Landais began his competitive rally career at the age of 21, debuting as co-driver to Laurent Gracial at the 2012 Rallye de France-Alsace. He entered the FIA European Rally Championship in 2014, co-driving for Robert Consani in a Peugeot 207 S2000 across the first four rounds of the season. In 2015, Landais partnered Jonathan Hirschi and the pair stepped up to WRC2, achieving a best finish of fifth in class at the Monte Carlo Rally.
Following the end of his collaboration with Hirschi, Landais began a successful long-term partnership with fellow French driver Pierre-Louis Loubet in 2016. Their most significant achievement together came in 2019, when they secured the WRC2 Championship title driving a Škoda Fabia R5. This success earned them promotion to the top-tier World Rally Championship class in 2020 with 2C Competition. Their WRC debut came at the Rally Estonia, though they retired with a steering rack failure. They collected their first WRC points later that season in Sardinia.
The pair were initially handed a full-season Hyundai 2C Competition entry for 2021, but parted ways after the first three rounds, with Florian Haut-Labourdette stepping in as Loubet's co-driver. Landais and Loubet subsequently reunited for 2022, competing in a Ford Puma Rally1 and achieving a season-best fourth-place result in Italy and Greece.
When Benjamin Veillas stood down as Sébastien Ogier's co-driver ahead of the final round of the 2022 season, Landais was selected to fill the seat alongside the eight-time world champion at Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT. The partnership quickly proved productive: at the opening round of the 2023 season, the Monte Carlo Rally, Landais secured his first career WRC victory. The pair added further wins at Rally Mexico and the Safari Rally, where they led a dominant 1-2-3-4 finish for Toyota.
In 2024, Ogier and Landais committed to a partial programme, contesting all but two rounds. They took three victories that season — in Croatia, Portugal, and Finland — but their campaign was interrupted at Rally Poland, where the pair were involved in a serious road accident during a pre-event recce run. Their Toyota collided with a Ford, hospitalising both Ogier and Landais. The driver of the other vehicle later died in hospital.
Heading into 2025 with another partial schedule, Landais and Ogier opened the season with victory at Monte Carlo before adding five further wins across the calendar. Landais crowned his career with his first World Rally Championship title, while Ogier simultaneously claimed his ninth drivers' championship. Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT also secured the World Constructors' Championship in the same season.
Landais will continue as Ogier's co-driver at Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT in 2026, competing in a partial schedule covering more than half the championship calendar.
Vincent Landais stands as one of the most accomplished co-drivers in contemporary WRC. His route to the championship, via the ERC, WRC2 title with Loubet, and eventual graduation to one of the sport's most storied driver partnerships, reflects a career built on consistent progression. Winning the 2025 WRC co-driver title alongside Sébastien Ogier places Landais among the elite names in rally co-driving history.
