After beginning his career in single-seaters, Moreau switched to sports car racing. He has competed in five consecutive editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, from 2007 until 2011, with a best result of seventh overall and second in class in the 2010 event. He was also scheduled to drive in the 2012 race, but withdrew after crashing heavily during the test day preceding the event, sustaining damage to his twelfth vertebra and compressing his spinal cord.[1] After successful surgery, he is currently recuperating from his injuries.[2]
