Pierre-Alexandre Provost

Junior formulae

Provost began his car racing career in 2021, competing in the French F4 Championship.^[3] After struggling in the opening three rounds, Provost benefited from the reversed-top-ten format for race 2 at Lédenon, as he started from pole and took victory.^[4] The same format later helped him towards another podium — second place at Magny-Cours — on his way to 11th in the standings.^[5] Provost later admitted that he "was lost at first", having started the season at the age of fourteen and with minimal karting experience; he also began studying at a boarding school in Le Mans as part of a sports-study programme.^[6]

In 2022, Provost remained in French F4.^[7] At the season opener in Nogaro, Provost scored his first main-race podium with second in race 3.^[8] His next podium came in the reversed-grid race at Magny-Cours, finishing second after losing the lead to Yuto Nomura.^[9] Provost then endured a retirement-laden streak in four of the next five races; he clipped a stalled Souta Arao at the start in Magny-Cours race 3, got stranded in the gravel at turn one of race 1 at Spa-Francorchamps and was collected at the same turn in race 3, and spun out of the opening Lédenon event.^{[10][11][12][13]} The tables turned in race 2, as Provost took the lead at the start and remained ahead of Hugh Barter for his second win in the series.^[14] In race 3, Provost finished eighth after clipping Nomura into a spin.^[15] The final incident of Provost's season came in Valencia, where he retired after colliding with Edgar Pierre.^[16] Provost concluded the season with third and fourth places in the Le Castellet feature races, results that helped him towards eighth in the championship.^[17][18]

During the latter months of 2022, Provost partook in the Formula Regional European Championship post-season tests with G4 Racing.^[19] After focusing on his studies during the first half of 2023, Provost joined G4 ahead of the sixth round of the 2023 FRECA season.^[20][21] Provost finished 26th in his series debut at Le Castellet.^[22] His best result ended up being 14th in Monza, and Provost finished 30th in the standings with no points to his name.^[23]

Sports car career

In 2024, Provost joined MV2S for his maiden sports car season, driving in the NP02 class of the Ultimate Cup Series alongside Christophe Cresp.^[24] The pair claimed two class podiums, finishing third at Portimão and Paul Ricard, and ended up eighth in the NP02 drivers' standings.^[25][26] The Portimão race proved a highlight, as Provost climbed from 20th to the lead during his first stint.^[27]

Provost stepped up to the LMP3 category in 2025, piloting a Ligier JS P325 in the Le Mans Cup. He was joined by youngster Alvise Rodella at CLX Motorsport.^[28] During the season opener in Barcelona-Catalunya, Provost and Rodella finished second in a 1-2 finish for CLX.^[29][30] At the following round in Le Castellet, Provost scored the first pole of his career.^[31] He drove out a gap early on during the race and claimed victory.^[32][33]
