Paul-Loup Chatin

Paul-Loup Chatin was born in France and, like many of his countrymen, found his way to motorsport through karting. His talent behind the wheel of fast vehicles became apparent early on, allowing him to make the leap from the junior categories to higher formula and sportscar series relatively quickly. These karting years laid the foundation for a career that would later take him to the world’s most prestigious endurance racing championships.

Through the classic junior formula series, Chatin found his way into sportscar racing, where he quickly established himself in the LMP2 class. His consistent performance in the European Le Mans Series opened the door to factory drives and eventually to the FIA WEC, where he earned a reputation as a reliable and quick prototype driver in the years that followed. His moves between European and American sportscar series became a defining element of his career.

Chatin’s greatest career successes came in the LMP2 class across multiple continents. As early as 2014, he claimed the title in the European Le Mans Series, a success he repeated in the same series in 2019. These European championships underscored his reputation as one of the strongest LMP2 drivers of his generation. In 2023, he expanded his list of achievements with another significant title when he won the LMP2 class of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, proof of his adaptability to different race formats and circuits on both sides of the Atlantic.

In the 2026 season, Paul-Loup Chatin continues his career in endurance racing, bringing his years of LMP2 experience and international racing expertise to his current engagement. His goal remains to build on his past successes and fight for podium finishes and victories both in the FIA WEC standings and at major endurance classics. Fans and observers of the scene can look forward to seeing how the experienced Frenchman performs in the new season and whether he can add another chapter to his impressive collection of titles.
