Tom Dillmann
Tom Dillmann is a French professional racing driver born on 6 April 1989 in Mulhouse, specializing in prototype endurance racing across series including the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), European Le Mans Series (ELMS), and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, with prior experience in Formula E and single-seater formulas.[1][2][3] Dillmann began his racing career in karting and progressed through single-seater categories, winning the ATS Formula 3 Cup in 2010 and securing his first Formula 2 victory in 2012 while competing in the GP2 Series from 2012 to 2014.[2][4] He achieved further success by clinching the Formula V8 3.5 championship title in 2016, which marked a pivotal step toward endurance racing.[2][4] Transitioning to prototypes, Dillmann debuted at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2018 with ByKolles Racing in the LMP1 class and has since accumulated 27 career wins, 85 podiums, and 27 pole positions across 347 starts in various categories.[1][4] In endurance racing, Dillmann has excelled in the LMP2 class, winning the 2024 IMSA LMP2 title and the 2025 Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, while finishing as vice-champion in the 2025 ELMS.[2][3] He also claimed overall victory in the LMP2 category at the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans with Inter Europol Competition, driving the #43 Oreca 07 alongside teammates Jakub Śmiechowski and Nick Yelloly.[1][2] Additionally, Dillmann serves as a reserve and simulator driver for Jaguar TCS Racing in Formula E, entering his sixth season with the team in 2025/26.[5] His career was interrupted in July 2025 by vertebrae injuries sustained in a crash at Mosport, causing him to miss the IMSA round at Road America.[6]Career
Karting and Formula Renault
Tom Dillmann began his motorsport career in karting in 2000 at the age of 11. He competed in the junior categories, racing with the MG team in 2001. In 2002, at age 13, he achieved a strong result by finishing fourth in the Championnat de France Minime category for the Tom Team.[1] Dillmann transitioned to single-seater racing in 2004, entering the Formula Renault 1600 Belgium series with the Tom Team. He competed in 14 races, securing one victory and two podium finishes en route to fifth place in the overall standings.[1] In 2005, Dillmann stepped up to the competitive Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series, driving for Prema Powerteam and Cram Competition across multiple rounds. He recorded one podium finish during the season, gaining valuable experience in international junior formula racing.[1] Dillmann continued in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 the following year with SG Formula, participating in all 14 rounds. He earned three podiums, demonstrating improved consistency and pace, which propelled him to eighth in the final drivers' standings.[7] These performances in Formula Renault established a solid foundation, leading to his progression into the Formula 3 Euro Series in 2007.[1]Formula 3 Euro Series
Tom Dillmann entered the Formula 3 Euro Series in 2007 as part of the Red Bull Junior Team, racing for ASM Formule 3 after a promising karting career. Despite missing the opening round due to a sternum and vertebrae injury sustained in testing, he achieved three podium finishes and ended the season ninth overall with 23 points, demonstrating consistency in a highly competitive field dominated by future Formula 1 drivers like Romain Grosjean.[8][9] In 2008, Dillmann switched to SG Formula but faced significant challenges, including unreliable equipment and limited budget support after losing Red Bull backing early in the season due to a poor start. His results suffered, with only sporadic top-10 finishes and no podiums, highlighting the financial hurdles that forced him to seek opportunities with under-resourced teams. By 2009, he moved to HBR Motorsport and later Jo Zeller Racing for select rounds, securing a few podiums across six races but struggling overall amid ongoing team instability and funding constraints.[8][10] Dillmann's persistence paid off in 2010 when he focused on the German Formula 3 Championship with HS Technik Motorsport, clinching the title as the first French champion with 120 points and six victories. Key successes included a win at Hockenheim in the season opener and a double podium-capped victory at the Nürburgring, where he outpaced rival Daniel Abt in a tight battle. He also made a partial appearance in the Italian Formula Three Championship, finishing 13th overall with 22 points from four races. In 2011, Dillmann contested two meetings in the Euro Series with Motopark Academy and Carlin, achieving a third-place finish at the Red Bull Ring but limited by financial limitations.[11][12][13][14] These years in Formula 3 marked a period of adaptation for Dillmann, as frequent team changes and budgetary pressures tested his resolve, yet his adaptability and strong performances in the German series provided the breakthrough needed to progress to the GP3 Series.[8]GP3 Series
Following his success in the Formula 3 Euro Series, where he claimed the 2010 title, Dillmann transitioned to the more demanding GP3 Series in 2011, joining the Carlin team for the opening rounds.[1] The series' heightened competition and technical requirements tested his adaptation, as GP3 featured closer racing and higher speeds compared to Formula 3, with Dallara GP3/10 chassis powered by Renault engines.[15] Dillmann started strongly by securing pole position for the season-opening feature race at Istanbul Park, demonstrating his qualifying pace, but converted it to third place in the race before finishing eighth in the sprint event.[16] Mid-season, after underwhelming results with Carlin—including a ninth-place finish in the drivers' standings up to that point—he switched to the Addax Team ahead of the third round at Valencia, seeking improved performance and setup support.[17] The move highlighted his resilience amid the series' intense pressure, where consistent points were crucial against top talents. With Addax, Dillmann achieved his sole podium of the season, finishing third in the rain-affected sprint race at Spa-Francorchamps, capitalizing on a reverse grid start from seventh in the feature race.[18] Key challenges included qualifying difficulties at circuits like Silverstone, where he spun off early in the feature race, and a sprint race retirement at Hungaroring due to mechanical issues after starting from pole in that event.[19] Despite these setbacks, he scored 15 points across 14 races, ending 14th in the championship—a mid-pack result compared to peer Valtteri Bottas, who dominated with four wins and 76 points to secure the title.[1] Dillmann's season underscored his ability to secure standout moments, like the Spa podium, in a field marked by frequent driver and team changes.GP2 Series
Tom Dillmann entered the GP2 Series in 2012 with the Rapax team, marking his debut in the category as a step up from the GP3 Series. He showed promise early on, securing pole position and victory in the sprint race at the Bahrain round, holding off a late challenge from Luiz Razia by just 0.198 seconds to claim his maiden GP2 win. Despite this highlight, his season was inconsistent, with additional points from a podium in the Abu Dhabi feature race, ultimately finishing 15th in the drivers' standings with 29 points.[20][21][22] Returning to GP2 in 2013 with Russian Time, Dillmann demonstrated marked improvement, establishing himself as a consistent midfield performer. He achieved two podium finishes: third place in the Silverstone feature race behind teammate Sam Bird and Stéphane Richelmi, and third in the Monza feature race, contributing to his season total of 92 points, including one pole position and two fastest laps. These results helped him climb to 10th in the championship standings, showcasing better racecraft and reliability compared to his rookie year.[23][24][25] Dillmann's third and final GP2 season in 2014 was hampered by budget constraints and team switches, starting with Arden International before moving to EQ8 Caterham Racing midway through the year. Inconsistencies, including missed rounds due to funding issues, limited his participation and results, with only sporadic strong showings like a pole in Barcelona qualifying. He ended the year 19th overall with 18 points, underscoring the financial challenges that curtailed his potential as a midfield contender in the series.[23][26][27]Formula V8 3.5 Series
Dillmann entered the Formula Renault 3.5 Series in 2015 with the Jagonya Ayam with Carlin team, finishing seventh in the drivers' standings with 122 points from two podiums, one pole position, and one fastest lap. His standout performance came in the season finale at Jerez, where he secured his maiden pole in the category with a lap time of 1:28.621, edging out champion Oliver Rowland by just 0.017 seconds, though he ultimately finished fifth in the opening race after a competitive battle. This debut year demonstrated his adaptability to the high-powered Dallara chassis and Renault V6 engines, setting the stage for a stronger campaign the following season.[28][29] In 2016, the series rebranded as the Formula V8 3.5 and switched to Zytek V8 engines, requiring drivers to adjust to the new power delivery and technical demands that emphasized endurance-like reliability in a single-seater format, often serving as a stepping stone to prototype racing categories. Dillmann joined AVF by Adrian Valles and dominated the championship, clinching the title with 237 points after securing two victories—at the Hungaroring, where he converted pole into his maiden win amid changing weather conditions, and in the decisive Barcelona finale, charging from seventh on the grid to victory and overtaking rival Louis Delétraz by a single point. He also claimed five pole positions across the season, including a dominant run of three consecutive poles leading into the Hungaroring weekend. Key highlights included intense on-track duels with Matthieu Vaxiviere, such as at Hungaroring where Vaxiviere's faster lap was deleted for track limits, allowing Dillmann to start ahead, and in Barcelona's qualifying under mixed conditions, where Dillmann outpaced Vaxiviere for pole.[30][31][32][33] This championship success, achieved in a series known for its technical evolution toward endurance racing preparation, overlapped briefly with Dillmann's early testing in the World Endurance Championship, enhancing his transition to prototype machinery.[34]Super Formula
In 2018, Tom Dillmann made a one-off appearance in the Super Formula championship, competing for the UOMO SUNOCO Team LeMans in the Toyota-powered SF14 chassis across five rounds as a replacement for Pietro Fittipaldi, who was committed to the IndyCar Series.[35] This opportunity provided Dillmann with a return to high-downforce open-wheel racing following his time in GP2 and Formula V8 3.5, allowing him to tackle one of the fastest single-seater series globally.[1] Dillmann's campaign began at the Autopolis round, where he qualified 19th, but the race was ultimately cancelled due to heavy rain and fog, marking an early disruption in his schedule.[36] He adapted to the demanding SF14 chassis—his first experience with Super Formula's potent machinery—securing points on debut with a strong fourth-place finish at Sportsland Sugo after starting from 18th.[37] Subsequent outings included a 12th-place result at Twin Ring Motegi and challenges in qualifying, such as 15th at Suzuka, where he finished 15th in the feature race amid tight competition from established Japanese and international drivers.[38][39] Overall, Dillmann concluded the season 14th in the drivers' standings with 5 points, demonstrating solid pace in race trim despite limited preparation time and the series' steep learning curve on tracks like Fuji and Suzuka.[40] His stint coincided with early involvement in Formula E, where he had substituted in the Berlin ePrix earlier that year for Venturi Grand Prix.[41]Formula E
Tom Dillmann made his Formula E debut with the Venturi Formula E Team at the 2017 Paris ePrix, substituting for Maro Engel, and finished eighth to score points on his first outing in the all-electric series.[42] He continued with Venturi for the remainder of the 2016–17 season (Season 3), participating in seven races and achieving a best finish of fourth in the second Montreal ePrix, which contributed to his 18th place in the drivers' championship with 12 points.[43] In the following 2017–18 season (Season 4), Dillmann raced full-time for Venturi, completing 12 events with consistent point-scoring performances, including another fourth place in the first New York ePrix, ending the year 19th overall with eight points.[44] His time with Venturi highlighted his adaptation to the series' Gen2 car regulations introduced that season, focusing on energy management and qualifying prowess in a competitive midfield.[45] For the 2018–19 season (Season 5), Dillmann switched to the NIO Formula E Team on a full-time basis, contesting all 13 races but struggling with the team's development challenges, resulting in no points and a 23rd-place championship finish. Over his 23 race starts from 2017 to 2019, Dillmann never achieved a podium but earned points in multiple events, underscoring his role as a steady performer in the evolving electric single-seater championship, with a career-best fourth-place finish achieved in prior seasons.[46][47] In 2021, Dillmann transitioned to a reserve and simulator driver role with Jaguar TCS Racing, beginning during Season 7 and contributing to car development through extensive simulation work and testing sessions.[47] He remained in this capacity through subsequent seasons, including occasional on-track testing, as the team adapted to the Gen3 powertrain introduced in Season 9 (2022–23), where his expertise aided in optimizing battery efficiency and regenerative braking systems.[48] By October 2025, Dillmann entered his sixth year with Jaguar, confirmed alongside Stoffel Vandoorne as reserves, focusing on simulator duties while balancing limited endurance racing commitments.[49]World Endurance Championship
Dillmann made his debut in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2015 with the Signatech Alpine team in the LMP2 class, partnering Nelson Panciatici and Paul-Loup Chatin for the final two rounds at Shanghai and Bahrain. In his first race, the 6 Hours of Shanghai, the trio claimed a class victory in the Alpine A450b-Nissan, finishing ninth overall and marking the model's maiden WEC win. At the season finale in Bahrain, they secured pole position in LMP2 with an average qualifying time of 1:49.993 but finished sixth in class after a strong but ultimately challenged run. He added one more LMP2 start in 2016 with Extreme Speed Motorsports at the 6 Hours of Bahrain. Returning to the series in 2018, Dillmann joined ByKolles Racing for a full-time effort in the LMP1 class, driving the Enso CLM P1/01-Gibson across the 2018–19 superseason (eight races) and the shortened 2020 season (five races). As a privateer non-hybrid entrant, the team frequently battled reliability issues, including mechanical failures and accidents that limited finishes, though Dillmann contributed to competitive qualifying efforts, such as eighth on the grid at the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans. Key highlights included a strong showing at the 2020 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, where the car qualified fourth in LMP1 and finished fifth overall—the team's best result of the LMP1 era—thanks to strategic decisions and Dillmann's stints in mixed conditions. At Le Mans, the team retired in 2018 due to an accident at Porsche Curves, in 2019 from mechanical problems by the fifth hour, and in 2020 from power loss, underscoring the challenges of competing against factory hybrid prototypes. In 2023, Dillmann shifted to the inaugural Le Mans Hypercar class with Floyd Vanwall Racing Team, piloting the new Vanwall Vandervell 680 alongside Esteban Guerrieri and Jacques Villeneuve for the opening four rounds, including a DNF at the 24 Hours of Le Mans due to technical woes. Persistent reliability problems plagued the program, leading to Dillmann's mutual departure from the team after Le Mans amid ongoing development issues. Across his WEC appearances from 2015 to 2023, Dillmann accumulated 20 starts, with his standout achievements being the 2015 LMP2 win at Shanghai and the fifth-place overall at Spa in 2020. He subsequently focused on LMP2 racing in the European Le Mans Series and IMSA SportsCar Championship.European Le Mans Series and IMSA SportsCar Championship
In 2024, Tom Dillmann joined Inter Europol Competition for his debut full season in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) LMP2 class, partnering with Sebastian Álvarez and Vlad Lomko in the No. 43 Oreca 07-Gibson. The trio secured a maiden victory for the team at the 4 Hours of Le Castellet, where Dillmann started from second on the grid and contributed to a 14-second margin over the runner-up Cool Racing entry. This win propelled Inter Europol to consistent contention, culminating in a runners-up finish in the LMP2 drivers' and teams' championships with seven podiums across 12 races, including additional seconds at Spa-Francorchamps, Monza, and the season finale at Portimão.[50][51] Dillmann's prior experience in the FIA World Endurance Championship, including stints in LMP1 and Hypercar prototypes, provided a strong foundation for his ELMS transition, enabling quick adaptation to endurance racing demands and team synergy. For 2025, Inter Europol retained Dillmann alongside new teammate Jakub Śmiechowski and Nick Yelloly, forming a Gold-rated lineup focused on title contention. The season began strongly with podiums at Le Castellet (second), Barcelona (third), and Imola (second), establishing the No. 43 as a frontrunner before Dillmann's injury sidelined him temporarily. Despite the setback, the team achieved vice-championship status with five podiums, including a class victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans—Dillmann's first overall Le Mans win—where he shared driving duties with Śmiechowski and Yelloly in a dramatic finish marred by a late penalty for rivals. Dillmann returned at Spa-Francorchamps following clearance after surgery, contributing to further podiums at Silverstone and Portimão to close the season on a high note.[52][53][54] Parallel to his ELMS commitments, Dillmann expanded into the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2024, racing the No. 43 Oreca 07-Gibson for Inter Europol by PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports in LMP2. Teamed primarily with Nick Boulle, he clinched the LMP2 drivers' and teams' titles through consistent performances, highlighted by two victories: the season opener at Daytona (shared with Boulle, Bijoy Garg, and Clément Novalak) and a dominant defense of the lead at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP), where Dillmann fended off late pressure to win by 4.6 seconds. These results, bolstered by additional podiums at Sebring, Long Beach, and Watkins Glen, marked Inter Europol's first IMSA class championship and underscored Dillmann's versatility across North American endurance formats.[55][56] The 2025 IMSA season saw Dillmann continue with Inter Europol, starting with a class win at the 12 Hours of Sebring alongside Boulle, Garg, and Jeremy Clarke, navigating challenging conditions to finish six laps ahead of the next LMP2 contender. Tragedy struck at CTMP in July, when Dillmann crashed from the lead late in the Chevrolet Grand Prix, sustaining a fractured vertebra that required surgery and caused him to miss the subsequent Road America round. Cleared to return by August, he resumed at Road Atlanta's Petit Le Mans, aiding the team's podium efforts despite the earlier disruption. This injury highlighted the physical toll of prototype racing but did not derail Inter Europol's push for repeat success, with Dillmann's recovery reinforcing the squad's depth and podium-focused strategy across series.[57][58][59]Racing record
