Romain Dumas

Romain Dumas is one of the most versatile endurance drivers of his generation and has built a reputation that extends far beyond the classic sports car scene over decades. His career began, like most drivers in his profession, in karting, where he developed the fundamental skills for his later racing career. From there, he progressed through the usual junior series into professional motorsport and increasingly specialized in GT and prototype categories that suited his driving strengths.

His rise through the Formula and GT3 classes eventually brought Dumas to the FIA WEC endurance world championship, where he established himself as one of the most consistent and technically skilled drivers in the field. His feel for vehicle setup and his endurance over very long race distances made him a sought-after driver for factory programs competing at the highest level for championships and major classics.

His career highlight to date is undoubtedly winning the WEC LMP1 Drivers’ World Championship in 2016, a title that definitively catapulted Dumas into the ranks of the great endurance champions. This success underscored his ability to deliver consistent performances throughout an entire season even in the most demanding prototype class and to prevail against the strongest competition of the era.

In the 2026 season, Romain Dumas competes once again in the FIA WEC and brings his many years of experience to a factory program aiming for top finishes in both the overall and class standings. His goal remains to build on past successes and to secure valuable points and podium finishes for the team through his consistency and strategic race understanding over the entire endurance season.
