Therese Lahlouh

#242 Porsche 911 GT3 R (Type 992.2) – Wright Motorsports.

Therese Lahlouh is a professional racing driver competing in the SRO GT World Challenge America, where she drives the Porsche 911 GT3 R (Type 992.2). After beginning her racing career later than most, Therese has quickly established herself as a consistent front runner in Porsche One-Make competition.

She entered motorsport in her early 30s after leaving a successful career as an event director in the restaurant industry to pursue her lifelong passion for racing. Starting at the grassroots level, she progressed rapidly through time trials and club racing before making her wheel-to-wheel debut in the Super Miata series. In 2022, she became the first female race winner in series history and earned Rookie of the Year honors.

Therese transitioned to Porsche competition soon after, achieving multiple podiums and a top-five overall finish in the 2024 Porsche Sprint Challenge North America GT3 Cup championship. In both 2024 and 2025, she was selected as a Porsche Mobil 1 Female Driver. She also broke barriers as the first African American woman to compete and podium in Porsche Sprint Challenge North America.

For the 2026 season, Therese stepped into GT3 machinery and currently competes in SRO GT World Challenge America, where she has already secured a top-five finish. She is also the only female world-wide who is professionally competing full-time in the Porsche 911 GT3 R. With a long-term goal of competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, she is committed to continuous development while inspiring others to pursue ambitious goals in motorsport and beyond.
