John Filippi (born 27 February 1995) is a professional French racing driver currently competing in the TCR Europe Touring Car Series representing Sébastien Loeb Racing.

Karting

Filippi commenced his karting journey in 2007 and stepped into international contests by 2009. During that year, he participated in the European KF3 championship, finishing 40th while driving a Tony Kart powered by Vortex, and also took part in the French Grand Prix Open Karting. Advancing to the KF2 category in 2010 and 2011, he wrapped up 2011 with two top-ten placements in both the French and Grand Prix Open championships.

Single-seaters

Following six years of karting experience, Filippi transitioned to car racing in 2012, making his debut at Circuit Paul Armagnac. He competed in the amateur Single-seater V de V Challenge behind the wheel of a Tatuus FR2000 for Equipe Palmyr. Racing against older vehicles such as those from Formula Renault and Formula Master, he secured twelfth place in his inaugural race and concluded the season 25th overall after six events.

In 2013, Filippi signed with Bossy Racing, piloting a Tatuus N.T07 Formula Master chassis. He achieved remarkable success by winning eleven out of eighteen races. His triumphs included three victories at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, two at Motorland Aragón, three at Lédenon, and three more at Magny-Cours. Towards the end of the year, he made his debut in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series with RC Formula, finishing 22nd and 27th in two outings at Barcelona.

2014

On March 19, 2014, Filippi joined Campos Racing to compete in the World Touring Car Championship, driving a TC2-specification SEAT León. He became the youngest driver to score points in WTCC during the 2014 FIA WTCC Race of Morocco and also claimed a class victory at the 2014 FIA WTCC Race of Japan.

2015

Following Dušan Borković's exit, Filippi was elevated to drive a TC1-class Chevrolet Cruze for the 2015 season. He earned points finishes in Marrakech and at the Nordschleife, recorded his best qualifying result of seventh place in China but retired due to an accident. Similar setbacks occurred during the Thailand round. At the 2015 FIA WTCC Race of Qatar, qualifying tenth secured him pole position for Race 2, making him the youngest pole sitter in WTCC history at 20 years and 331 days old.

2016

On February 9, 2016, sponsor Oscaro confirmed that Filippi would continue with Campos Racing behind the wheel of a TC1 Chevrolet for that season. Four-time world champion Yvan Muller joined the team as his driver coach.
