Manthey has announced that Porsche works driver Ayhancan Güven will drive the #911 Porsche 911 GT3 R in this month’s Rolex 24 At Daytona.
Güven, the reigning DTM Champion who won the 2025 title with a memorable last-lap overtake in the season finale at Hockenheim, joins the already-announced GTD PRO Endurance Cup trio of Klaus Bachler, Ricardo Feller, and 2023 DTM Champion Thomas Preining in the #911 Porsche.
The Turkish driver made his IMSA and Rolex 24 debut last year with Wright Motorsports. Alongside co-drivers Adam Adelson, Elliott Skeer, and Tom Sargent, Güven finished second in GTD behind the winning #13 AWA (now 13 Autosport) Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R.
Güven has already been confirmed as one of Manthey’s full-time pro drivers for the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship, driving their #91 Porsche with James Cottingham and Timur Boguslavskiy. In the winter, Güven was promoted to a full-fledged works driver role at Porsche.
Ryan Hardwick, Riccardo Pera, Morris Schuring, and Richard Lietz will drive Manthey’s No. 912 Porsche in GTD, as announced last month.
