Matisse Lismont (born 10 January 2005) is a Belgian racing driver who competes for Team WRT in GT World Challenge Europe.
Lismont is a member of A14 Management, overseen by two-time Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso.[1]
Career
Born in Leuven,[2] Lismont initially began his career in motocross events, but after a trackday experience at Spa in 2021, he took on car racing on a full-time basis.[3] Competing in the VW Fun Cup in 2022,[4] Lismont finished third in the Pure class standings,[5] before returning the following year and scoring a handful of podiums.[6][7] During 2023, Lismont also raced for PK Carsport in Belcar,[8] most notably winning the 24 Hours of Zolder in the TA class.[9]
Making his GT3 debut in 2024, Lismont joined Comtoyou Racing to compete in a dual campaign in both the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance and Sprint Cups,[10] as a candidate for the Aston Martin Racing Driver Academy.[11] In the Endurance Cup, Lismont mostly raced in the Silver Cup, in which he scored a lone podium at Jeddah,[12] as well as taking a Gold Cup podium in a one-off class appearance at Monza.[13] Competing in the Gold Cup throughout the entire Sprint Cup season, Lismont took a best overall result of 11th at Barcelona and finished fifth in the class standings at season's end.[14] During 2024, Lismont also finished third in International GT Open's Spa 500 for Comtoyou and won on his NLS debut in the BMW M2 CS class with the same team.[15][16]
At the beginning of 2025, Lismont remained with Comtoyou to compete in the Dubai 24 Hour and select rounds of the GT Winter Series.[17][18] Lismont was then set to continue with the Belgian team for another dual campaign in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance and Sprint Cups,[19] before switching to Corvette-aligned Steller Motorsport on the eve of the season.[20] Having taken a Silver Cup podium at Le Castellet in the Endurance Cup,[21] Lismont split with Steller after the 24 Hours of Spa due to contractual issues and joined BMW-fielding Team WRT to complete the season.[22][23] Following the team change, Lismont most notably scored a class win and podium at Valencia in the Sprint Cup to take 11th in the Silver's standings.[24] During 2025, Lismont also won the 12 Hours of Misano overall, as well as finishing second at the 24 Hours of Barcelona with Audi-fielding HAAS RT.[25][26] Towards the end of the year, Lismont joined EBM for the Sepang round of the 2025–26 Asian Le Mans Series in the GT class,[27] before reuniting with HAAS RT to race at the 2026 Dubai 24 Hour.[28]
For the rest of 2026, Lismont returned to Team WRT to compete in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance and Sprint Cups, sharing a BMW M4 GT3 Evo with Amaury Cordeel and Ignacio Montenegro.[29]
