Romain Dumas has won all three of Europe’s classic 24-hour races – at the Nürburgring, Le Mans and Spa – to emerge as one of the sport’s most successful (twice) round-the-clock drivers!

It was Romain Dumas’ first season as a factory Porsche driver in 2003 that saw him claim his first 24-hour victory: at Spa, with Stéphane Ortelli and Marc Lieb in a Porsche 911 GT3 RS.

The Frenchman followed that up with back-to-back successes in the Nürburgring 24 Hours with Manthey Racing (Porsche GT3 RSR), in 2007, 2008 and 2009, while this year produced his maiden win in the daddy of them all, Le Mans, with Audi.

The list continues with GT honours in the Daytona 24 Hours and two ALMS crowns, making him one of most successful endurance and 24-hour racers in the business.

Romain is in action this weekend at Spa, sharing the N°23 BMS Scuderia Italia-run Porsche with his chums Bergmeister, Ragginger and Henzler.
