Mazet won the French Formula Three Championship in 1969 with a Tecno, and moved to Formula Two (F2) with the Sports Motor team alongside Tim Schenken for 1970.[2] It was not a successful move and with sponsorship from Shell Petroleum, Mazet raced Jo Siffert's F2 Chevron when Siffert was unavailable as well as touring cars for Ford Germany.[2] The association with Siffert led to Mazet driving the team's March 701 at Paul Ricard in the 1971 French Grand Prix.[2] This however, was his only attempt at Formula One.
After his racing career ended, Mazet was involved in the sponsorship of Lotus by Essex Petroleum in the 1980s.[2]
