Charles de Pauw was a professional endurance racing driver who competed in the FIA GT Championship, a single-class series featuring shared-drive competition that mixed amateur and semi-professional entrants with graded professionals. He raced for JMB Racing, an established team in the championship with a competitive history across its grid.[1]
De Pauw's indexed racing career spanned three seasons from 2005 to 2007, comprising three starts in FIA GT Championship competition. He finished 30th in the championship standings in his final season. His most notable result came against Karl Wendlinger, a Gold-graded driver and 1999 FIA GT champion with 71 FIA GT starts and 42 Formula 1 appearances to his name; de Pauw finished ahead of him once. He also beat Philipp Peter, a professional with 74 FIA GT Championship starts, on one occasion.[2]
Racing in a field that regularly included established professionals with deep series experience, de Pauw typically finished behind Michael Bartels, a multi-time FIA GT champion who went on to win the title three times after de Pauw's departure from the series, and Marc Lieb, an established professional with 41 World Endurance Championship starts and 35 FIA GT entries. De Pauw's record against the regular front-runners reflects the wide competitive spread that characterised the championship grid of that era.
