Philippe Descombes is a professional endurance racing driver, FIA Silver-graded, competing in multiclass sportscar championships. He races Porsche 911 GT3 Cup machinery for Modena Motorsports, fielding a car shared among multiple drivers across long-distance events. His primary series is the 24H Series, a globally run 24-hour endurance championship that fields amateurs, semi-professionals and graded professionals in the same race.[1]
Descombes has four indexed starts across two series, from 2019 onwards. He took a race win in the 24H Series and holds a podium finish in that championship. His single appearance in GT World Challenge Europe, a European endurance series with a similar mixed-grade field, placed him 38th in the season standings.[2]
The calibre of opposition in his races includes established professionals and Platinum-graded drivers such as Jules Gounon, a veteran of GT World Challenge Europe with 63 starts in that series alone. Descombes has finished ahead of Gounon and the Gold-graded Jordan Pepper, though shared-car endurance racing means such results reflect the combined pace of his co-drivers as well as his own. Modena Motorsports, his sole team, has fielded drivers including the established professional Mathias Beche and has won eight races across the index.
