Doriane Pin and Lilou Wadoux, rising stars

Doriane Pin and Lilou Wadoux

How much progress has been made in one year. Selected last season to perform the Rookie Test WEC in LM P2 when she had just won a round of theAlpine Europa Cup in Portimão (Portugal), Lilou Wadoux became on Sunday November 13, 2022 the first woman to sit behind the wheel of a prototype in the Hypercar category. “A year ago, I took my test, she remembered. It was already exceptional, because I didn't expect to do LM P2 this year, and a year later, I'm in an LMH. » And not just any one, since the Amianoise has settled in the Toyota GR010 hybrid crowned world champion the day before. And before even thinking about getting behind the wheel, the Habs had to study. “Learning the manual is already something that has kept me very busy, Lilou told us in the darkness of a paddock while packing up the last vestiges of a 2022 season that has definitely ended. There are a lot of important procedures to learn, but overall it went pretty well and was cool. It was a very good experience, I did 30 laps with the car. Lots of things were new to me. I quickly felt comfortable, after 3 or 4 laps. »<
