Mathieu Jaminet holds a Racer Rating of 5,849, placing him in the established professional band; this is the level of a full-time factory sportscar driver, winning regularly in the world's strongest GT and endurance fields. His FIA categorisation is Gold, the top professional grade in sportscar racing. Over 11 seasons and 105 starts, Jaminet has recorded 17 wins and 39 podiums, averaging a seventh-place finish. His record in IMSA WeatherTech is the centrepiece of his career: 12 wins and 30 podiums across 51 starts for Porsche Penske Motorsport, including back-to-back championships in 2022 (GTD Pro) and 2025 (GTP). He has also won four times in the ADAC GT Masters and once in GT World Challenge Europe, though his entries in the FIA World Endurance Championship have not yielded a podium across 13 starts with Genesis Magma Racing.[1]

Jaminet's competitive standing is evidenced by a consistent head-to-head record against professional-level rivals. Across 45 shared races with Nick Yelloly, an FIA Platinum professional, Jaminet finished ahead 27 times; he also leads his records against Philipp Eng (28 ahead in 40 races), Connor De Phillippi (28 ahead in 39 races), and multiple other established professionals. He has occasionally finished ahead of much stronger drivers from single-seaters and open-wheel racing: Alex Palou, a four-time IndyCar champion, appears three times with Jaminet ahead, and Pascal Wehrlein, a Formula E champion rated in the elite professional band, twice. These isolated results reflect the different contexts in which they race rather than a pattern of dominance, but they demonstrate Jaminet's competitive credibility in the sportscar arena where his career is built.[2]

Jaminet's trajectory shows a driver who has become a reliable front-runner in factory IMSA competition but has struggled to replicate that form in WEC; his shift to Genesis Magma Racing for the 2026 WEC season marks a new challenge after a decade as a Porsche factory driver. Early activity in 2026 has been encouraging, with Genesis topping a practice session at Le Mans in July, though he remains without a podium in the championship so far.
