At local racing tracks, he gained his first racing experience, continuously improved his driving skills, and stood out early for his feel for fast corners and clever race tactics. This foundation laid the groundwork for his path into professional motorsports.
After successful years in karting, Mann made the leap into junior formula categories, where he worked his way up through the field of junior racing classes. He accumulated valuable experience across various formula series while driving increasingly powerful vehicles before making the jump into GT3 racing. There he proved himself among competitive fields of drivers and established himself for a seat in the FIA WEC, the world endurance championship, which has been the center of his career ever since.

This combination of speed and reliability made him a sought-after pilot in endurance racing.
In the 2026 season, Simon Mann enters the FIA WEC with clear ambitions. The goal is to convert previous progress into concrete podium finishes and class wins and to establish himself as a fixture in the driver field. With growing experience and a well-coordinated team behind him, Mann looks optimistically toward the upcoming season and hopes to further expand his career in the world endurance championship.
