Ferdinand de Lesseps is a professional driver competing in endurance racing, piloting shared sportscars in the FIA GT Championship. His career on record comprises a single season in 2000 with Larbre Competition Chereau, a team fielding established professionals alongside developing competitors.[1]
De Lesseps contested nine rounds of the 2000 FIA GT Championship and finished 29th in the season standings. Racing in a field mixing amateurs, semi-professionals and graded professionals, he finished ahead of Luca Cappellari, an established professional who would go on to win the 2004 FIA GT Championship, and beat the Formula 1 veteran François Migault once during the season.[2]
His most common opponent was Julian Bailey, the 2000 FIA GT champion and a driver with seven Formula 1 starts to his name; de Lesseps typically finished behind him. The calibre of his regular competition places him as a mid-field entrant in a grid anchored by established professionals and former single-seater racers moving into sportscars.
