Tom Aston Dillmann (born 6 April 1989 in Mulhouse) is a French professional racing driver currently representing Inter Europol Competition in the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans, 2025 European Le Mans Series, and 2025 IMSA SportsCar Championship. He claimed victory in the LMP2 category at the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans with Inter Europol. Dillmann is recognized for his championship titles in the German Formula Three Championship in 2010 and the Formula V8 3.5 Championship in 2016.

Karting and Formula Renault

Son of former racer and team manager Gerard Dillmann, Tom began his motorsport journey by winning the regional Alsace soapbox championship in 1999. Between 2000 and 2002, he competed in karting, capturing a regional championship and finishing fourth nationally in France. In 2003, he tested a prototype vehicle developed by his father.

Dillmann stepped into the Formula Renault 1600 Belgium series in 2004 with his family’s Tom Team, securing fifth place overall with three podium finishes, including a victory at Spa-Francorchamps. That year, he also participated selectively in Formula Renault Monza and Formula Junior 1600 Spain, earning a podium in the latter. In 2005, he progressed to the Formula Renault Eurocup with Prema Powerteam, racing alongside Kamui Kobayashi and Patrick Rocha. After competing in three events without scoring points, he transferred to Cram Competition but withdrew due to limited experience. Additionally, he took part in the French Formula Renault series but did not score points.

Returning to the Eurocup in 2006 with SG Formula alongside teammates Sten Pentus and Carlo van Dam, Dillmann primarily focused on the French Formula Renault Championship as well. He achieved his first Eurocup podium with a second-place finish at Misano and added two more runner-up results at Barcelona behind champion Filipe Albuquerque. He concluded the Eurocup season eighth overall. In the French championship, Dillmann finished tenth after back-to-back victories late in the season at Le Mans and Magny-Cours.

Formula Three

Prior to the 2007 season, Dillmann was recruited into the Red Bull Junior Team, joining fellow French driver Jean-Karl Vernay. Supported financially by Red Bull, he competed in the 2007 Formula 3 Euro Series for ASM (ART Grand Prix), alongside Romain Grosjean, Nico Hülkenberg, and Kamui Kobayashi. Despite missing the opening round due to injury, Dillmann secured ninth place overall with three podium finishes. During this period, he also served as rookie driver for A1 Team Switzerland during the 2007–08 A1 Grand Prix season.

In 2008, still backed by Red Bull, Dillmann remained in the Euro Series but switched to SG Formula as they entered the championship. Although he demonstrated competitive speed during testing, early difficulties led to his release from Red Bull’s program. Later that year, he joined Jo Zeller Racing for a brief spell, achieving a third-place result at Nürburgring and finishing eighteenth overall. Concurrently, he competed in the Italian Formula Three Championship with Europa Corse, where he earned two second-place and two third-place finishes to end seventh in the standings.

Dillmann started 2009 without a full-time drive but joined HBR Motorsport mid-season in the Euro Series. While initial performances were modest, he improved to a best finish of fourteenth at Nürburgring. Additionally, he raced with Prema Powerteam and Neuhauser Racing in German Formula Three where he quickly showed competitiveness by securing pole positions and multiple podiums including victories at Sachsenring and Oschersleben, finishing sixth overall despite limited appearances.

In 2010, Dillmann contested the German Formula Three Championship full-time with HS Technik. Early season successes included multiple wins at Sachsenring and Hockenheim. After briefly losing then reclaiming the championship lead through strong performances such as double victories at Nürburgring, his consistent results during the latter half of the season enabled him to maintain enough points to clinch the title—the first French driver ever to do so. This achievement earned him a test opportunity with ISR Racing in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series at Motorland Aragón where he recorded the third-fastest time overall and was fastest among rookies.

That year Dillmann also took part in three rounds of the Italian Formula Three Championship driving for Scuderia Victoria and EuroInternational, concluding thirteenth overall. In 2011, he made selected appearances in the Formula 3 Euro Series for Carlin Motorsport and Motopark Academy, securing a podium at Red Bull Ring—the first since 2008. Additionally, he competed in the German Formula Three Trophy class at Zolder where he won one race and finished third in another event.

GP3 Series

In March 2011, Dillmann joined Carlin to compete in the 2011 GP3 Series, partnering with Conor Daly and Leonardo Cordeiro. He earned pole position at the opening round in Istanbul but dropped to third place following a poor getaway. Shortly after this event, Dillmann was released by Carlin and subsequently joined Addax Team during the mid-season test at Hungaroring, continuing with them through Valencia. He managed to score points in three successive rounds—Nürburgring, Hungaroring, and Spa-Francorchamps—ultimately finishing 14th in the overall drivers' standings.

GP2 Series

After completing the 2011 GP3 season, Dillmann participated in GP2 testing sessions for iSport International at Jerez and Barcelona during the off-season. His strong showing secured him a spot in the non-championship 2011 GP2 Final at Yas Marina, where he finished sixth and third in the two races, earning €10,000 from Pirelli as one of the top graduates from GP3. Following pre-season testing with Ocean Racing Technology and Rapax, Dillmann signed with Rapax for the 2012 season opener at Sepang. He claimed his maiden GP2 victory in the Bahrain sprint race but lost his seat midway through the season due to inconsistent performances and financial constraints. He ended the year 15th overall, making him the highest-ranked driver without a full campaign.

In 2013, Dillmann joined Russian Time—a new outfit operated by Motopark—and teamed up with Sam Bird. He recorded two pole positions and fastest laps during the season, finishing tenth in the championship. The following year, after the passing of Russian Time’s team principal led to Dillmann losing his drive, he competed in eight rounds with Arden International and Caterham Racing. During this period, he achieved a podium finish in the Catalunya sprint race and set the fastest lap in the feature race at Hungaroring.

Formula 3.5

Dillmann entered the Formula Renault 3.5 Series in 2015 with Jagonya Ayam with Carlin. Although he did not claim any race victories, he secured pole position in the final round at Jerez and concluded the season seventh in the standings. The next year saw him move to AVF, where he captured two wins, five poles, and two fastest laps, ultimately clinching the championship by a seven-point margin over Louis Delétraz.

Formula E

In August 2015, Dillmann took part in pre-season testing for Team Aguri alongside Stefano Coletti. In April 2017, he participated in free practice sessions for Venturi at the Mexico City ePrix as a replacement for Stéphane Sarrazin and later made his race debut at the Paris ePrix substituting for Maro Engel.

Dillmann secured a full-time seat with Nio Formula E Team for the 2018–19 season but did not score any points, finishing 23rd overall. In May 2021, he returned to Formula E as Jaguar Racing’s simulator and reserve driver.

World Endurance Championship

Dillmann made his World Endurance Championship debut in 2015 with Signatech Alpine, winning his first race at the 2015 6 Hours of Shanghai. After competing once for Extreme Speed Motorsports in 2016, he joined ByKolles Racing's LMP1 program in 2018.

In January 2023, it was announced that Dillmann would drive full-time for Vanwall Racing Team in the Le Mans Hypercar category of the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship alongside Esteban Guerrieri and Jacques Villeneuve—the latter being the 1997 Formula One World Champion. He departed from Vanwall Racing Team in June 2023 on amicable terms to pursue other ventures, praising team principal Colin Kolles. His seat was filled by two-time Super GT champion João Paulo de Oliveira.
