About Julien Canal
Julien Antoine Jules Canal is a French racing driver. Having won his class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2010, 2011 and 2012 whilst driving GT cars, Canal became a staple of the LMP2 category, winning the WEC class title in 2015 and 2017. Canal's Le Mans 24 Hour venture that year yielded a positive result too, as he scored his first LMP2 podium at the event since 2015 by finishing third alongside Jamin and Matthieu Vaxivière. A podium at Barcelona started off the year, though it was a victory at Monza, which was the team's first win in the series, that helped Canal and his teammates in the championship. He raced in French Formula Renault for four seasons, scoring his first podium in his final season in 2006 and finishing sixth overall.
