Driver profile
Samuel Tavenaux, ready to drive anything: private tests and track days, anywhere in Europe.
Why now
Ready-made trajectories tell you nothing. Samuel is progressing faster than the calendar: starting from zero in late 2025, he earned his licence, prepared his car and finished a French national rally within six months, building a 12,800+ follower audience along the way. A driver who learns at that speed, still free of any commitment and bringing his own visibility, does not come around twice. The time to open this file is now.
Ready to drive anything
The destination is single-seaters. The route runs through every seat that builds the driver: hand him yours.
01
Rally
Raced: class N2 winner on his very first French national rally, in a car he prepared himself.
02
Karting
Trained: intensive coaching in Switzerland, the driving foundation the whole project is built on.
03
Sim racing
Daily: F4 on iRacing, direct-drive simulator, structured and measured training.
04
Single-seaters
The plan: the Coupe de France des Circuits in Formule Renault in 2027, then the Hoosier Formula Cup, in Regional Formula 3. A GT or endurance opportunity would be taken, but single-seaters remain the priority.
