Landais began his competitive career in rallying at the age of 21, debuting as co-driver to Laurent Gracial at the 2012 Rallye de France-Alsace. He joined the FIA European Rally Championship in 2014, partnering with Robert Consani in a Peugeot 207 S2000 for the first four rounds of the season. In 2015, Landais teamed up with Jonathan Hirschi, and the pair stepped up to the WRC2 category, achieving a best finish of fifth in class at the Monte Carlo Rally.^[1]

The partnership with Hirschi concluded at the end of the 2015 season. For 2016, Landais began a successful collaboration with fellow French driver Pierre-Louis Loubet. The duo's most significant achievement came in 2019 when they secured the WRC2 Championship title driving a Škoda Fabia R5.^[2] This success led to their entry into the top-tier World Rally Championship class in 2020 with 2C Competition.^[3] Their WRC debut occurred at the Rally Estonia, although they retired due to a steering rack failure.^[4] They went on to score their first WRC points later that season in Sardinia.^[5]

Loubet and Landais were initially handed a full-season entry with Hyundai 2C Competition for 2021, but they parted ways after the first three rounds, with Florian Haut-Labourdette taking over as Loubet's co-driver.^[6][7]

Landais and Loubet reunited to compete in the Ford Puma Rally1 during 2022.^[8] The pair scored a season best of 4th place in Italy and Greece.

When Benjamin Veillas stepped down as co-driver for eight-time World Champion Sébastien Ogier ahead of the final round of the 2022 season, Landais was selected to join the Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT team alongside Ogier.^[9] Their partnership quickly yielded results, Landais secured his first career WRC victory at the opening round of the 2023 season, the Monte Carlo Rally.^[10] The pair followed this up with wins at Rally Mexico and the Safari Rally, where they led a dominant 1-2-3-4 finish for the Toyota team.^[11][12][13]

Heading into 2024, Ogier and Landais committed to a partial programme, competing in all but two rounds. They achieved three more victories that season in Croatia, Portugal, and Finland.^{[14][15][16][17]} Their campaign was marked by an incident at Rally Poland where they were forced to withdraw following a car accident on a recce run prior to the official event. Their Toyota collided with a Ford, hospitalizing both Ogier and Landais. The driver of the Ford later died in hospital. ^[18][19][20]

Heading into 2025, Landais and Ogier continued with a part schedule. They won the opening round in Monte Carlo, before winning a further five events during the season.^{[21][22][23][24][25]} Landais achieved the ultimate success by winning the his first World Rally Championship title alongside Ogier who won his ninth.^[26][27] Their efforts also helped Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT secure the World Constructors' Championship.^[28][29] Landais will continue as Ogier's co-driver at Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT for 2026, completing a partial season consisting of over half the championship events.^[30]
