Daniel Nogales López (born 28 February 2003 in Navalcarnero[1]) is a Spanish racing driver who currently competes in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series for Team Virage.

Career

Nogales started karting at the age of six, competing at his local track of Torrejón.[2] Racing in karts until 2021, Nogales most notably won the RMC Grand Finals in 2014 and 2015 in the Micro and Mini max classes respectively,[3][4] along with winning the 2021 Spanish Karting Championship in X30 Senior.[5]

After competing in both the Clio Cup Spain and Europe championships in 2021,[6][7] Nogales joined Teo Martín Motorsport to make his single-seater debut in the 2022 F4 Spanish Championship.[8]

Scoring just one points finish in the first four rounds, a tenth in the third race at Algarve,[9] Nogales left the team and joined Drivex ahead of the Aragón round.[10] After taking points on his debut with the team,[11] Nogales only missed the points four times in the last seven races of the season, taking a best result of sixth in the second Navarra race on his way to 14th in points.[12] During 2022, Nogales also made a one-off appearance at the Red Bull Ring round of the Euroformula Open Championship.[13] After retiring in both the first two races, Nogales finished eighth in the third race of the weekend.[14]

Nogales remained with Drivex in 2023 for his sophomore season in the F4 Spanish Championship.[15] Despite finishing eighth in the season-opening Spa round,[16] Nogales went scoreless in the next two rounds before moving up to Eurocup-3 with the same team.[17] Racing in the final six rounds of the season, Nogales missed the top 10 only twice, taking a best result of sixth in race one at Jerez and finishing 12th in the standings despite missing the first two rounds.[18]

In 2024, Nogales returned to Drivex for his sophomore season in Eurocup-3.[19] In the first five rounds of the season, Nogales only scored points twice, with a best result of ninth in race two at the Red Bull Ring,[20] before leaving for Saintéloc Racing ahead of the Aragón round.[21] With the French team, Nogales finished fourth in the season-finale at Barcelona, but was given the points for third place as Nikita Bedrin, who finished third, was ineligible for points.[22]

Having made his LMP3 debut in late 2024 in the Ultimate Cup Series,[23] Nogales joined Team Virage to compete full-time in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series.[24]
