François Heriau is a professional endurance racing driver competing in international multiclass championships. Graded FIA Bronze, he races primarily for Vista AF Corse in the WEC, where he has contested 27 starts since 2022. He also competes in the Asian Le Mans Series, IMSA WeatherTech and the European Le Mans Series, driving LMP2 and LMP3 prototypes and GT3 cars across a career spanning eight seasons from 2018 onwards.[1]
Heriau has taken two wins and six podiums across 63 starts in indexed racing. Both victories came in WEC competition with Vista AF Corse; he has added two further podiums in IMSA WeatherTech and two more in the Asian Le Mans Series. In the 2026 WEC season, now underway, he holds fifth place in the championship standings after five rounds.[2]
He races regularly against professional-level opposition in shared-car endurance fields. His most frequent competitors are Charlie Eastwood, the 2025 European Le Mans Series LMGT3 champion and a Gold-graded professional, and Sean Gelael, a Formula 2 and Formula E alumnus with over 170 career single-seater starts; Heriau matches both in head-to-head results. He has also finished ahead of Scott McLaughlin, the two-time Supercars champion and an IndyCar veteran, and Nico Müller, a DTM and Formula E regular; those individual results stand against the weight of more consistent competition from drivers at his own level.
