Delahaye Racing is a professional auto racing outfit headquartered in Wavre, Belgium. Since 2017, the team has actively competed in the TCR International Series and also takes part in various other competitions including the TCR Benelux Touring Car Championship, the Michelin Le Mans Cup, and the Volkswagen Fun Cup. Their past engagements include participation in the Blancpain Endurance Series among several other racing events.

Blancpain Endurance Series

The Blancpain Endurance Series saw Delahaye Racing make its initial appearance in 2011, entering the Spa 24 Hours with a Corvette Z06 GT3; however, the team retired after completing 215 laps. They returned for a full campaign in 2013, running a Porsche 997 GT3-R, and finished twenty-sixth at Spa. The following year, they secured thirty-third place in the Spa 24 Hours. In 2015, competing throughout the season, Delahaye Racing achieved ninth position in the Am Cup teams standings.

TCR Benelux Touring Car Championship

In 2016, Delahaye Racing joined the TCR Benelux Touring Car Championship with a lineup comprising one SEAT León Cup Racer and two Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR vehicles. The team concluded the season fourth in the teams championship, while their drivers achieved fourth, eighth, and ninth places individually. Edouard and Guillaume Mondron contributed significantly with race wins and a total of fifteen podium appearances. For the 2017 season, Delahaye operated a SEAT León TCR for Edouard and Guillaume Mondron alongside a Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR driven by Romain de Leval and Giacomo Altoè. By round two, only a single car remained in competition as Guillaume Mondron teamed up with Giacomo Altoè in the Golf.

SEAT León TCR & Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR (2017–)

After competing in the TCR Benelux series, Delahaye Racing stepped into the 2017 TCR International Series featuring drivers Edouard and Guillaume Mondron. Edouard piloted a Volkswagen Golf GTI TCR, earning points through seventh and fourth-place finishes at Spa-Francorchamps. Meanwhile, Guillaume drove a SEAT León TCR but was unable to score points due to a qualifying crash that relegated him to start twenty-second; he ultimately finished nineteenth and twelfth in his races.
