Key Information
Career
[edit]Karting and Formula Renault
[edit]As the son of retired racing driver, mechanic and team manager Gerard Dillmann, Tom Dillmann started his career by winning the regional Alsace soapbox championship in 1999. He raced go-karts from 2000 to 2002 in the minime and junior classes, and won a regional title and also achieved fourth place in the French championship. In 2003, Dillmann tested a prototype made by his father. He drove the car, powered by a motorbike engine, on circuit and ice.
In 2004, Dillmann entered the Formula Renault 1600 Belgium series with his family-run Tom Team. He finished fifth in the championship with three podiums, including a victory at Spa-Francorchamps. He also contested selected races of the Formula Renault Monza and Formula Junior 1600 Spain championships, taking a podium finish in the latter. Dillmann moved into the Formula Renault Eurocup in 2005, as part of a three-car Prema Powerteam effort alongside Kamui Kobayashi and Patrick Rocha.[2] Dillmann contested the first three meetings with Prema, before moving to Cram Competition for the next two meetings. Having failed to score points to that point, Dillmann elected to stand down from his drive due to a lack of experience. He also contested three meetings of the French championship, but failed to score any points.
He returned to the European series at the start of the 2006 season; again as part of a three-car team, this time with SG Formula, along with Sten Pentus and Carlo van Dam. Alongside his Eurocup commitments, Dillmann contested the majority of the French Formula Renault Championship. In the Eurocup, Dillmann achieved his first podium at the third meeting of the season, as he finished second behind Dani Clos at Misano.[3] He added two further second places at the final meeting of the season in Barcelona, finishing behind eventual series champion Filipe Albuquerque on both occasions.[4][5] Dillmann finished eighth in the championship. In the French championship, Dillmann finished in tenth place after taking two consecutive victories late in the season, at Le Mans and Magny-Cours.
Formula Three
[edit]Prior to the 2007 season, Dillmann became a member of the Red Bull Junior Team, alongside fellow French driver Jean-Karl Vernay.[6] With added financial support from Red Bull, Dillmann entered the Formula 3 Euro Series with ASM,[7] joining Romain Grosjean, Nico Hülkenberg and Kamui Kobayashi at the team. Dillmann missed the opening meeting of the year after a pre-season testing crash left him with a broken sternum and vertebra, but finished the season ninth overall after taking three podiums during the season. Following the season, Dillmann became the rookie driver for A1 Team Switzerland in A1 Grand Prix; he was a member of the team at the Taupo and Eastern Creek rounds in 2008.[8][9]
Dillmann remained in the Euro Series for the 2008 season, again with Red Bull backing, and rejoined his former Formula Renault team SG Formula, who were moving up to the Euro Series for the first time.[10] Dillmann set the fastest lap on the first day of testing at Estoril,[11] but could not repeat this form early in the season; his best finish in the first three meetings was a fifteenth-place finish at Hockenheim. This series of results cost him his place on the Red Bull Junior Team.[12] Dillmann returned to the series later in the season at the Nürburgring, with the Jo Zeller Racing team,[13] after they parted with Michael Klein. He qualified third for the Saturday race and finished the race in the same position,[14] before taking a fifth place in the Sunday race.[15] Dillmann did not continue with the team beyond that meeting, and was classified 18th in the final drivers' championship standings. Instead, Dillmann ended the season in the Italian Formula Three Championship with the Europa Corse team. In three meetings, Dillmann recorded two second places and two third places, and ended the season in seventh place in the championship.
Despite this, Dillmann started the 2009 season without a drive. After sitting on the sidelines in the first half of the year, Dillmann replaced Kevin Mirocha at HBR Motorsport in the Euro Series; ahead of the Oschersleben meeting of the championship.[16] He finished outside the top 20 in both races, but remained with the team for the following event at the Nürburgring, where he recorded a best result of fourteenth place. Dillmann also contested the final two meetings of the season; he competed at Dijon with Prema Powerteam,[17] and again with HBR Motorsport, at Hockenheim. Aside from his Euro Series commitments, Dillmann raced in the final three meetings of the German Formula Three Championship with Neuhauser Racing; joining the series at the Nürburgring.[18] Dillmann was on the pace immediately, taking pole position for the second race of the weekend; he finished both races on the podium, with a third place and a victory in the second race.[19] Dillmann also won races at the Sachsenring and Oschersleben, to finish sixth in the drivers' championship, having competed in just six races.
Dillmann competed full-time in German Formula Three in the 2010 Formel 3 season, moving to the HS Technik team.[20] At the first meeting of the year at Oschersleben, Dillmann won the second race on-the-road, before being demoted to seventh after a post-race penalty for jumping the start.[21] Dillmann's first two victories of the season came at the following meeting, at the Sachsenring. Dillmann won both races during the weekend, to move into the championship lead.[22][23] Dillmann extended his championship lead after a third victory of the season, from pole position, at Hockenheim.[24] A strong weekend for Van Amersfoort Racing's Daniel Abt at Assen moved him ahead of Dillmann in the championship, but Dillmann took the championship lead once again after a double win at the Nürburgring.[25] Consistent points finishes were the key to Dillmann's second half of the campaign, going on a run of five races without a podium, but his championship lead was slightly reduced by Abt. Dillmann achieved another victory at the Nürburgring during the championship's second visit to the circuit, and held a nine-point championship lead over Abt into the final meeting of the season at Oschersleben.[26] Dillmann finished second to Abt in the opening race at Oschersleben, to reduce the advantage to seven points; but Dillmann ultimately prevailed, as Abt failed to score points in the final race due to a broken lambda sensor.[27] Dillmann, who had earlier retired with a fuel pump failure, became the first French driver to win the championship title.[28] He was invited to a Formula Renault 3.5 Series test at Motorland Aragón in October 2010, as a result of becoming champion in German Formula Three. Dillmann set the third-quickest time during the test, and best of all newcomers, while driving for the ISR Racing team.[29]

Dillmann also contested three events in the Italian Formula Three Championship; at the opening meeting at Misano, Dillmann took a fourth place and a second place for Scuderia Victoria.[30] He returned for the final two meetings with EuroInternational,[31] failing to score a point. He finished the championship thirteenth overall. Dillmann contested two meetings of the Formula 3 Euro Series in 2011; he competed for Carlin at Hockenheim,[32] and Motopark at the Red Bull Ring,[33] achieving a best result of third place in the third race at the Red Bull Ring,[34] taking his first Euro Series podium since 2008. Dillmann also contested the Zolder round of the German Formula Three Championship, competing in the Trophy class for older-specification machinery.[35] Dillmann won one race, and finished third in the other.
GP3 Series
[edit]In March 2011, Dillmann joined the Carlin team for the 2011 season,[36] partnering Conor Daly and Leonardo Cordeiro in the team. At the opening round of the season in Istanbul, Dillmann qualified on pole position for the first race, recording two laps good enough for the top spot.[37] Dillmann made a poor start to the race, but eventually finished the race in third position.[38] Following the event however, Dillmann was dropped by the team; at the mid-season test at the Hungaroring, Dillmann joined the Addax Team,[39] and remained with the team into the third round of the season, in Valencia. Dillmann finished in the points at three successive meetings – at the Nürburgring, the Hungaroring and Spa-Francorchamps – and finished the season in fourteenth place in the drivers' championship.
GP2 Series
[edit]

Following the end of the 2011 GP3 season, Dillmann tested a GP2 car for the iSport International team, during the post-season tests at Jerez and Barcelona.[40][41] His testing performances enabled him to join the team for the non-championship GP2 Final event held at the Yas Marina Circuit, in support of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.[42] He finished both races in the points, as he finished in sixth place in the first race before a third place in the second race. His results were the second-best by a GP3 graduate, after James Calado, and earned Dillmann €10,000 from series tyre manufacturer Pirelli.[43] After testing for Ocean Racing Technology and the Rapax Team during the preseason tests, Dillmann joined Rapax ahead of the 2012 season-opening event at Sepang.[44] He took his first GP2 win in the sprint race of the third round of the championship, held in Bahrain. After failing to score in the following six races, he lost his seat for the round at Silverstone to Daniël de Jong, who had previously taken the seat of his teammate, Ricardo Teixeira.[45] He returned to racing action for the next round at Hockenheim, however, as De Jong was competing in a clashing Auto GP World Series event in Brazil,[46] but then lost it again for the following round in Hungary due to budgetary problems.[47] He ended the season 15th in the standings; the highest-placed driver not to complete the full season.
For 2013, it was announced that Dillmann would join the new Motopark-run Russian Time team alongside GP2 returnee Sam Bird. He scored two pole positions and fastest laps apiece and finished tenth overall, eight places behind Bird.
In 2014, although confirmed at Russian Time, the death of the team principal in January had the consequence that he lost his seat; Dillmann contested eight rounds of the championship with Arden International and Caterham, finishing on the podium in the sprint race at Catalunya and achieving the fastest lap in the feature race at the Hungaroring.
Formula 3.5
[edit]In 2015, Dillmann joined the series with Jagonya Ayam with Carlin.[48] He achieved a pole position in the final round at Jerez and finished seventh overall, despite scoring no victories.

The following season, Dillmann switched to AVF.[49] Taking two race wins, five pole positions and two fastest laps, Dillmann secured the championship at the final round, seven points ahead of nearest challenger Louis Delétraz.
Formula E
[edit]In August 2015, Dillmann partook in pre-season testing with Team Aguri along with fellow former GP2 racer Stefano Coletti.[50]
In April 2017, Dillmann partook in the free practice session with Venturi at the Mexico City ePrix in place of Stéphane Sarrazin.[51] Later that month, Venturi announced Dillmann would make his racing debut at the Paris ePrix in place of Maro Engel.[52]
For the 2018–19 FE season, the Frenchman joined Nio on a full-time basis.[53] Dillmann failed to score points throughout the season, finishing 23rd in the standings.
In May 2021, Dillmann was announced as the simulator and reserve driver for the Jaguar Racing Formula E team.[54]
World Endurance Championship
[edit]
Dillman began his career in the World Endurance Championship in 2015, joining Signatech Alpine for two races starting from the 2015 6 Hours of Shanghai;[55] he won his first ever race in the series.[56] After a single race campaign with Extreme Speed Motorsports in 2016, Dillmann joined ByKolles Racing in 2018 for their LMP1 efforts in the World Endurance Championship.[57]
On 11 January 2023, it was revealed that Dillmann would contest the full 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship for Vanwall Racing Team in the Le Mans Hypercar class, driving alongside Esteban Guerrieri and 1997 Formula One World Champion Jacques Villeneuve.[58] Dillman departed the team on 16 June 2023; he cited a desire to find a seat elsewhere and "to try something else" and that his departure was on "good terms", along with paying tribute to team principal Colin Kolles in a statement. He was replaced by two-time Super GT champion João Paulo de Oliveira.[59]

Tom Dillmann
View on GrokipediaCareer
Karting and Formula Renault
Tom Dillmann began his motorsport career in karting in 2000 at the age of 11. He competed in the junior categories, racing with the MG team in 2001. In 2002, at age 13, he achieved a strong result by finishing fourth in the Championnat de France Minime category for the Tom Team.[1] Dillmann transitioned to single-seater racing in 2004, entering the Formula Renault 1600 Belgium series with the Tom Team. He competed in 14 races, securing one victory and two podium finishes en route to fifth place in the overall standings.[1] In 2005, Dillmann stepped up to the competitive Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series, driving for Prema Powerteam and Cram Competition across multiple rounds. He recorded one podium finish during the season, gaining valuable experience in international junior formula racing.[1] Dillmann continued in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 the following year with SG Formula, participating in all 14 rounds. He earned three podiums, demonstrating improved consistency and pace, which propelled him to eighth in the final drivers' standings.[7] These performances in Formula Renault established a solid foundation, leading to his progression into the Formula 3 Euro Series in 2007.[1]Formula 3 Euro Series
Tom Dillmann entered the Formula 3 Euro Series in 2007 as part of the Red Bull Junior Team, racing for ASM Formule 3 after a promising karting career. Despite missing the opening round due to a sternum and vertebrae injury sustained in testing, he achieved three podium finishes and ended the season ninth overall with 23 points, demonstrating consistency in a highly competitive field dominated by future Formula 1 drivers like Romain Grosjean.[8][9] In 2008, Dillmann switched to SG Formula but faced significant challenges, including unreliable equipment and limited budget support after losing Red Bull backing early in the season due to a poor start. His results suffered, with only sporadic top-10 finishes and no podiums, highlighting the financial hurdles that forced him to seek opportunities with under-resourced teams. By 2009, he moved to HBR Motorsport and later Jo Zeller Racing for select rounds, securing a few podiums across six races but struggling overall amid ongoing team instability and funding constraints.[8][10] Dillmann's persistence paid off in 2010 when he focused on the German Formula 3 Championship with HS Technik Motorsport, clinching the title as the first French champion with 120 points and six victories. Key successes included a win at Hockenheim in the season opener and a double podium-capped victory at the Nürburgring, where he outpaced rival Daniel Abt in a tight battle. He also made a partial appearance in the Italian Formula Three Championship, finishing 13th overall with 22 points from four races. In 2011, Dillmann contested two meetings in the Euro Series with Motopark Academy and Carlin, achieving a third-place finish at the Red Bull Ring but limited by financial limitations.[11][12][13][14] These years in Formula 3 marked a period of adaptation for Dillmann, as frequent team changes and budgetary pressures tested his resolve, yet his adaptability and strong performances in the German series provided the breakthrough needed to progress to the GP3 Series.[8]GP3 Series
Following his success in the Formula 3 Euro Series, where he claimed the 2010 title, Dillmann transitioned to the more demanding GP3 Series in 2011, joining the Carlin team for the opening rounds.[1] The series' heightened competition and technical requirements tested his adaptation, as GP3 featured closer racing and higher speeds compared to Formula 3, with Dallara GP3/10 chassis powered by Renault engines.[15] Dillmann started strongly by securing pole position for the season-opening feature race at Istanbul Park, demonstrating his qualifying pace, but converted it to third place in the race before finishing eighth in the sprint event.[16] Mid-season, after underwhelming results with Carlin—including a ninth-place finish in the drivers' standings up to that point—he switched to the Addax Team ahead of the third round at Valencia, seeking improved performance and setup support.[17] The move highlighted his resilience amid the series' intense pressure, where consistent points were crucial against top talents. With Addax, Dillmann achieved his sole podium of the season, finishing third in the rain-affected sprint race at Spa-Francorchamps, capitalizing on a reverse grid start from seventh in the feature race.[18] Key challenges included qualifying difficulties at circuits like Silverstone, where he spun off early in the feature race, and a sprint race retirement at Hungaroring due to mechanical issues after starting from pole in that event.[19] Despite these setbacks, he scored 15 points across 14 races, ending 14th in the championship—a mid-pack result compared to peer Valtteri Bottas, who dominated with four wins and 76 points to secure the title.[1] Dillmann's season underscored his ability to secure standout moments, like the Spa podium, in a field marked by frequent driver and team changes.GP2 Series
Tom Dillmann entered the GP2 Series in 2012 with the Rapax team, marking his debut in the category as a step up from the GP3 Series. He showed promise early on, securing pole position and victory in the sprint race at the Bahrain round, holding off a late challenge from Luiz Razia by just 0.198 seconds to claim his maiden GP2 win. Despite this highlight, his season was inconsistent, with additional points from a podium in the Abu Dhabi feature race, ultimately finishing 15th in the drivers' standings with 29 points.[20][21][22] Returning to GP2 in 2013 with Russian Time, Dillmann demonstrated marked improvement, establishing himself as a consistent midfield performer. He achieved two podium finishes: third place in the Silverstone feature race behind teammate Sam Bird and Stéphane Richelmi, and third in the Monza feature race, contributing to his season total of 92 points, including one pole position and two fastest laps. These results helped him climb to 10th in the championship standings, showcasing better racecraft and reliability compared to his rookie year.[23][24][25] Dillmann's third and final GP2 season in 2014 was hampered by budget constraints and team switches, starting with Arden International before moving to EQ8 Caterham Racing midway through the year. Inconsistencies, including missed rounds due to funding issues, limited his participation and results, with only sporadic strong showings like a pole in Barcelona qualifying. He ended the year 19th overall with 18 points, underscoring the financial challenges that curtailed his potential as a midfield contender in the series.[23][26][27]Formula V8 3.5 Series
Dillmann entered the Formula Renault 3.5 Series in 2015 with the Jagonya Ayam with Carlin team, finishing seventh in the drivers' standings with 122 points from two podiums, one pole position, and one fastest lap. His standout performance came in the season finale at Jerez, where he secured his maiden pole in the category with a lap time of 1:28.621, edging out champion Oliver Rowland by just 0.017 seconds, though he ultimately finished fifth in the opening race after a competitive battle. This debut year demonstrated his adaptability to the high-powered Dallara chassis and Renault V6 engines, setting the stage for a stronger campaign the following season.[28][29] In 2016, the series rebranded as the Formula V8 3.5 and switched to Zytek V8 engines, requiring drivers to adjust to the new power delivery and technical demands that emphasized endurance-like reliability in a single-seater format, often serving as a stepping stone to prototype racing categories. Dillmann joined AVF by Adrian Valles and dominated the championship, clinching the title with 237 points after securing two victories—at the Hungaroring, where he converted pole into his maiden win amid changing weather conditions, and in the decisive Barcelona finale, charging from seventh on the grid to victory and overtaking rival Louis Delétraz by a single point. He also claimed five pole positions across the season, including a dominant run of three consecutive poles leading into the Hungaroring weekend. Key highlights included intense on-track duels with Matthieu Vaxiviere, such as at Hungaroring where Vaxiviere's faster lap was deleted for track limits, allowing Dillmann to start ahead, and in Barcelona's qualifying under mixed conditions, where Dillmann outpaced Vaxiviere for pole.[30][31][32][33] This championship success, achieved in a series known for its technical evolution toward endurance racing preparation, overlapped briefly with Dillmann's early testing in the World Endurance Championship, enhancing his transition to prototype machinery.[34]Super Formula
In 2018, Tom Dillmann made a one-off appearance in the Super Formula championship, competing for the UOMO SUNOCO Team LeMans in the Toyota-powered SF14 chassis across five rounds as a replacement for Pietro Fittipaldi, who was committed to the IndyCar Series.[35] This opportunity provided Dillmann with a return to high-downforce open-wheel racing following his time in GP2 and Formula V8 3.5, allowing him to tackle one of the fastest single-seater series globally.[1] Dillmann's campaign began at the Autopolis round, where he qualified 19th, but the race was ultimately cancelled due to heavy rain and fog, marking an early disruption in his schedule.[36] He adapted to the demanding SF14 chassis—his first experience with Super Formula's potent machinery—securing points on debut with a strong fourth-place finish at Sportsland Sugo after starting from 18th.[37] Subsequent outings included a 12th-place result at Twin Ring Motegi and challenges in qualifying, such as 15th at Suzuka, where he finished 15th in the feature race amid tight competition from established Japanese and international drivers.[38][39] Overall, Dillmann concluded the season 14th in the drivers' standings with 5 points, demonstrating solid pace in race trim despite limited preparation time and the series' steep learning curve on tracks like Fuji and Suzuka.[40] His stint coincided with early involvement in Formula E, where he had substituted in the Berlin ePrix earlier that year for Venturi Grand Prix.[41]Formula E
Tom Dillmann made his Formula E debut with the Venturi Formula E Team at the 2017 Paris ePrix, substituting for Maro Engel, and finished eighth to score points on his first outing in the all-electric series.[42] He continued with Venturi for the remainder of the 2016–17 season (Season 3), participating in seven races and achieving a best finish of fourth in the second Montreal ePrix, which contributed to his 18th place in the drivers' championship with 12 points.[43] In the following 2017–18 season (Season 4), Dillmann raced full-time for Venturi, completing 12 events with consistent point-scoring performances, including another fourth place in the first New York ePrix, ending the year 19th overall with eight points.[44] His time with Venturi highlighted his adaptation to the series' Gen2 car regulations introduced that season, focusing on energy management and qualifying prowess in a competitive midfield.[45] For the 2018–19 season (Season 5), Dillmann switched to the NIO Formula E Team on a full-time basis, contesting all 13 races but struggling with the team's development challenges, resulting in no points and a 23rd-place championship finish. Over his 23 race starts from 2017 to 2019, Dillmann never achieved a podium but earned points in multiple events, underscoring his role as a steady performer in the evolving electric single-seater championship, with a career-best fourth-place finish achieved in prior seasons.[46][47] In 2021, Dillmann transitioned to a reserve and simulator driver role with Jaguar TCS Racing, beginning during Season 7 and contributing to car development through extensive simulation work and testing sessions.[47] He remained in this capacity through subsequent seasons, including occasional on-track testing, as the team adapted to the Gen3 powertrain introduced in Season 9 (2022–23), where his expertise aided in optimizing battery efficiency and regenerative braking systems.[48] By October 2025, Dillmann entered his sixth year with Jaguar, confirmed alongside Stoffel Vandoorne as reserves, focusing on simulator duties while balancing limited endurance racing commitments.[49]World Endurance Championship
Dillmann made his debut in the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2015 with the Signatech Alpine team in the LMP2 class, partnering Nelson Panciatici and Paul-Loup Chatin for the final two rounds at Shanghai and Bahrain. In his first race, the 6 Hours of Shanghai, the trio claimed a class victory in the Alpine A450b-Nissan, finishing ninth overall and marking the model's maiden WEC win. At the season finale in Bahrain, they secured pole position in LMP2 with an average qualifying time of 1:49.993 but finished sixth in class after a strong but ultimately challenged run. He added one more LMP2 start in 2016 with Extreme Speed Motorsports at the 6 Hours of Bahrain. Returning to the series in 2018, Dillmann joined ByKolles Racing for a full-time effort in the LMP1 class, driving the Enso CLM P1/01-Gibson across the 2018–19 superseason (eight races) and the shortened 2020 season (five races). As a privateer non-hybrid entrant, the team frequently battled reliability issues, including mechanical failures and accidents that limited finishes, though Dillmann contributed to competitive qualifying efforts, such as eighth on the grid at the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans. Key highlights included a strong showing at the 2020 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, where the car qualified fourth in LMP1 and finished fifth overall—the team's best result of the LMP1 era—thanks to strategic decisions and Dillmann's stints in mixed conditions. At Le Mans, the team retired in 2018 due to an accident at Porsche Curves, in 2019 from mechanical problems by the fifth hour, and in 2020 from power loss, underscoring the challenges of competing against factory hybrid prototypes. In 2023, Dillmann shifted to the inaugural Le Mans Hypercar class with Floyd Vanwall Racing Team, piloting the new Vanwall Vandervell 680 alongside Esteban Guerrieri and Jacques Villeneuve for the opening four rounds, including a DNF at the 24 Hours of Le Mans due to technical woes. Persistent reliability problems plagued the program, leading to Dillmann's mutual departure from the team after Le Mans amid ongoing development issues. Across his WEC appearances from 2015 to 2023, Dillmann accumulated 20 starts, with his standout achievements being the 2015 LMP2 win at Shanghai and the fifth-place overall at Spa in 2020. He subsequently focused on LMP2 racing in the European Le Mans Series and IMSA SportsCar Championship.European Le Mans Series and IMSA SportsCar Championship
In 2024, Tom Dillmann joined Inter Europol Competition for his debut full season in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) LMP2 class, partnering with Sebastian Álvarez and Vlad Lomko in the No. 43 Oreca 07-Gibson. The trio secured a maiden victory for the team at the 4 Hours of Le Castellet, where Dillmann started from second on the grid and contributed to a 14-second margin over the runner-up Cool Racing entry. This win propelled Inter Europol to consistent contention, culminating in a runners-up finish in the LMP2 drivers' and teams' championships with seven podiums across 12 races, including additional seconds at Spa-Francorchamps, Monza, and the season finale at Portimão.[50][51] Dillmann's prior experience in the FIA World Endurance Championship, including stints in LMP1 and Hypercar prototypes, provided a strong foundation for his ELMS transition, enabling quick adaptation to endurance racing demands and team synergy. For 2025, Inter Europol retained Dillmann alongside new teammate Jakub Śmiechowski and Nick Yelloly, forming a Gold-rated lineup focused on title contention. The season began strongly with podiums at Le Castellet (second), Barcelona (third), and Imola (second), establishing the No. 43 as a frontrunner before Dillmann's injury sidelined him temporarily. Despite the setback, the team achieved vice-championship status with five podiums, including a class victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans—Dillmann's first overall Le Mans win—where he shared driving duties with Śmiechowski and Yelloly in a dramatic finish marred by a late penalty for rivals. Dillmann returned at Spa-Francorchamps following clearance after surgery, contributing to further podiums at Silverstone and Portimão to close the season on a high note.[52][53][54] Parallel to his ELMS commitments, Dillmann expanded into the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in 2024, racing the No. 43 Oreca 07-Gibson for Inter Europol by PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports in LMP2. Teamed primarily with Nick Boulle, he clinched the LMP2 drivers' and teams' titles through consistent performances, highlighted by two victories: the season opener at Daytona (shared with Boulle, Bijoy Garg, and Clément Novalak) and a dominant defense of the lead at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (CTMP), where Dillmann fended off late pressure to win by 4.6 seconds. These results, bolstered by additional podiums at Sebring, Long Beach, and Watkins Glen, marked Inter Europol's first IMSA class championship and underscored Dillmann's versatility across North American endurance formats.[55][56] The 2025 IMSA season saw Dillmann continue with Inter Europol, starting with a class win at the 12 Hours of Sebring alongside Boulle, Garg, and Jeremy Clarke, navigating challenging conditions to finish six laps ahead of the next LMP2 contender. Tragedy struck at CTMP in July, when Dillmann crashed from the lead late in the Chevrolet Grand Prix, sustaining a fractured vertebra that required surgery and caused him to miss the subsequent Road America round. Cleared to return by August, he resumed at Road Atlanta's Petit Le Mans, aiding the team's podium efforts despite the earlier disruption.
