Kévin Estre - Site officiel

In June 2018, Kévin Estre won the LM GTE Pro category in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, certainly his biggest victory to date. A year later he achieved another major milestone in his sporting career by winning the GT FIA World Endurance Drivers’ Championship after an exceptional super season that lasted more than 13 months. The Frenchman and his Danish team-mate, Michael Christensen, completed the 85 hours and 45 minutes racing on the 2018-2019 calendar in their #92 Porsche 911 RSR. Thus, the two men rejoined their team on the roll call of honour as Porsche had already clinched the manufacturers’ championship title at the 2019 6 Hours of Spa.

Kévin Estre is a Porsche works driver in the grand touring category, at the summit of the endurance pyramid since 2016. This year, the man from Lyon scored what is the greatest victory in his career so far at the wheel of the 911 RSR in the emblematic Pink Pig livery. He went on to stand on the topmost step of the podium in LM GTE Pro at the Le Mans 24 Hours with Laurens Vanthoor and his regular teammate Michael Christensen. The French-Danish pairing have finished in the top 3 in the first five rounds of the world endurance championship (FIA WEC) and have built up a good lead in the provisional classification.

Twenty-eight-year-old Kevin Estre is racing for the works Porsche GT team in the FIA World Endurance Championship in the LM GTE Pro category. The third round of the season is also the French event and the greatest endurance race in the world. The Lyon-born French driver who has been living in Austria with his wife, Carolin, for the last few years is dreaming of adding victory in the Le Mans 24 Hours to his laurels. He set the third-quickest time in the GT category at the test day on 4th June and he talks about the question that all the favourites, and the majority of outsiders, are asking themselves with 10 days to go to the start: what do you have to do to win Le Mans?
