🇫🇷 Pierre Thiriet

Pierre Thiriet is a retired French endurance racing driver who raced in the World Endurance Championship's LMP2 prototype class for Signatech Alpine Matmut from 2012 to 2019. He competed as an established professional across eight seasons; his rating of 4,917 reflects consistent performance against peers in a shared-drive discipline where co-drivers' results carry equal weight in the record.[1]

Thiriet took three wins and eleven podiums across twenty WEC starts. His breakthrough came in 2012, when he finished second in the LMP2 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and won the European Le Mans Series in the same class. He remained active in the WEC through 2019, his final season producing three podiums and a tenth-place championship standing across the three rounds raced.[2]

His regular opposition included Ho-Pin Tung, a 2018 WEC LMP2 champion with extensive single-seater experience across GP2 and Formula E, with whom Thiriet proved closely matched. He typically finished ahead of Roberto Gonzalez, another established professional and the 2022 WEC LMP2 champion. Thiriet also finished ahead of Jean-Eric Vergne and Anthony Davidson on multiple occasions; Vergne is a two-time Formula E champion with Formula 1 and extensive WEC experience, while Davidson won the 2014 WEC LMP1 title and raced in Formula 1.
