THERESE LAHLOUH Headlines Porsche Female Driver Program in Record GTWC Field

March 2, 2026

• THERESE LAHLOUH makes her mark as the standout female competitor in GT World Challenge America’s record 21-car field, bringing Porsche Sprint Challenge North America credentials and Porsche Female Driver Program backing to Wright Motorsports. She’ll co-drive with Thomas Merrill in one of Wright’s two Pro-Am entries, representing the kind of pipeline development we love to see actually working for women in motorsports.
• The series is serving up its largest grid since 2019, with nine different GT3 manufacturers represented and a new three-hour endurance format replacing the previous sprint races. Nearly half the field consists of new or returning teams, showing the championship’s growing appeal even as some established operations like DXDT Racing and Heart of Racing Team have stepped away to focus on other series.
• Porsche dominates the entry list with eight 911 GT3 Rs, led by powerhouse customer teams Wright Motorsports and Kellymoss. The Pro class features six cars including Turner Motorsport’s championship-winning duo stepping up from Pro-Am, while JMF Motorsports returns with their runner-up lineup unchanged, setting up what should be a proper battle for overall honors when the season kicks off at Sonoma Raceway on March 27-29.
