Louis Prette Jr. (born 31 July 1998 in Monte Carlo) is a Monégasque and Italian racing driver who competes in GT World Challenge Europe for Garage 59 as a McLaren junior. He is also the general manager of APM Monaco, his family business.

Prette is mentored by 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans winner and fellow Monégasque Stéphane Ortelli.

Biography

Given his father Philippe's unprecedented success in Ferrari Challenge Asia-Pacific, Prette's career began in Asia with the Asian Formula Renault Series in 2016. Having taken third in the championship the following year, he graduated to Asian Formula 3, where he finished ninth in the standings before moving into GT racing – returning to Europe and following in his father's footsteps by contesting the European Ferrari Challenge, winning the championship by three points. He progressed to GT3 competition in 2020, entering the International GT Open series with Vincent Abril.

Outside of racing, Prette serves as general manager at his grandmother Ariane's fashion jewelry company APM Monaco, based in Hong Kong.
