🇨🇭 Jérôme De Sadeleer

Jerome de Sadeleer is a Silver-graded endurance racing driver whose record places him at the professional level; that rating of 4,106 puts him among established competitors in sportscar racing but not at the front rank of that field. His career on the circuit spans two seasons, 2022 and 2023, across the European and Asian Le Mans Series with eight starts yielding one podium finish and an average grid position of P8.1. The FIA Silver categorisation denotes a professional-standard driver, typically early in their endurance racing career, competing alongside full professionals graded Gold and Platinum.[1]

De Sadeleer raced primarily for Eurointernational in 2022, taking his only podium in the European Le Mans Series that year, then moved to MV2S Racing for the 2023 Asian Le Mans Series campaign. His head-to-head record against regular rivals shows mixed results; he notably outpaced Nico Pino and Alexander Bukhantsov more often than not, but finished behind Michael Jensen and Nick Adcock in the majority of shared races. Against stronger drivers, de Sadeleer has occasionally finished ahead of established professionals: he beat FIA Platinum graded Raffaele Marciello in four separate races, and finished ahead of FIA Gold drivers Benjamin Goethe and Tom Gamble on multiple occasions. These results suggest a competitive mid-field driver capable of mixing with the stronger fields but not consistently dominant.[2]

De Sadeleer has since retired from circuit racing and moved to rally raid competition, notably returning to the Dakar Rally in 2024, where he competed in the T4 UTV category.
