Salih Yoluç was born on March 14, 1994 in Istanbul and grew up in a family that has always been devoted to motorsport. Already in his childhood, he sat in karts and collected his first racing experience on Turkish and European tracks. These early years in karting laid the technical and mental foundation that would accompany him later on his path through the international junior series, and it soon became clear that he was aiming for a career beyond a hobby.
The transition from karts to formula and GT vehicles was purposeful. Yoluç progressed through several European formula and GT junior series before making the leap into the GT3 class, where he quickly established himself as a consistent and fast driver. Through good results in endurance series, he proved himself worthy of prototype programs and eventually found his way into the LMP2 class, which later opened the door to the FIA WEC, the top class of international endurance racing.
Among the greatest successes of his career so far is the title win in the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup 2019 in the Pro-Am class, with which he presented himself for the first time on a major international stage as a winner. More milestones in the endurance world followed: in 2022 he secured the title of the European Le Mans Series in the LMP2 category, a year later, in 2023, he also crowned himself champion of the Asian Le Mans Series, also in LMP2. These successes underscored his versatility both on short sprint distances and on long endurance classics.
In the 2026 season, Salih Yoluç competes as part of the FIA WEC, where he wants to continue to prove his skills in the world championship for endurance racing. His goal for the coming season is to build on the successes of previous years and to position himself as far forward as possible both in his team’s championship standings and in the overall standings. With his experience from GT3 and LMP2 programs, he brings the necessary tools to play an important role in the fight for class victories in the new season as well.
