Stéphane Jean-Marc Sarrazin (born 2 November 1975) is a French motorsport competitor with achievements spanning single-seater racing, sports cars, and rallying. He secured the French Formula Renault title in 1994 and claimed the Le Mans Series championship twice, in 2007 and 2010. Despite never winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Sarrazin has stood on the podium six times, including four runner-up finishes.
Sarrazin took part in a single Formula One Grand Prix—the 1999 Brazilian Grand Prix—driving for Minardi as a substitute for the injured Luca Badoer. During the race, he suffered a notable spin and did not earn any championship points. Moreover, he was a test driver for Prost Grand Prix from 1999 until 2001 and later for Toyota Racing during their debut F1 season in 2002.
Career
In the 1999 International Formula 3000 championship, Sarrazin secured one victory at the Hungaroring. He later competed in the Superfund World Series in 2003.
Sarrazin shifted focus to rallying in 2004, taking part in two events of the World Rally Championship, with his best finish being fourth place. Subaru signed him to drive their second vehicle alongside Australian Chris Atkinson, supporting reigning world champion Petter Solberg. That same year, he also participated in the 2004 Race of Champions.
In the GT1 category of the 2006 American Le Mans Series, Sarrazin drove an Aston Martin DBR9. On January 10, 2007, he was appointed as an official factory driver for Peugeot Sport in the Le Mans Series, piloting the newly introduced diesel-powered Peugeot 908 HDi FAP. Together with teammate Pedro Lamy, he won the 2007 Le Mans Series, achieving three victories during the season. At the 2007 24 Hours of Le Mans, Sarrazin earned pole position and finished second alongside Lamy and Sébastien Bourdais. He triumphed at the 2008 24 Hours of Spa driving Vitaphone Racing Team's Maserati MC12, finished third at the 2009 Monte Carlo rally, and secured another second place at the 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2010, he took fourth overall at Monte Carlo in the 2010 Intercontinental Rally Challenge.
Following Peugeot’s exit from endurance racing, Sarrazin joined Starworks Motorsport for the 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship. He also stepped in to drive Toyota’s TS030 Hybrid at Le Mans when Hiroaki Ishiura withdrew due to medical reasons.
Sarrazin became a full-time driver for Toyota Racing in 2013, piloting the TS030. That year, he contributed to a second-place finish at the 2013 24 Hours of Le Mans and achieved his first victory with Toyota at the Bahrain event.
Continuing with Toyota Racing in 2014, Sarrazin simultaneously signed with Venturi Grand Prix to compete in Formula E, where he placed ninth in the series’ inaugural race, the 2014 Beijing ePrix. In November of that year, he claimed his first international rally win at the final round of the 2014 European Rally Championship, held at the Tour de Corse.
In 2021, Sarrazin took part in the debut season of the all-electric off-road racing championship, Extreme E, driving for Veloce Racing. During the 2021 Island X-Prix, he was involved in a major rollover but emerged unharmed following precautionary medical evaluations.
