Frédéric Michel Henry Johais (born 15 September 1980, in Tours, France) is a French racing driver. He has worked in the Las Vegas-based racing school, Exotics Racing, since 2013.
Johais raced in karting from 1991 to 1999, reaching a world-class level in the Karting World Championship in 1999, while he was racing alongside Fernando Alonso, Kimi Räikkönen and Heikki Kovalainen.
2000
In 2000, Johais made his start in auto racing through the Citroën Saxo Cup. Despite a crash at the start of his second race in Nogaro, he finished 11th overall (5th in Junior) and was named Rookie of the Year.[1]
In 2001, Frederic competed in the Citroen Saxo Cup and the French Formula Renault 2000 Championship, sharing the car with Patrick Pilet. In the Saxo Cup, he finished third overall after winning one race, and picked up the title in the Junior Category. In Formula Renault, he had a rough season with a small budget and saw his best result in Estoril at the Renault International Finals (15th).[1]
2002
In 2002, thanks to Bernard Simmenauer, he moved up to the French FFSA GT Championship with the Porsche 996 GT3 RS in the McDonald's Racing Team, alongside Jean Louis Miloe. After finishing in the top 5 during the season start, Johais was forced to stop at the middle of the season due to a lack of money. To finish his season, he raced in a go kart, finishing runner up in the French endurance championship and 2nd at Le Mans 24 hours race.[1]
