷斌;pinyin:Dǒng Hébīn; born December 4, 1982) is a Dutch-born racing driver who races with a Chinese license.

Tung was born inVelp,Gelderland,Netherlands, to Chinese parents with ancestry tracing toWenzhou,Zhejiang Province.^[1] Tung startedkart racing in the Netherlands in 1997 before graduating to single-seaters. In 2001 he raced in the Dutch Formula Ford championship withVan Amersfoort Racing. After winning the 2003Formula BMW Asia series, he was rewarded with a test drive with theWilliams F1 team.

In 2004, he joined theATS Formel 3 Cup. Although he scored race wins and podium finishes, he finished 7th in his rookie year.

Tung stayed in the ATS F3 Cup in 2005, finishing the series in third place, before taking the title in 2006, winning 9 races, 4 pole positions and 5 fastest laps.

At the2007 Chinese Grand Prix, he was announced as a test driver for theBMW Sauber F1 Team the rest of the year.

On 4 April 2007,BCN Competición announced that it had signed Tung as its second driver alongside Japanese driverSakon Yamamoto for the2007 GP2 Series.

Tung drove forTrident Racing team in the 2008GP2 Asia Series and GP2 Series, scoring his first podium finish in the latter.

In 2009, he raced in theSuperleague Formula series. He raced in the first three rounds forGalatasaray S.K. and the latter three rounds forAtlético Madrid. He had his first win in the series at theJarama round for Galatasaray.

In December 2009, Tung tested for theRenault F1 Team. In January he was announced as the team's third driver. As part of the deal, he returned to theGP2 Series with theDAMS team for the2010 season.^[2]

On 23 June 2010, theFIA granted Tung a four-race probationarysuper license, allowing him to compete inFormula One.^[3]

At theHungaroring round of the GP2 season, Tung sustained a minor fracture of one of hislumbar vertebrae as a result of a first-lap collision withJules Bianchi, who spun in front of him and suffered a more serious break of the same bone.^[4] Tung was replaced byRomain Grosjean while he recovered.^[5] However, Grosjean kept the seat for the remainder of the season, leaving Tung without a drive until he was called up to replaceChristian Vietoris atRacing Engineering for the final round, Vietoris suffering fromappendicitis.

On 22 November 2010, Tung made sporting history as he officially became the first Chinese licensed driver to take the wheel of an IndyCar by testing with theFAZZT Race Team atSebring International Raceway.^[6]

Tung attempted to qualify for the2011 Indianapolis 500 withDragon Racing, but was unsuccessful due to a crash on Pole Day that resulted in a mild concussion. He made his IndyCar debut later that season in August atInfineon Raceway driving for the same team.

In 2016, Tung joinedBaxi DC Racing to partner team ownerDavid Cheng and French driverNelson Panciatici (replaced mid-year byPaul-Loup Chatin) in the team'sAlpine A460 entry for theLMP2 class of the2016 FIA World Endurance Championship. The team took a string of minor points placings during the year, and Tung finished the season in 13th position in the drivers' championship standings.

Tung remained with DC, now renamedJackie Chan DC Racing, for the2017 FIA World Endurance Championship. At the2017 24 Hours of Le Mans, Tung became the first driver in the event's history to lead the race in an LMP2 car,^{[citation needed]} after all the top classLMP1 entries either retired or faded away in the race. Ultimately, hisOreca 07 car finished second overall, and first in the LMP2 class, after it was overtaken by the number 2Porsche 919 Hybrid car. The Jackie Chan DC crew were also the first Chinese-entered car to win a class in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.^{[citation needed]} During the remainder of the season, Tung and his co-driversOliver Jarvis andThomas Laurent took further class wins atSilverstone and theNürburgring, and two other podium finishes, and finished the season in second place in the LMP2 championship.

Tung remained with Jackie Chan DC Racing for a third season in 2018, to contest the2018-19 FIA World Endurance Championship 'superseason'.
