Karen Gaillard
The Driver
Passionate about motorsport since childhood, Karen Gaillard started her first competitive karting season at the age of 17 and has since pursued clear goals: to become a professional racing driver and compete at the highest level, such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Each season is another step towards these goals. On the track, she pushes her limits. Off it, she builds a community of enthusiasts and partners who share this ambition.

Swiss driver Karen Gaillard will continue racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup in 2026, but on the other side of the Alps.

"I don't want to be the first woman, I want to be the first pilot," Karen Gaillard tells me, more determined than ever, at the presentation evening for her 2026 season.

After a 2025 season marked by constant progression in the Porsche Carrera Cup France, Karen Gaillard will participate in 2026 in the highly competitive Porsche Carrera Cup Italy with the Ombra Racing team.
