César Gazeau

César Gazeau (born 17 January 2004) is a French racing driver competing for GetSpeed Team Bartone Bros in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.

Career Gazeau began karting in 2012, finishing third in the Mini Kart standings of the Championnat Régional Bretagne-Pays de la Loire. Racing in mini karts until 2016, Gazeau most notably finished third in the 2015 Kart Racing Academy standings, before securing runner-up honours in the following year's Championnat de France points. Two years in junior karts then ensued, in which he most notably was runner-up in the 2017 Challenge Rotax Max France and the 2018 Championnat de France. In 2019, Gazeau stepped up to senior karts, a year headlined by finishing second in the RMC International Trophy, as well as taking third in the Rotax Max Euro Trophy and National Series Karting standings.

Stepping up to cars in 2020, Gazeau joined Toyota-fielding CMR to compete in the Am class of the French GT4 Cup. In his only season in the series, Gazeau scored five class wins and three other podiums to secure the Am title alongside Wilfried Cazalbon. Remaining in GT4 competition for 2021, Gazeau switched to the European series, as he partnered up with Konstantin Lachenauer to drive AGS Events' Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT4. Racing in the Silver Cup, Gazeau took a lone win in race one at Zandvoort to end the year ninth in the class standings.

Moving to GT3s in 2022, Gazeau joined the Saintéloc Junior Team to compete in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, as he shared an Audi R8 LMS Evo II with Nicolas Baert and Aurélien Panis. In the five-race season, Gazeau took a best overall result of 12th at the Hockenheimring and ended the year fifth in the Silver Cup standings. Continuing with Audi machinery in 2023, Gazeau switched to Boutsen VDS for a dual campaign in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance and Sprint Cups. Between the two campaigns, Gazeau found more success in the Sprint Cup, taking a Gold Cup win at Zandvoort and five more podiums to end the year fourth in points alongside Adam Eteki.

In 2024, Gazeau remained with the team for another dual campaign in GTWC Europe, as the team switched to the Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo. Racing alongside Panis and Roee Meyuhas for the full Endurance Cup season, Gazeau scored a lone class win at the Nürburgring and a podium at Jeddah to end the season third in the Silver Cup points. In the Sprint Cup, also partnering Panis, Gazeau took class wins at Brands Hatch and both Barcelona races en route to a third-place points finish among the Silvers. Staying with Boutsen VDS for a third dual campaign in 2025, Gazeau and Panis took a pair of class wins at Brands Hatch and Valencia, as well as five other podiums to secure runner-up honours in the Sprint Cup's Silver standings. The pair were joined by Loris Cabirou for the Endurance Cup, in which they took class wins at Monza and at the Nürburgring to also end the season runners-up in the Silver Cup standings.

In 2026, Gazeau switched to Mercedes-affiliated GetSpeed Team Bartone Bros to compete in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup alongside Panis and Anthony Bartone. At the 24 Hours of Spa, Gazeau set the overall fastest time in Q3 and was the fastest Silver Cup entrant in Superpole.
