About Yannick Dalmas

  • Yannick Dalmas (born 28 July 1961 in Le Beausset, Var) is a former racing driver from France.
  • He participated in 49 Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 18 October 1987, but qualified for only 24 of them.
  • His best result in F1 was a 5th place at the 1987 Australian Grand Prix, but he was not eligible for World Championship points at that race.
  • His F1 career was blighted by his health issues, towards the end of 1988, Dalmas was diagnosed with Legionellosis which caused him to miss the final two races.
  • He recovered before the start of 1989 but his illness had clearly affected him. After the 1990 Formula One Season, Dalmas left the series and began racing in Le Mans Prototypes.
  • There he found much more success, winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans four times (in 1992, 1994, 1995 and 1999), each with different teams. In 1994, Dalmas made a brief return to Formula One with cash-strapped Larrousse, but only entered two races.
  • He crashed in Italy, and finished two laps off the lead in Portugal. Dalmas was French Formula Three champion in 1986.
