Sarrazin Stéphane(France, 02/11/1975)

Stphane Sarrazin (born on 2 November 1975 in Als, France) is a French racing driver who built an extremely varied career across single-seaters, Formula 1 and endurance racing, distinguishing himself above all in long-distance competitions and manufacturer factory programmes.

After his beginnings in karting, Sarrazin moved to single-seaters, winning the French Formula Renault championship in 1994 with the Graff Racing team. In the following years he competed in French Formula 3 and the British Formula 3 championship, achieving victories and podiums that brought him to the attention of Prost Grand Prix, with whom he made his Formula 1 debut at the 1999 Brazilian Grand Prix, called up to replace Luca Badoer. His experience in the Circus was limited to a single race, which ended with retirement due to mechanical problems.

After leaving Formula 1, Sarrazin directed his career towards endurance racing, becoming one of the reference drivers on the international scene. From 2000 he entered Toyota’s sporting programme, with which he achieved notable results in the main endurance races. Over the years he claimed two victories at the 12 Hours of Sebring (2003 and 2005), a victory at the Petit Le Mans and numerous podiums in the American Le Mans Series and the FIA World Endurance Championship.

In parallel, Sarrazin took part in several editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he climbed the overall podium multiple times, establishing himself as a specialist in long races thanks to an aggressive but extremely effective driving style over long stints. In 2011 he also won the 24 Hours of Nrburgring with Audi, adding another prestigious success to his record.

In later years he further expanded his activity, participating in official programmes with Toyota, Audi and, more recently, Peugeot, with whom he took part in the Hypercar project in the FIA WEC. In this context he played a key role in car development, alternating racing with technical development activities.

Among the curiosities of his career, Sarrazin is known as one of the most eclectic drivers of his generation, capable of moving from single-seaters to touring cars and on to Hypercars while always maintaining a high level of competitiveness. He has also often been used as a reference test driver for the development of new endurance cars.
