Paul-Loup Chatin began karting as a teenager before graduating to single-seaters in 2010. He clinched the Volant Euro Formula title before successive championship podiums in the following seasons. His move to Endurance racing led to immediate success with a LMPC-class title in the 2013 European Le Mans Series.
The following year he won the European LMP2 title with Signatech Alpine. The ‘Prix Jean Rondeau’ award recognised his talent, perseverance and bravery following a class podium at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
He then helped Alpine move up to the FIA World Endurance Championship before taking on new challenges; he won his second European Le Mans title in 2019 and the iconic 24 Hours of Daytona in 2021, before lifting the IMSA LMP2 trophy in 2023. His incisive driving style helped seal Alpine's fourth place in the manufacturers’ championship in 2024.
"I want to thank Alpine for their continued confidence in 2025. I'm already looking forward to the calendar's first race to see where we stand with all the experience gained in 2024. We've had a year of learning in which we perfected and improved our car throughout the season. We hope our efforts will bear fruit, and Qatar will be the first litmus test."
