Fabien Giroix is a French amateur endurance racing driver, rated 4,278, placing him in the professional category; this rating reflects a driver capable of running mid-pack among full-time competitors in a strong series, though his record shows him consistently finishing behind the field leaders in the events he entered. His FIA Bronze grading denotes him as an amateur or gentleman driver in the sportscar and endurance context, racing alongside professionals in those categories. Giroix raced in the World Endurance Championship across two seasons from 2012 to 2013, making 11 starts across two teams without achieving a podium finish. His average finishing position of 7.7 among classified results reflects his position outside the points-paying range in a professional series.[1]
Giroix spent the bulk of his WEC tenure with Gulf Racing Middle East, appearing in ten of his eleven starts for that team between 2012 and 2013. His most frequent rivals were established professionals and a series champion; against Olivier Pla, a Platinum-graded full professional rated 5,449, Giroix finished ahead in one shared race but trailed in six. Against John Martin, the 2013 WEC LMP2 champion, Giroix was outrun in all seven encounters. He beat Ricardo Gonzalez in three of six shared races, a more even split than his records against most peers. Only occasionally did he outpace drivers ranked significantly above him; he finished ahead of Christijan Albers, rated 6,415, once, and ahead of James Rossiter, a Platinum-graded professional rated 5,594, in a single outing. His career concluded in 2013 with a P42 finish at the closing round of that season.[2]
