“We are very pleased to have Laurin join us for Watkins Glen. A huge thank you to Porsche Motorsport for this opportunity. Laurin has really “clicked” with our team. He brings more than just amazing driving talent. He has a “can-do” attitude in and out of the car, which makes the whole team stronger.

The remainder of the season is on tracks where we have had success in the past, and having Laurin onboard gives us that much more confidence for the rest of the 2026 season.”
