Paul Di Resta is an established professional racing driver competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship for Peugeot, where he races LMP2 prototypes in WEC and IMSA WeatherTech alongside endurance campaigns in the Asian and European Le Mans series. A Platinum-graded driver in FIA sportscar classification, he is currently active in the 2026 WEC season, sitting 17th in championship standings after six rounds.[1]
Di Resta won the 2006 Formula 3 Euro Series championship with ASM Formule 3, his breakthrough season as a single-seater competitor. He raced in Formula 1 from 2011 to 2017, making 59 starts largely for Force India without securing a podium finish. Since returning to racing in 2018, he has competed primarily in endurance racing, taking five wins in the WEC and two in IMSA WeatherTech, with nine podiums across his WEC campaigns to date.[2]
In WEC and IMSA, Di Resta shares grids with multiple former Formula 1 drivers and established professionals graded at the same level. He has finished ahead of Nico Rosberg on nine occasions in endurance racing and regularly contests races against Kamui Kobayashi, a two-time WEC winner and 2005 Formula Renault Eurocup champion with whom he is closely matched. His record against Sebastian Vettel, the four-time Formula 1 world champion now competing in endurance racing, typically sees him finishing behind the German driver.
