Reshad de Gerus


Reshad Jean de Gerus is a French racing driver from Réunion, currently competing in the European Le Mans Series for Duqueine Team.

Early career

French F4 Championship

De Gerus drove in the French F4 Championship from 2018 to 2019. In his debut season, he took part in the Junior category, finishing runner-up to Théo Pourchaire with four wins and sixteen podiums. In 2019, de Gerus competed in the full championship, where four wins, including one at the Pau Circuit, helped him to second in the standings.

FIA Motorsport Games

De Gerus represented Team France and the FFSA at the 2019 FIA Motorsport Games Formula 4 Cup where an Olympic style competition takes place with different categories of racing. De Gerus was driving in the Formula 4 Cup. After qualifying, he was in ninth, just over two seconds off the pace. For the qualifying race, he slipped back one place meaning Team France would start in tenth behind Team Russia. The race itself saw De Gerus finish fifth.

Formula Renault Eurocup

In January 2020 it was announced that De Gerus would compete in the Formula Renault Eurocup for British team Arden Motorsport alongside Alex Quinn and Ugo de Wilde. While his teammates both finished inside the top ten in the standings, de Gerus would have a more difficult campaign, with only three points finishes seeing him end up 17th in the championship.

FIA Formula 3 Championship

De Gerus graduated to Formula 3 in 2021, racing alongside Logan Sargeant and Enzo Fittipaldi at Charouz Racing System. He left the team after twelve races, having taken a best result of 13th in Barcelona.

Sportscar career

2022

In February 2022, it was announced that de Gerus has joined Duqueine Team for the European Le Mans Series campaign, racing for the French outfit alongside Richard Bradley and Memo Rojas. Following three rounds, where the team scored a best finish of sixth at Imola, de Gerus quit the series.
That year, de Gerus also made his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, thus becoming the first driver from the French Overseas Department of Réunion to compete in the event.

2023

Having been upgraded from silver to gold-ranked status by the FIA, de Gerus returned to the ELMS in 2023, pairing up with José María López and Vladislav Lomko at Cool Racing. The season started well, with de Gerus taking his maiden pole position in sportscars at Barcelona. Despite another pole scored by López at the following round, the team would struggle to achieve results throughout the year, with the best finish being a lone podium in Spa-Francorchamps, which came about after a chaotic race in the LMP2 class. The trio ended up sixth in the standings.
Alongside Lomko and Simon Pagenaud, de Gerus drove for Cool in the Le Mans 24 Hours, though the race would end prematurely as he crashed at the Porsche Curves during the night.

2024

For the 2024 season, de Gerus remained in the ELMS, moving to IDEC Sport and driving alongside Job van Uitert and Paul Lafargue. After three successive fourth places to start off the season, de Gerus and van Uitert finished third at Spa, moving up to third place in the standings. However, a crash caused by the No. 55 GT Ferrari of Duncan Cameron forced the Frenchman to retire at Mugello, leaving the team out of the title hunt. De Gerus ended up sixth in the drivers' standings.
After van Uitert qualified second at Le Mans, de Gerus helped IDEC towards its first podium at the event, finishing third. Following the season, de Gerus was chosen by the ACO to take part in the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship rookie test at the Bahrain International Circuit, where he drove the title-winning Toyota GR010 Hybrid.

2025

De Gerus joined Duqueine Team for the 2025 ELMS season, partnering sportscar rookies Roy Nissany and Francesco Simonazzi. At the opening round in Barcelona, de Gerus repeated his feat from 2023 and claimed pole. However, a gearbox issue during his stint forced the team to retire. Seventh at Paul Ricard and ninth in Imola sandwiched de Gerus's appearance at Le Mans, where he joined Macéo Capietto and Jonas Ried at Iron Lynx. After racing for second place for a large part of the event — and having briefly lost the position to Louis Delétraz in the evening — de Gerus and his teammates finished fourth in LMP2.

Personal life

De Gerus has been acting as a mentor to Belgian driver Lorens Lecertua, the 2023 champion of the Alpine Elf Europa Cup.
