Julien Andlauer
Julien Andlauer (born 5 July 1999 in Lyon) is a French racing driver. He is a Porsche factory driver who competes in a range of championships having won both French and German Carrera Cup Championships. Andlauer currently competes for Porsche Penske Motorsport in the Hypercar class of the WEC, driving the #5.
Following a career in karting and a lone season in the French F4 Championship in 2015 where he scored two podiums and finished eighth overall, Andlauer moved to the Porsche Carrera Cup France. After finishing fifth in the standings with Saintéloc Racing, he would score seven wins in 2017 to win the French title as part of the Martinet by Alméras outfit. Andlauer became a Porsche junior driver near the end of the year, having impressed the German manufacturer in a two-day talent shootout at the Lausitzring.
As part of his selection in the shootout, Andlauer would progress to the Porsche Supercup in 2018. Remaining with Martinet by Alméras, he would score both wins at the season-ending round in Mexico City and ended up fourth in the standings.
During 2018, Andlauer would also make his debut in the FIA World Endurance Championship, competing in the LMGTE Am category for Dempsey-Proton Racing alongside Matt Campbell and team owner Christian Ried. Having started out with a fourth place in Spa, the trio would end up winning their class at the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans, making Andlauer the youngest driver to triumph in the race's history at the age of 18. The team added another win at Silverstone, but a disqualification at the subsequent round in Fuji for data manipulation was compounded by the team losing all points from the opening four races of the WEC season. Two back-to-back victories at Shanghai and Sebring followed, before Andlauer missed the 2019 Spa event. He returned for the final round - the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans - in which the team finished fourth. As a result of his performances, having helped Proton to win four races and finish second in the teams' standings, Andlauer was promoted to gold ranking by the FIA from 2019 onwards.
In addition, Andlauer returned to the Porsche Supercup in 2019, whilst also competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany. Driving for BWT Lechner Racing in both series, he would win the German championship, having taken five victories, and finished third in the Supercup with two wins.
At the conclusion of the year, Andlauer was promoted from junior driver to young professional status by Porsche.
2020 saw Andlauer competing in the Michelin Le Mans Cup, driving a Porsche 911 GT3 R for Pzoberer Zürichsee by TFT alongside gentleman driver Nicolas Leutwiler. The pair finished third in the standings, winning races in Le Castellet and Monza.
After finishing second in the Asian Le Mans Series at the beginning of 2021, Andlauer would remain in the MLMC with Pzoberer Zürichsee and Leutwiler, whilst also returning to the GTE Am class of the WEC with Dempsey-Proton Racing for four rounds. These included another appearance at Le Mans, where the Frenchman would score pole in his class. Andlauer helped Leutwiler towards two victories in the Le Mans Cup, which included a win at the Road to Le Mans event.
