20-year-old Dutch racer Morris Schuring has become a Porsche contracted driver ahead of the 2025 racing season.
As a contracted driver for the German brand, he can be assigned as a driver in consultation with Porsche Motorsport to support Porsche customer teams all over the world.
Schuring steps into this role after climbing the sportscar racing ladder via one-make Porsche racing and a hugely successful FIA WEC LMGT3 campaign in 2024 with Manthey, which included a class win at the Le Mans 24 Hours (below).
“This really is a dream come true, something that was my goal from the very beginning,” says Schuring. “The fact that I can now officially race for and on behalf of Porsche means a lot to me!
“Ever since I was a young boy it has been my dream to be allowed to race for Porsche, ever since my father raced on the Nordschleife in a Porsche. When I started karting, it was also my aim to be able to drive Porsches myself.
“That was also the main reason why I did not choose single-seaters, but immediately went down the road of GTs and Porsche one-make series. I became the youngest race winner in both the German Carrera Cup and the Supercup and aimed to be selected for the ‘shoot-out’ for the position of Porsche Motorsport Junior Driver.
“I succeeded in 2023 on behalf of the German cup. I had good credentials but was ultimately not chosen, which was a big disappointment. Thankfully, there was an alternative in the FIA WEC with Manthey.
“Of course, it is fantastic that the connections with Porsche have now led to an official contract! It is a great honour to follow in the footsteps of someone like Gijs van Lennep. I will do everything in my power to live up to the confidence Porsche has placed in me.”
The races on Schuring’s programme for this year will be announced shortly.
