🇫🇷 Thomas Laurent

Thomas Laurent is a professional endurance driver rated FIA Gold, competing in multiclass prototype racing across the World Endurance Championship and European Le Mans Series. He drives LMP prototypes for DKR Engineering in the 2025 European Le Mans Series and competed for Signatech Alpine in the WEC from 2017 to 2020, where he scored four wins and eleven podiums across twenty-five starts in LMP1 and LMP2 machinery.[1]

His record spans seven seasons from 2017, taking five wins and fourteen podiums across three series. In WEC he established himself as a front-running prototype driver with Signatech Alpine, finishing second at the 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans and third in 2018. He has since moved to European Le Mans Series with DKR Engineering, where he has raced LMP2 and LMP3 prototypes, and took his first Road to Le Mans victory in 2025.[2]

Laurent has regularly raced against established professionals in shared-car endurance fields. He has finished ahead of Ben Hanley, a fellow Gold-graded driver with extensive WEC and European Le Mans Series experience, more often than not, and has split results closely with Mathias Beche, another Gold-graded prototype regular with over fifty WEC starts. He has finished ahead of Fernando Alonso, the two-time Formula 1 champion and 2018 WEC LMP1 champion, and twice beaten António Félix da Costa, the 2019 Formula E champion and 2022 WEC LMP2 champion, in shared-car endurance racing where grid position and pit strategy shape the outcome as much as individual pace.
