🇫🇷 Julien Andlauer

Julien Andlauer is a professional sportscar driver rated 5,507, placing him in the upper-middle tier of active drivers and well within the front-running field of endurance racing. The FIA's Gold categorisation confirms his standing as a full professional in GT and sportscar competition. His career spans thirteen seasons from 2013 to 2026, comprising 103 starts across eight different series with ten wins and twenty-three podiums. The vast majority of his racing has been in the World Endurance Championship, where he has contested thirty-eight races for Duqueine Team since 2018, recording five victories and eight podiums; this series forms the backbone of his record and established his championship credential when he won the 2018 title. His secondary base is the IMSA WeatherTech Championship, where he has taken two wins and six podiums across twenty starts since 2022 while driving for Porsche Penske Motorsport.[1]

Andlauer's competitive record against established rivals is mixed but reflects consistent performance at professional level. In twenty-seven races against Earl Bamber, a Platinum-graded former champion and stronger driver overall, Andlauer has achieved a near-even 14 wins to 13 losses. Against Nicklas Nielsen, another Platinum-graded one-time champion, he holds a clearer 18 to 8 advantage. His record against Marco Sorensen is weighted against him at 9 to 17, suggesting Sorensen has had the upper hand over their twenty-six shared races. He has on occasion finished ahead of significantly stronger drivers such as Alex Palou and Edoardo Mortara, though these remain isolated results rather than patterns of dominance. Across all classified finishes his average grid position is seventh, indicating consistent mid-to-front-field performance without championship-level consistency.[2]

His recent activity shows continued presence in both the WEC and IMSA championships, with a notable victory reported at Sebring in March 2026 followed by a second IMSA win in two races. Andlauer remains an active Porsche factory driver competing in the GTP class, maintaining his role as a professional competitor in modern endurance racing's top tier.
