🇫🇷 Charles Milesi

Charles Milesi is an established professional endurance racer at the FIA Platinum grade. He currently races for Alpine Endurance Team in the WEC's Hypercar class, where he is third in the championship standings with two podiums from six rounds run so far in 2026. His primary indexed career spans international multiclass and single-class endurance series: the WEC since 2020, the European Le Mans Series since 2021 in LMP2 and LMP2 Pro/Am machinery, and IMSA WeatherTech since 2021, alongside a brief single-seater spell in Formula Renault Eurocup in 2017 and 2018.[1]

Milesi won the 2021 WEC championship and the 2025 European Le Mans Series title with VDS Panis Racing. Across all indexed series he holds 12 wins and 20 podiums from 102 starts. His wins are distributed across the WEC (four), the European Le Mans Series (four), and the Asian Le Mans Series (two, from six starts in 2026). He came through a single-seater career in Formula Renault Eurocup with two wins in 25 starts for R-ace GP, racing in a field that included Oscar Piastri, whose own record would go on to encompass Formula 1. Milesi finished ahead of Piastri nine times across their shared races in that series and later shared endurance grids with other Formula 1 drivers.[2]

Among his regular endurance opponents are Robert Kubica, a former Formula 1 driver and two-time WEC LMP2 champion, and Yifei Ye, the 2021 European Le Mans Series LMP2 champion. Milesi typically finishes behind both. The broader field he races mixes graded professionals with semi-professional and amateur co-drivers in shared-car racing, a format that can mask driver strength in the statistics; his level is marked more reliably by his championships and his standing against peers racing in the same professional capacity, which places him among the stronger half of established professionals in endurance racing.
