🏳️ David DROUX

David Droux was a semi-professional sportscar driver, ranked as an FIA Gold graded professional in endurance racing. His rating of 4,434 places him among competitive professionals; this level describes drivers capable of strong results in professional-am and one-make championships, and mid-pack finishes among full-time front-runners. Droux raced in two seasons across the European Le Mans Series and the World Endurance Championship between 2021 and 2022, compiling ten starts with one podium finish and an average classification of eleventh position. His single top-three result came in the ELMS, where he was more competitive overall than in his lone WEC outing.[1]

The calibre of Droux's field was professional throughout. He raced regularly against drivers of Silver and Gold grading, including Niklas Kruetten, the 2021 ELMS LMP3 champion, and Matthew Bell, who had won both the 2020 IMSA Prototype Challenge LMP3 title and the 2021 ELMS LMP3 championship. Against Kruetten and Bell, Droux finished ahead only once each across ten shared races, losing his head-to-head records decisively. He showed better balance against Matthias Kaiser and Duncan Tappy, splitting wins and losses nearly evenly with both; he also occasionally beat stronger drivers, including one-off finishes ahead of Platinum graded Mattia Drudi and the 2021 WEC LMGTE Am champion Nicklas Nielsen. He raced primarily for Graff Racing, a team that did not record wins across the index and whose strongest driver on record was considerably more experienced.[2]

Droux retired from racing after 2022 and did not return to competition on the record provided. His later achievements in the V de V Challenge and Le Mans Cup, noted in biographical sources, lie outside the scope of this database's records.
