Angelique Detavernier is a Belgian endurance racing specialist who has carved out a steady career navigating GT machinery across Europe’s most demanding multi-class series and marathon events.

EARLY YEARS

Born January 24, 1986, in Verviers, Belgium, Angelique Detavernier got involved in motorsport from a young age. The specifics of how she first encountered racing remain undocumented, but her early commitment to the sport set the foundation for what would become a career focused on endurance competition. Unlike many drivers who start in karting and climb the single-seater ladder, Detavernier’s path led her directly toward the grueling world of multi-hour sports car racing—a discipline that demands consistency, stamina, and the ability to work seamlessly within a team environment.

OTHER INTERESTS

Information about Detavernier’s life outside the cockpit remains private. Her hobbies, academic interests, and pursuits beyond racing have not been publicly documented, allowing her motorsport career to speak for itself.

EARLY SUCCESS

By 2016, Detavernier was competing in the Challenge Endurance GT Tourisme V de V, establishing herself in the European endurance racing scene. Her progression through the ranks continued in 2018 when she joined AF Corse for the Blancpain GT Sports Club, piloting a Ferrari 488 GT3. That season, she accumulated 30 points and finished 8th overall—a respectable result in a competitive field. She also made appearances in the 24H Series – Europe with Comtoyou Racing, racing an Audi R8 LMS Ultra in the A6 class. The partnership with Comtoyou Racing extended to the Blancpain GT Sports Club at Spa, where the Belgian team fielded her in one of Europe’s most prestigious GT events.

In 2019, Detavernier continued to build her endurance credentials. She competed in the GT4 European Series Am class with Selleslagh Racing Team, driving a Mercedes-AMG GT4 equipped with a 4.0-liter turbocharged engine and Pirelli tires. Over two races, she secured one podium finish—a tangible result that demonstrated her growing competitiveness. That same year, she tackled the Blancpain Endurance Series Am Cup, earning 15 points across the season. Perhaps most notably, she entered the legendary Total 24 Hours of Spa with Comtoyou Racing in car #50, a 1969 Tribute Porsche 911 GT3 Cup MR. Sharing driving duties with Loïc Deman, Marc Duez, and Stéphane Lémeret, the team completed 62 laps before failing to classify—a harsh reminder of how brutally unforgiving endurance racing can be.
