Thomas Drouet (born 17 November 1998 in Saint-Jean) is a French racing driver competing in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup for HRT Ford Performance.[2][3]
Career
[edit]Drouet made his single-seater debut in 2017, in the French F4 Championship.[4] In his only year in single-seater competition, Drouet scored one win but struggled to finish higher than eighth outside of that. He finished in 14th place in the standings.[5][6]
He would switch to GT racing, driving for AKKA ASP in the French GT4 Cup in the Pro-Am class.[7] Drouet also competed in the GT4 International Cup with the same team and the owner, Jérôme Policand.[8] In the GT4 Cup, he finished on the podium twice in 12 races and was tenth in the standings. The main race at the International Cup in Bahrain saw Drouet and Policand finish fourth in class and fifth overall.[9]
In 2019, Drouet again competed in the French GT4 Cup with AKKA ASP and scored his first win in GT competition and three podiums, finishing sixth in the Pro-Am class.[10] He raced in two VLN events in a BMW 325i in the V4 class.[11][12]
Drouet stepped up to compete in two races in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup in 2020 with AKKA ASP. Driving with Fabien Barthez and Jim Pla, he scored pole position in his first race at the Nürburgring, finishing third in Pro-Am, whilst also setting the fastest lap in class.[13] Then at the 24 Hours of Spa, the team would retire after sustaining damage from an accident after completing 275 laps. Another season in the Silver class in the French GT4 Cup, Drouet finished fourth, winning two rounds.
In 2021, Drouet finally came out on top in the French GT4 Cup, winning the Pro-Am title with AKKA ASP Team at the final round in Paul Ricard.[14] He competed in the full GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup in the Silver class.[15] He won two races at Paul Ricard and Barcelona, en route to a second-place finish in the championship.
Drouet had a breakout year in 2022, finishing third in the French GT4 Cup, whilst also racing full-time in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup and four races in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup with AKKODIS ASP Team.[16][17] In the sprint cup, he finished on the podium seven times placing second in the Silver class. In the endurance cup, he finished ninth, with one fastest lap and podium. Following this season, he was promoted by the FIA from Silver to Gold categorisation.[1]
Following his upgrade to Gold, he competed in the Pro class in the 2023 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.[18] The season was tough for Drouet and Mercedes-AMG Team AKKodis ASP, finishing in the points only once at Barcelona, placing 22nd overall.
In 2024, Drouet raced with Boutsen VDS in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup for the full season with Maximilian Götz and a rotation of Mercedes-AMG drivers.[19] it was a relatively average season, with a highest finish of sixth at Monza, Drouet finished in 12th overall.
Drouet left Mercedes and joined Ford for the 2025 season competing in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup with HRT Ford Performance in the pro class.[20]
