🇫🇷 François Perrodo

François Perrodo is a French endurance racer who has built a long-standing career in the World Endurance Championship while competing under the AF Corse banner. Racing in a series known for its grueling multi-hour and multi-driver formats, Perrodo has established himself as a consistent and successful competitor over the course of 46 career starts, amassing 10 wins and 17 podiums along the way. His achievements have culminated in two WEC championship titles, earned in 2021 and 2024, marking him as one of the more accomplished gentleman drivers in the modern era of sportscar racing. Away from the track, Perrodo is also known as the chairman of Perenco, an oil and gas company founded by his father, and comes from a family with substantial business interests, though his motorsport career has been built through years of dedicated competition in international endurance racing.[1]

Currently holding a Racer Rating of 4,127, placing him 471st among active drivers on a scale where the world's elite reach figures between 10,000 and 11,500, Perrodo continues to compete as an active WEC entrant with AF Corse. His 2026 season is still in its early stages, having completed one round without a win or podium so far, leaving him 133rd in the current standings. Despite this early-season standing, his overall body of work, headlined by back-to-back championship success in 2021 and 2024 and a career total of ten victories, reflects the depth of experience and competitive consistency he has brought to endurance racing over the years.[2]
