Boutsen VDS has completed its plans for the 2026 GT World season by confirming that Gilles Magnus, Robin Knutsson and Alessandro Ghiretti will share its #10 Porsche. The Belgian squad had previously announced its full Pro line-up and the news that both cars will be backed by D'Ieteren Luxury Performance.
The #10 machine will compete in the Gold Cup with former class champion Magnus leading the line. The experienced Belgian moves across from Saintéloc Racing and has also represented Team WRT and Comtoyou Racing in GT World.
Knutsson is set to make his series debut after finishing as runner-up in last season's Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux. The 23-year-old Swede cut his teeth in TCR Scandinavia in 2021 and has since been a regular in one-make Porsche racing. He and Magnus will run the full campaign, including a run at Gold Cup title in Sprint.
In Endurance, they will be joined by highly rated French driver Alessandro Ghiretti. The 24-year-old is the defending Porsche Supercup champion and won Porsche Carrera Cup titles in France and Asia in 2024. He made his GT World debut in last year's finale at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Boutsen VDS announced its Pro line-up last month. Porsche factory driver Dorian Boccolacci will run the full campaign, marking his return to Europe after a successful season in GT World Asia, with Alessio Picariello and Morris Schuring joining for Endurance Cup rounds. The same two drivers will partner Boccolacci in the Sprint Cup, depending on their respective availability.
The 2026 GT World season gets underway at Circuit Paul Ricard on the weekend of 11/12 April, preceded by the official Prologue on 8/9 April. The opening Sprint Cup contest will take place at Brands Hatch on 2/3 May. Tickets for both of these events and others – including the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa – are on sale now.
