Personal life
[edit]Clairet is the younger brother of fellow racing driver Jimmy Clairet.[1]
Career
[edit]Clairet made his car racing debut in 2013, racing in the Peugeot 208 Racing Cup France.[2] After winning the title the following year,[3] Clairet then spent two years in Clio Cup France before competing in the Peugeot 308 Racing Cup for two years, coming runner-up in 2017 and winning the title in 2018.[4]
In 2019, Clairet joined the TCR Europe grid alongside his brother Jimmy with the family-run Team Clairet Sport.[5] In his maiden season in the series, Clairet took a best result of fourth in the season-ending round at Monza and finished the season 14th in points.[6] During 2019, Clairet also contested the TCR Spa 500 for DG Sport Compétition, finishing second overall and setting the fastest lap in the first edition of the event.[7][8] Clairet remained with the family team for his sophomore season of TCR Europe in 2020.[9] Taking his maiden series podium in the season-opening round at Le Castellet,[10][11] Clairet then had to wait until the season-ending round at Jarama to score his second and final podium of the season to end the year ninth in points.[12]
Remaining in TCR Europe for a third consecutive season,[13] Clairet scored his maiden series win in the second round of the season at Le Castellet,[14] before scoring three more podiums in the following five rounds en route to an eighth-place points finish.[15] Switching to TC France for 2022,[16] Clairet competed in the first four rounds, winning all 12 races and clinching the title with two rounds to spare.[17] That year, Clairet also made a one-off appearance in the TCR Australia Touring Car Series and represented France in the FIA Motorsport Games Touring Car Cup.[18][19]
In 2023, Clairet joined AVR Avvatar to compete in the French GT4 Championship alongside his brother Jimmy.[20] Racing in the Silver Cup, Clairet took a lone class win at Nogaro and scored four more podiums to end the year fifth in points.[21] In late 2023, Clairet also made a brief return to TCR competition, racing in the Bathurst round of the TCR Australia Touring Car Series, held in conjunction with the TCR World Tour.[22] Having spent most of 2024 coaching young drivers, Clairet returned to racing for the TCR Italy finale at Monza,[23] winning race two in his maiden round in the series.[24]
Returning to the family team for 2025, Clairet returned to TCR Europe on a full-time basis for the first time in four years.[25] Finishing third and fourth on his series return at Algarve,[26][27] Clairet then finished fifth in race one at Spa, before taking his maiden win of the season in race two.[28] After winning at Misano,[29] Clairet then finished no higher than seventh at the Red Bull Ring, before finishing fourth and second in the finale at Barcelona to end the year level on points with Jenson Brickley but losing out on the title on countback.[30]
