Lilou Wadoux-Ducellier (born 10 April 2001) is a French professional racing driver who currently races for PONOS Racing in the GT300 class of the Super GT Series. She is the first woman to ever win an FIA World Endurance Championship race and the first woman to drive a Le Mans Hypercar, having previously starred in the Alpine Elf Europa Cup and competed in TCR Europe. Before signing for Ferrari as a factory driver in 2023, she raced in the WEC for Richard Mille's Signatech-run LMP2 team. [1] [2] [3]

Career

Early career

Though her father Cédric was briefly a rally driver, Wadoux spent her youth competing in tennis. She only started karting, mostly for fun, at the late age of 14. [4] [5] Aided by fellow Amiens racing drivers Julien and Florian Briché, she made the jump to competitive circuit racing two years later, in 2017. [6] [7] Starting out in the French lower-division one-make saloon car championships, Wadoux encountered success from early on, with an 8th place (runner-up in the junior class) in the Peugeot 208 Racing Cup followed by 3rd overall the following year. [8] [9] [10] Her 2018 season also included four top-ten finishes from four guest starts in the superior Peugeot 308 Racing Cup, as well as an appearance in a two-day test organised by the FIA Women in Motorsport Commission in Navarra for 15 female racers. [11] [12]

2019 would see Wadoux make the step up to the TCR Europe Touring Car Series with a Peugeot 308 TCR from Briché's JSB Compétition team. However, her season was cut short due to a crash in the third round of the season at Spa-Francorchamps. She was hit by Qatari driver Abdullah Ali Al Khelaifi, who had lost control of his Cupra León TCR after an off at turn 16, and her car rolled several times before it finally came to a stop. [13] [14] She was unharmed, but the financial difficulties following the crash meant she was not able to return to the championship. [15] [16] She returned to racing in October that year, with a one-off appearance in the Clio Cup France at Circuit Paul Ricard that yielded a podium finish. [17] [18]

Alpine Elf Europa Cup

In 2020, Wadoux switched to the one-make Alpine Elf Europa Cup, driving an Alpine A110 for Autosport GP. [19] She had a consistent debut season, finishing all ten races in the top ten with eight junior podiums, but had to settle for 7th in the overall standings. [20] [21]

2021 would prove to be Wadoux's breakthrough year. [22] Continuing in the Alpine Elf Europa Cup with Autosport GP, she finished eight of the 12 races on the overall podium and was part of a three-way title fight with reigning champion Jean-Baptiste Mela and single-seater graduate Ugo de Wilde that went down to the wire. [23] [24] [25] She won one race at the season finale in Portimão and eventually finished third overall, second in the junior standings. [26] [27]

A highlight of Wadoux's 2021 season came at the Circuit de la Sarthe in August. Racing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans-supporting round of the Porsche Sprint Challenge France, in a car and circuit she was new to, Wadoux set pole position by a full three seconds and dominated the race from lights to flag. [28] [29]

Endurance racing

In November 2021 Wadoux, as well as W Series drivers Jamie Chadwick and Alice Powell, was invited by the all-female LMP2 Richard Mille Racing Team to take part in the post-season FIA World Endurance Championship rookie test at Bahrain. [30] [31] [32] She impressed the most, and was signed for the 2022 season as part of the team's switch to a mixed lineup, alongside ELMS champion Charles Milesi and WRC legend Sébastien Ogier. [33] [34] [35] The trio completed the opening three rounds of the season together, ending with sixth place at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, before experienced LMP2 racer Paul-Loup Chatin took over from Ogier. Chatin served a mentoring role for Wadoux, guiding her during their time as teammates and also helping the team reach new heights. [36] [37] At the fourth round in Monza, the trio were running in third place with just over two hours to go when Prema's Robert Kubica lost control of his car into the first corner and sent Chatin into a spin. The incident damaged the Richard Mille car's gearbox, dropping the team from podium positions to outside the points. [38] After eighth place in the final two events at Fuji and Bahrain, Wadoux and Milesi finished 12th in the standings with 30 points.

In late 2022, Wadoux was named as one of four drivers to be invited by the WEC to take part in the post-season rookie test at Bahrain. She drove the title-winning Hypercar, that being the Toyota GR010 Hybrid, and thus became the first woman to drive a top-class prototype since Vanina Ickx in 2011. [39] [40]

Wadoux's win at the 2023 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps was the first for a woman in the FIA World Endurance Championship. 2023 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps Richard Mille AF Corse Ferrari 488 GTE Evo No.83 (DSC01006).jpg
Wadoux's win at the 2023 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps was the first for a woman in the FIA World Endurance Championship.

In 2023, the Frenchwoman made history again by becoming the first ever female Ferrari factory driver. Moving over from prototypes to GT cars but remaining in the WEC, Wadoux signed for the Richard Mille-backed AF Corse team. She raced a Ferrari 488 GTE Evo in the LMGTE Am category alongside bronze-rated Luis Pérez Companc and fellow factory driver Alessio Rovera. [41] [42] The campaign started out in disappointing fashion, as teammate Companc crashed spectacularly in the opening laps of the 1000 Miles of Sebring, forcing the team to retire. [43] This would be followed up with redemption however, as Wadoux proved to be an instrumental part of the team's next performance at the 6 Hours of Portimão, taking the lead during the second hour, before a charging stint from Rovera led the #83 crew to finish second, mere two tenths behind the leading #33 Corvette of Nicky Catsburg. [44] [45] Two weeks later, after a dominant display at Spa-Francorchamps, Wadoux became the first female driver to ever win a race in the FIA World Endurance Championship. [46] The trio eventually finished eighth in the standings after a run of bad fortune in the final few races. In November, Wadoux featured at the Bahrain test again, this time driving Ferrari's Le Mans-winning 499P Hypercar. [47] She placed third out of the 18 drivers, only beaten by Robert Shwartzman and Norman Nato. [48]

Super GT

Wadoux embarked on a new challenge in 2024 as she moved to the Japanese Super GT series. She is set to race with the GAINER-run PONOS Racing squad, sharing a Ferrari 296 GT3 in the GT300 class with veteran Kei Cozzolino. [49]

Personal life

In her early teenage years before taking up racing, Wadoux competed in tennis. She says her idols are tennis player Rafael Nadal and Formula One world champion Ayrton Senna, who her father, an amateur rally driver, admired in the 90s. [50]
