Paul Lafargue (racing driver)

Paul Lafargue (born 8 July 1988) is a French racing driver. Having started his car racing career at the relatively late age of 23, Lafargue has been a regular in the European Le Mans Series's LMP2, where he has been competing for his father's team IDEC Sport since 2016.

The Frenchman won the 2019 European Le Mans Series alongside Paul-Loup Chatin and Memo Rojas. He has also competed in the International GT Open and the Le Mans Cup, as well as several classic car races.

Lafargue started competing in 2011, driving in the prototype class of the V de V Challenge Endurance in his homeland. Having made a one-off appearance in the series's single-seater category in 2013, Lafargue would take his first race win that year, taking home the 997 class win at the 24 Hours of Barcelona. In 2014, the Frenchman won his first races in the Endurance Challenge, which, alongside four further podiums, earned him and Ruffier Racing the V de V title. He would finish second the following year, racing for the team built by his father on the basis of Ruffier Racing: IDEC Sport. During the same season, he, father Patrice Lafargue, and Gabriel Abergel drove a Porsche 997 GT3 Cup car in the 24H Series, winning three races and the class title.
