Formula racing // French
Doriane Pin has emerged as one of motorsport’s most promising young talents, demonstrating exceptional skill across multiple racing disciplines from endurance to single-seaters while breaking barriers as a female competitor in the male-dominated world of racing.
EARLY YEARS
Born January 6, 2004 in France, Doriane grew up immersed in motorsport culture thanks to her father, who organized go-karting events through his company Fun and Race. At just four years old, she would accompany him to tracks, watching and photographing go-karts. Though she expressed interest in competing at age seven, regulations required her to wait until turning nine in 2013 to begin her karting journey, where she quickly excelled on the national scene.
EARLY SUCCESS
Doriane’s competitive racing career began in karting, culminating in her 2019 victory in the French Women’s Championship. Her transition to car racing came in 2020 with the Renault Clio Cup France, where she finished second in the junior category. The pivotal moment arrived in 2021 when she joined the Iron Dames project, competing in GT3 endurance racing and scoring five podiums in the Le Mans Cup. Her breakthrough came in 2022 when she dominated the Ferrari Challenge Europe, securing the championship with nine wins from 14 races.
