Fresh from claiming the 2025 F1 Academy crown, Doriane Pin is set to return to her endurance racing roots with a high-profile move into the European Le Mans Series, joining Duqueine Team for the upcoming campaign.
The 22-year-old French driver will contest the ELMS season in the LMP2 ProAm class, piloting the #30 Oreca 07 alongside Giorgio Roda and Richard Verschoor. The programme marks Pin’s return to prototype racing since switching to single-seaters in 2024.
Pin returns to LMP2 on the back of a championship-winning F1 Academy campaign, in which she secured the 2025 title following a remarkable season that included four victories and eight podium finishes. Over her two-year stint in the all-female series, she scored points in every race she contested, having already finished runner-up with three wins during her rookie season in 2024.
Pin was recently confirmed as a Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 Development Driver, continuing her relationship with the manufacturer after two seasons within its junior programme. The role strengthens her ties to the F1 team while allowing her to maintain an active racing programme beyond single-seaters.
Before transitioning to open wheels, Pin had already built an impressive résumé in endurance competitions: she was named Revelation of the Year in the FIA World Endurance Championship after scoring podium finishes in LMP2, and has also competed extensively in GT3 machinery. As a member of the Iron Dames project, she raced in the WEC, ELMS, GT World Challenge Europe and IMSA, gaining experience across a wide range of cars and circuits.
Her return to ELMS with Duqueine Team secures a high level racing program for the Frenchwoman, with a competitive line-up that will be aiming to fight at the front of the ProAm.
