PROFILE

Profile

Nicolas Longuet was born on the 8th June 2002 in Turin, Italy. The young Franco-Italian now lives near Aix-en-Provence, in the South of France.

Passionate about motorsports from a very young age, Nicolas has always dreamed of being one of the elite drivers, especially in the best category : Formula 1. Karting being the most common way for young 4-wheeled prodigies, it was only natural that Nicolas wanted to start his career in this way, like his idol Lewis Hamilton. For various reasons, this goal could not be achieved, but Nicolas discovered that his dream could be pursued through simracing.

After a first competition in March 2018, he won his first title a few months later.

Freshly crowned Vice Champion of France on the Formula1 game in June 2019 during the French F1 GP, he was able to qualify for the F1Esports Prodraft among the 110,000 competitors and was signed by Red Bull Racing to take part in the 2019 Pro Series.

Nicolas concluded his first season with Redbull in 2019 with a F1esports Team World Champion title alongside Frederik Rasmussen and Joni Tormala and won a second World Champion title in 2024 with Ferrari Esports alongside Bari Broumand and John Evans.

Since 2020, he’s been a main driver for Renault/Alpine, AlfaRomeo, Ferrari Scuderia and now Williams F1 Gaming Team into the F1SimRacing Series where he scored 526 points and took 3 victories, 9 pole positions and 12 podiums.

However, the young French driver does not intend to stop at a simulated title and sees Esport as a gateway to conventional motorsport, his primary objective.
