He participated in only one Formula One World Championship Grand Prix, finished 13th and scored no championship points.

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.<ref name="ReferenceA">Template:Cite book</ref> 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.<ref name ="ReferenceA"/> The association with Siffert led to Mazet driving the team's March 701 at Paul Ricard in the 1971 French Grand Prix.<ref name ="ReferenceA"/> 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.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
