Doriane Pin appointed Development Driver for Team Peugeot TotalEnergies in the FIA World Endurance Championship

2025 F1 ACADEMY Champion Doriane Pin has been announced as a Development Driver for Team Peugeot TotalEnergies. The Frenchwoman will also participate in the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship Rookie Test in Bahrain this November, contributing to the development of the PEUGEOT 9X8 Hypercar.

Pin will collaborate directly with the top level FIA WEC manufacturer, undertaking simulator sessions and working closely with the engineering teams.

“Joining Team Peugeot TotalEnergies as a Development Driver is a great source of pride for me," said Pin. "Being able to contribute to the development of the PEUGEOT 9X8 represents a real opportunity.

"My goal is to learn as much as possible, fully integrate into the team, and bring my commitment and perspective to help contribute to the success of the project. It’s a big step toward my goals, and I’m determined to make the most of it with the ambition of becoming an official driver.”

Emmanuel Esnault, Team Principal of Team Peugeot TotalEnergies, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Doriane to the Peugeot Sport family. Doriane’s track record and dynamic approach make her a fantastic addition to our development program. We’re looking forward to the new perspectives she will bring as we continue refining the 9X8 and we are eager to see her get behind the wheel during the FIA WEC Rookie Test in Bahrain this November.”
