Lü Wei (; born 6 November 1986), also known as Wei Lu, is a Chinese and Canadian racing driver competing in GT World Challenge Asia for Origine Motorsport.

Career Lü Wei was born in Beijing on 6 November 1986 and was raised there, before moving to Vancouver in 2006 and beginning to participate in club races shortly after, while owning a residential building construction company. After making his competitive racing debut in 2014 in Ferrari Challenge North America, Lü competed full-time in the series the following year, scoring five Trofeo Pirelli podiums en route to a fourth-place points finish. In parallel, Lü also raced in the TCB class of Pirelli World Challenge for Racing.ca, scoring a lone podium in Utah to take eighth in points.

Returning to the former for 2016, Lü scored a pair of second-place finishes at Lime Rock Park as he ended the year third in Trofeo Pirelli. At the end of the year, Lü finished second in the Ferrari Challenge Finali Mondiali. Continuing for an identical programme the following year, Lü took four wins and four further podiums en route to runner-up honours in Trofeo Pirelli. Remaining with Ferrari machinery for 2018 but stepping up to GT3 competition, Lü partnered up with Jeff Segal to compete in the SprintX GT Championship Series for TR3 Racing. Racing in GT Pro-Am, Lü won race one at Circuit of the Americas and both Utah races, as well as six other podiums as he missed out on the class title by four points.

In 2019, Lü joined Ferrari-linked JMW Motorsport to compete in the LMGTE class of the European Le Mans Series under the Canadian flag. Partnering Segal and Matteo Cressoni, Lü scored a pair of second-place finishes at Monza and Barcelona to take third in LMGTE. Lü also raced alongside Segal and Rodrigo Baptista at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in LMGTE Am, in which he crossed the line in third, before later being promoted to second after the race-winning Keating Motorsports Ford was disqualified post-race. During 2019, Lü also made one-off appearances in Blancpain GT World Challenge America for TR3 Racing, as well as Blancpain GT World Challenge Asia and China GT Championship for Phantom Pro Racing. The following year, Lü joined Shell Teamwork Lynk & Co Motorsport to race in the first two rounds of the TCR China Touring Car Championship, winning on his final start at Zhuzhou as he began using a Chinese licence. After racing part-time in the GT Super Sprint Challenge and China GT in 2021, Lü raced in Porsche Carrera Cup Asia the following year, in which he won the Pro-Am title for R&B Racing.

Continuing with Porsche-fielding R&B Racing to make his full-time debut in GT World Challenge Asia, Lü took overall wins at Motegi (with Dennis Olsen) and Sepang (with Patrick Pilet), as well as four other podiums to secure third in both the overall and GT3 Pro-Am standings. At the end of the year, Lü won the Shanghai 8 Hours with the same team alongside Yuan Bo and Leo Ye. After winning the 2024 Sepang 12 Hours with them, Lü stayed with the rebranded Origine Motorsport outfit to continue in GT World Challenge Asia for the rest of the year. In his second season in the series, Lü won at Sepang (with Laurin Heinrich) and Buriram (with Pilet) outright, as well as taking a class win at Suzuka en route to runner-up honours in Pro-Am. At the end of the year, Lü raced in the 2024–25 Asian Le Mans Series for Mercedes customer team Climax Racing in the GT class.

Lü then returned to Origine Motorsport for his third season in GT World Challenge Asia for the remainder of 2025, winning at Mandalika (with Alessio Picariello) and Okayama (with Bastian Buus) as he lost out on the overall title on countback, but was able to clinch the Pro-Am crown by one point. At the end of the year, Lü also raced with them in the first two rounds of the 2025–26 24H Series Middle East, winning the 2025 12 Hours of Malaysia and finishing on the GT3 Am podium at the 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi.
