Romain Brandela is a retired professional sportscar driver who raced in the FIA GT Championship and the World Endurance Championship between 2007 and 2017. His career comprised eight starts across both series, the majority with Larbre Competition, and he shared his cars with rotating co-drivers in endurance racing across single-class GT machinery and multiclass grids mixing prototypes and GT cars.[1]
Brandela competed in the FIA GT Championship from 2007 to 2009 with three starts for MP Racing, then moved to the WEC from 2013 to 2017, where he made five starts, primarily in the LMGTE Am class with Larbre Competition. He finished 14th in the WEC championship standings in 2017, his final season of racing.[2]
He raced regularly against established professionals including Patrick Long and Pedro Lamy, both FIA Platinum graded drivers with extensive WEC experience and multiple championships between them; Brandela typically finished behind both. He did on occasion finish ahead of stronger drivers, including Ricky Taylor, a multiple-time IMSA WeatherTech champion, and Ho-Pin Tung, the 2018 WEC LMP2 champion, though such results were rare against opponents of that calibre.
