Over a 17-season career spanning from 2004 to 2025, Pilet has accumulated 139 starts across multiple series, with 10 wins and 42 podiums, and maintains an average finishing position of P6.3 across classified starts.[1]

Pilet has built his career primarily in endurance racing, competing most frequently in the IMSA WeatherTech series between 2016 and 2023, where he recorded six wins and 19 podiums across 51 starts, predominantly for Pfaff Motorsports. His World Endurance Championship record spans 13 seasons from 2012 to 2025, yielding two wins and 17 podiums from 35 starts with RLR M Sport.
