Valentin Hasse-Clot
Valentin Hasse-Clot (born 27 February 1996) is a French racing driver who competes in the European Le Mans Series.
Hasse-Clot's motorsport career began at the age of six, where he competed on his family's karting track in Vaudoy-en-Brie. He graduated to local karting competitions in 2009, receiving mentorship from Henri Pescarolo, and continued into national karting competitions through 2013.
In 2014, Hasse-Clot graduated to single-seaters, taking part in the 2014 French F4 Championship. In his opening season of formula racing, he claimed two podium finishes – at Magny-Cours and Nogaro – en route to a tenth-place finish in the championship. At the end of the season, Hasse-Clot was quoted as saying that he aimed to step up to Formula Renault 2.0 competition for 2015.
Hasse-Clot graduated to Formula Renault competition in 2015, beginning the season with Strakka Racing in both the Eurocup and Northern European Cup competitions. After claiming a podium in the opening NEC round at Monza, Hasse-Clot was left without a ride following Strakka placing their Formula Renault 2.0 program on hold for the year. He continued in Eurocup with Manor MP Motorsport at Spa and the Hungaroring, before switching again to Fortec Motorsport to complete the season. Hasse-Clot had tested with Fortec prior to the 2015 season, but joined Strakka due to a lack of available seats at Fortec. Through the 17-race season, Hasse-Clot earned a best finish of ninth, scoring just two championship points.
In 2016, Hasse-Clot returned to Formula 4 competition, taking part in the Italian F4 Championship with Kiteviola Motorsport. However, he would only take part in the first two rounds at Misano and Adria, finishing as high as fifth. Following his campaign, Hasse-Clot stated that he realized he wouldn't have the budget to continue to progress through the single-seater ladder, leading him to pursue a career in sports car racing.
During 2016, Hasse-Clot made his endurance racing debut, competing in the Spa 24 Hours for Saintéloc Racing. He drove in the Am class alongside Michael Blanchemain, Jean-Paul Buffin, and Gilles Lallemant, finishing 51st overall. At the end of the year, he took part in a shootout-style competition at Circuit Paul Ricard, looking to earn a €30,000 scholarship and support for the 2017 Porsche Carrera Cup France season. At the end of the weekend, Hasse-Clot was named Espoir Porsche Carrera Cup France, earning support from a local Porsche dealership alongside tires and a cash bonus for the coming season.
For 2017, Hasse-Clot joined Sébastien Loeb Racing, taking part in a full-season campaign with the team. His immediate goal was to graduate through the Porsche pyramid, and he aimed to work towards a ride in the Porsche Supercup in 2018. In his opening season of Porsche Cup competition, Hasse-Clot claimed a sole race victory at Barcelona, finishing fifth in the championship and claiming Rookie of the Year honors. Hasse-Clot returned to the team in 2018, joined by teammate Jérémy Sarhy. The season proved a pivotal one for Hasse-Clot, as he stated that his budget would likely prevent him from funding a 2019 campaign if he didn't receive financial support. Despite a difficult start to the season, Hasse-Clot rebounded to finish fifth in the drivers championship. Later in the season, he took part in a one-off weekend in the Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain, driving for Motorbase Performance.
In 2019, Hasse-Clot began competing in Aston Martin machinery, beginning with a part-time program in the ADAC GT Masters, driving for PROpeak Performance. After only competing in the first two race weekends of the season, Hasse-Clot made his British GT Championship debut later in the year, driving for the Beechdean AMR team.
