Dario Cabanelas Altukhov (born 21 July 2006) is a Swiss, Spanish and Ukrainian racing driver who most recently competed for Team Virage in the JS P4 class of the Ligier European Series.

Career

Cabanelas began karting at the age of six.[1] Competing in karting until 2020, he most notably won the Vega Trophy in 2020 before stepping up to French F4 the following year.[2] In his first season in single-seaters, Cabanelas scored a best result of fourth in the reverse-grid race at Le Castellet, which helped him finish eighth in the standings at season's end.[3]

Remaining in the French F4 Championship for 2022,[4] Cabanelas took two third-place finishes at Pau and Lédenon, en route to a ninth-place points finish.[5][6] During 2022, Cabanelas also represented Switzerland in the FIA Motorsport Games Formula 4 Cup.[7][8]

Having spent most of 2023 testing for Saintéloc Racing, Cabanelas remained with them to race in the final four rounds of that year's Eurocup-3 season.[9] Taking his maiden points on his debut round at Jerez,[10] Cabanelas then finished ninth and tenth in both races at Estoril,[11][12] before taking his fourth and final points finish of the season at Barcelona.[13]

Remaining in Eurocup-3 for 2024, Cabanelas joined MP Motorsport for his only full-time season in the series.[14] Taking points in a wet season opening race at Spa by finishing eighth,[15] Cabanelas then finished tenth in race one at the Red Bull Ring and seventh in race one at Algarve.[16][17] However, that turned out to be Cabanelas' best result of the season as he scored just one points finish across the next three rounds, a tenth at Zandvoort, before leaving the team and the series with two rounds to spare.[18]

Cabanelas then switched to sports car racing for 2025, joining Team Virage to compete in the JS P4 class of the Ligier European Series.[19] In the season-opening round at Barcelona, Cabanelas fought for the lead in his stints in both of the races, but finished no higher than 13th alongside Laura Villars.[20][21] After Villars left the team after the round at Le Mans, Cabanelas finished fifth in both races at Spa before leaving the team with two rounds left.[22][23]
