2016–2018: Junior single-seaters Aberdein’s first single-seater championship was the
2017 ADAC Formula 4 Championship, driving for
Motopark. The following year, he won the
2016–17 Formula 4 UAE Championship title with 14 wins out of 18 races. However, he only finished ninth overall in the
2017 ADAC Formula 4 Championship. He took three podiums across the season. Aberdein was announced to be competing in the
2019 season with
Audi Sport Team WRT the following March. He finished the season in 10th overall, with 67 points and a best race result of fourth at
Assen and the
Nürburgring. For the 2020 season, Aberdein was originally set to serve as Audi’s reserve driver in DTM and
Formula E, a deal which likely would’ve included just one race appearance in place of
Robin Frijns at the
Norisring. Instead, he moved to
BMW Team RMR for a
sophomore DTM campaign. He was unable to improve on his results from the previous year, again taking a best race result of fourth at
Zolder, and finished 11th in the standings.
2021–2023: LMP2 endurance racing In 2021, Aberdein moved to the LMP2 class of the
European Le Mans Series, competing alongside
Tom Gamble and
Philip Hanson at
United Autosports. With four podiums, including a win at the season-ending race in
Portugal, the trio ended up finishing second in the standings. In addition, he joined the team for the
24 Hours of Le Mans together with
Nico Jamin and
Manuel Maldonado, though the race would conclude in a retirement due to a crash with the sister United car caused by Maldonado. 2022 saw Aberdein team up with
Ed Jones and
Oliver Rasmussen to drive for
Jota Sport in the
World Endurance Championship. Following a fifth place at
Sebring, the team would be forced to retire at
Spa-Francorchamps. The team bounced back strongly at the
24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing third in class and joining the sister car, which took victory, on the podium. Aberdein, Jones, and Rasmussen took another third place at the penultimate race in
Fuji, eventually ending up sixth in the teams' standings. . Aberdein made a brief return to GT racing in 2022 alongside his endurance campaign, competing in the first two rounds of the
ADAC GT Masters. With three podiums in the first three races, he finished 20th in the overall standings. He also competed in the opening round of the
2022 Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie with Team Sorg Rennsport, finishing eighth in the VT2 FWD class. For 2023, Aberdein returned to the
European Le Mans Series. Competing in the LMP2 class for
Inter Europol Competition, Aberdein drove alongside
Olli Caldwell and
Rui Andrade in the team's No. 43 entry. With one podium at
Paul Ricard but three retirements out of the six races, the team finished seventh in the standings. ==Personal life==
