Career

Klein made his single-seater debut in 2016, racing in the FFSA Academy centrally-run French F4 Championship.[3] In his maiden season in single-seaters, Klein took a lone win at the reverse grid race at Le Mans and finished 12th in points.[4]

Returning to French F4 for 2017,[5] Klein won the first race at Magny-Cours and concluded the season 10th in the standings.[6]

Despite being announced to be competing in the LMP2 class of the 2018 European Le Mans Series for Duqueine Engineering,[7] Klein only raced a handful of times in 2018, making a handful of appearances for DKR Engineering in ELMS and also racing for Cool Racing in the Road to Le Mans.[8][9]

In 2019, Klein joined Pierre Martinet by Alméras to compete in his maiden season in Porsche Carrera Cup France.[10] Scoring his first podium second time out at Nogaro,[11] Klein took his first win at Spa and ended the season sixth overall and second in the rookie standings.[12]

The following year, Klein returned to Pierre Martinet by Alméras to race full-time in both Porsche Carrera Cup France and Porsche Supercup.[13] In the former, Klein won at Spa and scored four more podiums to end the season fifth in points.[14] In the latter, the French driver took a best result of fourth at the Hungaroring and finished seventh in points.[15]

Joining CLRT for 2021, Klein stayed in the French championship but scaled back his Supercup program to four races.[16] In his third season in the series, Klein swept both the Spa and Barcelona rounds,[17][18] also taking wins at Monza and Portimão to win his first Carrera Cup France title by 3 points over Florian Latorre.[19][20][21] At the end of the year, Klein participated in the Porsche Junior Shootout at MotorLand Aragón.[22]

Staying with CLRT for 2022, Klein returned to both Carrera Cup France and Supercup on a full-time basis. In the former he swept the rounds at Nogaro, Magny-Cours and Le Castellet,[23][24][25] along with a win at Valencia to win his second consecutive Carrera Cup France title ahead of Dorian Boccolacci.[26][27] Meanwhile in Supercup, Klein took his maiden win at Zandvoort and finished sixth in points.[28] During 2022, Klein made his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, racing in the LMGTE Am class for Inception Racing alongside Côme Ledogar and Alexander West.[29]

Switching to TFT Racing for 2023,[30] Klein won both races at the Red Bull Ring and took more wins at Magny-Cours and Le Mans to finish third in points.[31][32][33] Towards the end of the year, Klein joined Target Competition for the Imola round of Porsche Carrera Cup Italy.[34] In the two races, Klein won race one from the pole and finished third in race two.[35][36]

Klein returned to CLRT for the 2024 Porsche Supercup season, winning at Spa and ending the season third in points.[37] The French driver also returned to Target Competition to race in both Porsche Carrera Cup Germany and Porsche Carrera Cup Italy. In the former, Klein took a lone win at the Hungaroring and finished the season 10th in points.[38] In the latter, Klein swept the second Imola round and also won at Mugello to finish third in points and helping the team win the team's championship.[39][40][41]

In 2025, Klein stayed with ABM for a seventh season in Porsche Carrera Cup France and also joined Proton Huber Competition,[42][43] BeDriver and Lechner Racing to remain in Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, Porsche Carrera Cup Italy and Porsche Supercup.[44][45]
