Early career edit
Following a career in karting and a lone season in the French F4 Championship in 2015 where he scored two podiums and finished eighth overall, Andlauer moved to the Porsche Carrera Cup France.[3] After finishing fifth in the standings with Saintéloc Racing, the Frenchman would score seven wins in 2017 to win the French title as part of the Martinet by Alméras outfit.[4] Andlauer became a Porsche junior driver near the end of the year, having impressed the German manufacturer in a two-day talent shootout at the Lausitzring.[5]
Porsche junior edit
As part of his selection in the shootout, Andlauer would progress to the Porsche Supercup in 2018.[6] Remaining with Martinet by Alméras, he would score both wins at the season-ending round in Mexico City and ended up fourth in the standings.[7]
During 2018, Andlauer would also make his debut in the FIA World Endurance Championship, competing in the LMGTE Am category for Dempsey-Proton Racing alongside Matt Campbell and team owner Christian Ried.[8] Having started out with a fourth place in Spa, the trio would end up winning their class at the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans, making Andlauer the youngest driver to triumph in the race's history at the age of 18.[9][10] The team added another win at Silverstone, but a disqualification at the subsequent round in Fuji for data manipulation was compounded by the team losing all points from the opening four races of the WEC season.[11] Two back-to-back victories at Shanghai and Sebring followed, before Andlauer missed the 2019 Spa event. He returned for the final round - the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans - in which the team finished fourth.[12] As a result of his performances, having helped Proton to win four races and finish second in the teams' standings, Andlauer was promoted to gold ranking by the FIA from 2019 onwards.[13]
In addition, Andlauer returned to the Porsche Supercup in 2019, whilst also competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany. Driving for BWT Lechner Racing in both series, he would win the German championship, having taken five victories, and finished third in the Supercup with two wins.[14]
At the conclusion of the year, Andlauer was promoted from junior driver to young professional status by Porsche.[15]
Porsche young professional edit
2020 saw Andlauer competing in the Michelin Le Mans Cup, driving a Porsche 911 GT3 R for Pzoberer Zürichsee by TFT alongside gentleman driver Nicolas Leutwiler.[16] The pair finished third in the standings, winning races in Le Castellet and Monza.[17]
After finishing second in the Asian Le Mans Series at the beginning of 2021, Andlauer would remain in the MLMC with Pzoberer Zürichsee and Leutwiler, whilst also returning to the GTE Am class of the WEC with Dempsey-Proton Racing for four rounds.[18] These included another appearance at Le Mans, where the Frenchman would score pole in his class.[19] Andlauer helped Leutwiler towards two victories in the Le Mans Cup, which included a win at the Road to Le Mans event.[20]
In a scattered 2022 campaign, Andlauer would compete in a variety of individual events, including the 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, the 24 Hours of Spa and the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, as well as racing in numerous NLS Series races.[21][22][23] He also took part at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, setting the fastest lap of the race and finishing second with WeatherTech Racing.[24]
For 2023, the final year of LMGTE regulations, the Frenchman would return to Proton Competition's WEC operations on a full-time basis, partnering Christian Ried and Mikkel O. Pedersen, whilst also driving for the team in the European Le Mans Series with Ried and Giammarco Levorato.[25][26] The WEC season began promisingly with a second place at Sebring, however the team would struggle throughout the subsequent rounds and retired from Le Mans after an accident caused by an LMP2 car.[27][28][29] They bounced back with their season highlight at Monza, as Andlauer and his teammates put together a consistent drive to win the race, a result which eventually helped the #77 crew to finish fourth in the standings.[30][31] In the ELMS, a lap one crash at Barcelona cost the team dearly, as they missed out on the championship by 20 points to the sister car despite taking three podiums, which included wins at Le Castellet and the Algarve.[32]
During the post-season winter, Andlauer made his prototype debut in the LMP2 class of the AsLMS, driving alongside René Binder and Giorgio Roda at Proton.[33] He quickly impressed, helping the team towards a podium in Sepang and missing out narrowly on victory at Dubai to category stalwart Louis Delétraz.[34] At the season finale in Abu Dhabi, Andlauer set the fastest lap and finished second, which took the team into a runner-up spot in the standings.[35][36]
Following his maiden prototype outing, Porsche would elevate Andlauer into the top class of the WEC, as he would be contesting the 2024 season as part of Proton's Hypercar lineup together with Harry Tincknell and Neel Jani.[37] Filling up his schedule was a campaign in the ELMS, where he drove in the LMGT3 category alongside Matteo Cressoni and gentleman driver Claudio Schiavoni.[38] At the 6 Hours of Spa, Andlauer made headlines for performing four overtakes at the Eau Rouge/Raidillon complex and setting the fastest race lap, leading Proton towards a fifth-place finish.[39][40]
