Macéo Capietto (born 12 January 2006) is a French motorsport competitor currently participating in the European Le Mans Series with Iron Lynx-Proton in the LMP2 category. He is also slated to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans event with the same squad. Alongside his racing commitments, Capietto is pursuing a degree in automotive engineering at ESTACA.

Early and personal life

Capietto was born in Montereau and resides in Veneux-les-Sablons, both locations within the Île-de-France region where he has spent his entire life. He is the son of Guillaume Capietto, former kart driver and current team manager at Prema Racing, and Wanessa Capietto, founder of To-Play. Presently, he lives near Paris while balancing his academic studies with his motorsport career.

Karting

Following in his father’s footsteps, Capietto started karting at a young age. After two seasons competing in Minikart, where he finished third in the French Cup, he secured the regional Île-de-France championship title in the Minimes category. In 2018, under the guidance of coach Anthoine Hubert, he began to compete internationally. In 2019, he was runner-up to Esteban Masson in the French Junior Karting Championship and achieved sixth place in the World Junior Championship driving for Kosmic Racing, despite an off-track incident mid-race. Additionally, that year he finished second behind Connor Zilisch in the Karting Academy Trophy.

Formula 4

Capietto stepped into single-seater racing in 2021 by entering the French F4 Championship. Despite limited prior experience, he claimed his first victory in Formula 4 during his fourth race at Magny-Cours. Over the season, he won four races and led the championship standings heading into the final round, ahead of competitor Esteban Masson. Having secured the FIA Championship title just a day earlier, Capietto needed to finish ahead of Masson to win the French F4 crown. On the last lap, a collision occurred between Capietto and Masson—who was leading—resulting in Masson's retirement and initially awarding Capietto the championship. However, following a stewards' review, Capietto was disqualified from all results from that weekend, losing both the title and a €100k prize. He ultimately finished third overall behind Masson and Hugh Barter and missed out on earning super licence points.

Later that year, Capietto participated twice in the Italian F4 Championship with Prema Powerteam. At the final round held at Monza, he achieved two rookie podium finishes and impressively gained over 50 positions across three races.

2022

After conducting tests with multiple teams during winter, Capietto signed with Monolite Racing for the 2022 Formula Regional European Championship. His teammates were Pietro Armanni and Cenyu Han. He was Monolite’s only driver to score points throughout the season, recording a best race result of seventh place at Mugello and qualifying as high as sixth at Spielberg.

2023

For the 2023 Formula Regional European Championship, Capietto transferred to Race Performance Motorsport. During this campaign, he earned his first podium finish in FRECA and concluded the season eighth overall in the championship standings.

2025

Capietto is scheduled to rejoin the 2025 Formula Regional European Championship with CL Motorsport for the concluding two rounds of the campaign.

2024: ELMS and Le Mans introduction

During 2024, Capietto participated in the 2024 European Le Mans Series representing Iron Lynx-Proton in the LMP2 category, teaming up with Matteo Cairoli and Jonas Ried. He secured his inaugural ELMS win at the 2024 4 Hours of Mugello, moving from sixth place to the lead throughout his driving stint.

That same year marked his first appearance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he briefly held the lead in the opening hour before an electrical issue forced an early retirement.
