Julien Andlauer (born 5 July 1999 in Lyon) is a professional French racing driver affiliated with Porsche as a factory driver. He has claimed championship titles in both the French Carrera Cup and German Carrera Cup. Currently, Andlauer races for Porsche Penske Motorsport in the Hypercar category of the 2024 WEC, piloting car number 5.

Early career

Following his karting beginnings, Andlauer entered the French F4 Championship in 2015, where he earned two podium finishes and ended the season eighth overall. He then transitioned to the Porsche Carrera Cup France, competing with Saintéloc Racing and finishing fifth in the standings. In 2017, representing Martinet by Alméras, he secured seven victories en route to winning the French championship. This success led to his selection as a Porsche junior driver after excelling in a two-day talent evaluation held at the Lausitzring.

Porsche junior

After being chosen through the shootout, Andlauer advanced to the 2018 Porsche Supercup season, continuing with Martinet by Alméras. He claimed both wins during the season finale at Mexico City and concluded the year fourth in the championship.

In 2018, Andlauer made his debut in the LMGTE Am division of the FIA World Endurance Championship, driving for Dempsey-Proton Racing alongside teammates Matt Campbell and Christian Ried. Starting fourth at the Spa race, the team achieved a class victory at the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans, making Andlauer, at 18 years old, the youngest winner in the event's history. They also triumphed at Silverstone, but a disqualification at Fuji due to data manipulation stripped them of points from their first four races. The team rebounded with wins at Shanghai and Sebring. After missing the Spa round, Andlauer returned to finish fourth at the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans. These achievements contributed to Proton securing four victories and second place in the team championship, resulting in Andlauer’s promotion to FIA gold status starting in 2019.

In addition, Andlauer competed in both the Porsche Supercup and Porsche Carrera Cup Germany with BWT Lechner Racing. He captured five wins en route to claiming the German title and finished third overall in the Supercup with two victories.

By year-end, Porsche elevated Andlauer from junior driver to young professional status.

Porsche young professional

During 2020, Andlauer participated in the Michelin Le Mans Cup, driving a Porsche 911 GT3 R for Pzoberer Zürichsee by TFT, partnered with gentleman driver Nicolas Leutwiler. The pair secured third place overall, including wins at both Le Castellet and Monza.

Following a runner-up finish in the 2021 Asian Le Mans Series, Andlauer continued competing in the 2021 Michelin Le Mans Cup alongside Leutwiler for Pzoberer Zürichsee. Concurrently, he raced in four rounds of the GTE Am class within the WEC for Dempsey-Proton Racing, achieving pole position at the prestigious Le Mans. He contributed to two victories in the Le Mans Cup with Leutwiler, notably winning the esteemed Road to Le Mans event.

In 2022, Andlauer’s schedule featured major endurance races such as the 2022 24 Hours of Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring, 24 Hours of Spa, and 24 Hours of Nürburgring, alongside numerous appearances in the NLS Series. He also competed at that year’s 2022 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he set the fastest lap and finished second overall with WeatherTech Racing.

For his final season under LMGTE regulations in 2023, Andlauer joined Proton Competition’s full-time lineup for the WEC, teaming up with Christian Ried and Mikkel O. Pedersen. Additionally, he raced in the ELMS alongside Ried and Giammarco Levorato. The WEC campaign began positively with a second-place finish at the 2023 1000 Miles of Sebring, but subsequent difficulties included retirement from the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans following an accident. The team rebounded by winning at the 2023 6 Hours of Monza, ultimately securing fourth place in the championship standings for car #77. In ELMS competition, despite achieving three podiums including wins at both Le Castellet and Algarve circuits, a first-lap collision at Barcelona resulted in narrowly missing out on the title by just 20 points to their sister entry.

During off-season winter events, Andlauer made his prototype racing debut competing in LMP2 within the AsLMS, sharing a Proton entry with René Binder and Giorgio Roda. He helped secure a podium finish at Sepang and narrowly missed victory at Dubai. At Abu Dhabi’s finale, Andlauer set fastest lap times and finished second overall, clinching runner-up position in the championship.

Following this transition into prototype racing, Porsche promoted Andlauer into their premier Hypercar program for the upcoming 2024 WEC season with Proton Competition alongside teammates Harry Tincknell and Neel Jani. Simultaneously, he participates in the LMGT3 category of the 2024 European Le Mans Series with Matteo Cressoni and gentleman driver Claudio Schiavoni. Notably, during the 6 Hours of Spa, Andlauer executed four overtakes through Eau Rouge/Raidillon while setting fastest race lap times to guide Proton to a fifth-place finish.

Personal life

By 2024, Andlauer has established his residence in Dubai.
