Kévin Estre - Site officiel

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?

In 2016, Frenchman Kevin Estre will take a vitally important step in his career. After two seasons at McLaren GT crowned with pole positions, victories and records he will become a works driver for German manufacturer, Porsche. His programme will include the North American Endurance Championship, which comprises the four most prestigious long-distance events in the USA, while in Europe he will be on the grid for the Nürburging 24 Hours and also the Le Mans 24 Hours if Porsche’s invitation requests are approved by the Automobile Club de l’Ouest’s Selection Committee. Other outings may be added to his schedule depending on the needs of his new employer.
