Lilou Wadoux is to pursue her collaboration with Ferrari as factory driver. With an IMSA title and several records already to her name, the Frenchwoman intends to continue making endurance racing history, 24 Hours of Le Mans included.
Ferrari has confirmed the renewal of Lilou Wadoux’s contract for several years to come. Since she joined the manufacturer in 2023, she has become a rising star, winning the 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD class and earning several international podium places.
Wadoux, who was born in the northern French town of Amiens on 10 April 2001 rapidly gained an international standing. Before joining Ferrari, she learned the ropes in the Peugeot Series in France and then competed at European level in the Alpine Elf Europe Cup. Her already impressive endurance career began in the FIA World Endurance Championship LMP2 class with Richard Mille Racing Team.
Since 2023, Wadoux has driven a Ferrari in 32 races, banking four wins and seven more top three finishes. She was 2025 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD class champion, contributing to the manufacturer and team titles won by Ferrari and AF Corse. Lilou Wadoux was also the first woman to win a FIA WEC race since the championship began in 2012 – the 2023 TotalEnergies 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps in LMGTE Am.
She took part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2023 and 2025 at the wheel of the Ferrari 488 GTE and 296 LMGT3. Her 24 Hours of Le Mans performance proves she can hold her own in one of the world’s most demanding endurance races, where technical mastery, strategy and physical resistance are all-important.

Antonello Coletta, Global Head of Ferrari Endurance and Corse Clienti: "We are pleased to renew the collaboration with Lilou, who has now been part of the Ferrari family for three complete seasons. Over this three-year period our driver has shown significant growth, which has led her to achieve victories in different championships, as well as to win a title in a demanding and very important series such as the IMSA. We are confident the future will bring many more successes."
Lilou Wadoux:"Continuing my journey with Ferrari makes me happy and proud. In my first three years as an official driver for the Prancing Horse I have always felt part of an extraordinary family. During this period, moreover, I achieved some important race successes and an IMSA title that means a great deal to me The aim is to continue along this path to achieve many more victories, continuing to write motorsport pages with Ferrari."
With noticeable performance in IMSA, Super GT in Japon and the FIA WEC, Lilou Wadoux has demonstrated the versatility and the grit that characterises great endurance drivers. The renewed Ferrari contract paves the way to victory on the world’s circuits, including Le Mans.
