Orey Fidani was born in Rennes and grew up in a family connected to motorsport from an early age. At just eight years old, he sat in a kart for the first time, and it quickly became clear that this would be more than just a hobby. Over several years in France’s regional and later national kart series, he accumulated the experience that laid the foundation for his later career: disciplined race pace, a fine feel for tire management, and the ability to remain consistent even under pressure.
The transition from kart racing to formula racing came through several junior series, in which Fidani worked his way to the top step by step. At the same time, he discovered his passion for GT vehicles and ultimately found his sporting home in the GT3 classes. The combination of formula experience and GT finesse made him a sought-after driver for long-distance projects, which eventually opened the door to the FIA WEC, the premier class of long-distance racing.
Among the greatest achievements of his career so far are several strong results in the GT3 scene, which cemented his reputation as a reliable and fast driver. Particularly the years of his rise toward the WEC are considered formative, during which he continuously improved with changing teams and established himself as a serious name in international long-distance racing. This development ultimately earned him the confidence necessary for a WEC cockpit.
For the 2026 season, Orey Fidani starts with clear ambitions. He continues to compete in the FIA WEC and wants to build on the progress of recent years. His goal is to consistently score points and establish himself in the upper midfield of his class for the long term, with the ambition to fight for podium positions as the season progresses. For fans and observers, he remains one of the drivers who should be watched closely in the new season.
