Doriane Pin Returns to Sportscar Racing for 2026 ELMS Season
Doriane Pin, the 22-year-old French driver and reigning F1 Academy champion, will return to sportscar racing in 2026, competing in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) with the Duqueine Team. Pin will pilot the #30 ORECA 07-Gibson alongside teammates Giorgio Roda and Richard Verschoor. This season marks a revamped strategy for Duqueine, partnering with R-ACE GP.
Pin, a member of the Iron Dames, has previously demonstrated her prowess in sportscars, last racing at the 2024 6 Hours of Imola before shifting focus to single-seater racing. Her prior experience in the ELMS includes a successful stint in 2022, where she captured the LMGTE category title at the Portimão finale in a Ferrari 488 GTE Evo. Additionally, she made her prototype debut in the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship, securing a podium finish at the 1000 Miles of Sebring.
In conjunction with her ELMS campaign, Pin will also continue her association with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team as a Development Driver.
The 2026 ELMS season kicks off from April 10-12 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
