Overview
- The #911 “Grello” Porsche 911 GT3 R will race in GTD Pro with Thomas Preining, Ricardo Feller and Klaus Bachler.
- The #912 will compete in GTD with Ryan Hardwick, Riccardo Pera and Morris Schuring, with Richard Lietz added for the 24 Hours of Daytona.
- Manthey’s 2026 plan covers only the IMSA Endurance Cup rounds at Daytona, Sebring, Watkins Glen, Road America and Petit Le Mans.
- Reporting notes no clashes between those IMSA dates and the 2026 DTM calendar, making dual programs feasible in principle, though DTM lineups remain unconfirmed.
- The move follows Manthey’s 2025 WEC success with a Le Mans LMGT3 win and the drivers’ title for Lietz, Hardwick and Pera, and the team indicates it also plans two WEC entries in 2026.
