Doriane Pin named Team Peugeot TotalEnergies development driver

Team Peugeot TotalEnergies has recruited Doriane Pin as a development driver on the Peugeot 9X8 Hypercar, the French outfit has announced.

Doriane Pin, fresh from her 2025 F1 Academy success, has been enrolled as a development driver for Team Peugeot TotalEnergies. She will therefore take part in the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship Rookie Test in Bahrain in November. Pin will bring her vibrant energy and her precise, adaptable approach to driving to the team’s technical programme.

This new role adds yet another string to her already solid bow in endurance that includes a class win at the 24 Hours of Spa. In 2023, she competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans Centenary at the wheel of an Oreca 07-Gibson LMP2 prototype fielded by Prema Racing.
As a development driver, Pin will complete several simulator sessions to familiarise herself with the Peugeot 9X8 and work in close collaboration with the engineer teams.

“Joining Team Peugeot TotalEnergies as a development driver is a great source of pride for me,” she enthused. “Being able to contribute to the development of the PEUGEOT 9X8 represents a real opportunity. My goal is to learn as much as possible, fully integrate into the team, and bring my commitment and perspective to help contribute to the success of the project. It’s a big step toward my goals, and I’m determined to make the most of it with the ambition of becoming an official driver."

Emmanuel Esnault, Team Peugeot TotalEnergies team principal, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Doriane to the Peugeot Sport family. Doriane’s track record and dynamic approach make her a fantastic addition to our development programme. We’re looking forward to the new perspectives she will bring as we continue refining the 9X8 and we are eager to see her get behind the wheel during the FIA WEC Rookie Test in Bahrain this November.”
