Romain Favre (born 22 June 2005) is a French racing driver competing for DKR Engineering in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series.

Career

Favre made his car racing debut in 2022, competing in the Trophée MitJet 2L France for Matthieu Vaxivière and Aurélien Panis' VPS Racing.[1] After taking his first two wins of the season at Nogaro, Favre took two more wins at Albi and one at Barcelona,[2][3] as well as six other podiums to secure the series title at the season-ending Le Castellet round.[4]

Favre's Alpine A110 Cup at Paul Ricard in 2023.

The following year, Favre remained with VPS Racing to switch to the Alpine Elf Europa Cup,[5] scoring a lone win at Spa and three other podiums en route to a third-place points finish.[6][7] During 2023, Favre also sampled Porsche Cup and LMP3 machinery in select appearances in the Ultimate Cup Series for 2B Autosport and Inter Europol Competition respectively.[8] Towards the end of the year, Favre also participated in the European Le Mans Series rookie test at the Algarve International Circuit for Cool Racing's LMP3 squad.[9]

In 2024, Favre remained with Inter Europol Competition, as he made his debut in the Ligier European Series, competing in the JS P4 class.[10][11] Despite winning on debut at Barcelona, Favre was demoted to ninth post-race after failing to respect the minimum pit stop time,[12] and had to wait until the following round at Le Castellet for his only win of the season.[13] After finishing third at Le Mans and Spa, Favre left the series with two rounds remaining and ended the season sixth in the JS P4 standings.[14] In parallel, Favre raced with 2B Autosport in the Porsche Cup class of the Ultimate Cup Series GT Endurance Cup, taking one win and finishing on the podium in every race he started to secure runner-up honours.[15] During 2024, Favre also raced with Inter Europol in the last two rounds of the European Endurance Prototype Cup, winning both races in LMP3.[16]

Making the full-time switch to LMP3 for 2025, Favre joined Forestier Racing by VPS to race in the Le Mans Cup alongside Louis Rousset.[17] In his only season in the series, Favre finished third on debut at Barcelona,[18] before taking a season-best second at both Silverstone and Portimão to end the year third in the LMP3 standings.[19][20] At the end of the year, Favre sampled LMP2 machinery in the ELMS rookie test for DKR Engineering.[21]

Continuing down the LMP3 route the following year, Favre stepped up to the European Le Mans Series, partnering Wyatt Brichacek and Antti Rammo at DKR for his rookie year in the series.[22] After finishing ninth on debut at Barcelona, Favre qualified on pole at Le Castellet,[23] and took third in the race after an unscheduled pit stop to close the car's left-hand door took him out of the lead.[24]
