She discovered racing in 1995 at Le Mans, where she watched her father, Jacques Laffite, compete. That moment sparked a career that would see her win the Women's Trophy in the Andros Trophy in 2005.

Since 2018, she has been hosting programs during race weekends alongside Franck Montagny. Beyond broadcasting, she has sponsored the Association du Sport et Plus since 2013.

Laffite's personal life includes two children. She gave birth to her son Albert in 2015, and a daughter in 2020. She married Arnaud Tsamere in 2015 and later divorced. Her career also includes serving on the jury for the Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille 2017 and participating in the Tour Auto Optic 2000 in 2018. She has brown hair and a slim build.
