Alessandro Ghiretti

Having undergone extensive testing within the Porsche Motorsport Junior Programme Shoot-out Event at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portugal end of 2023, Ghiretti emerged victorious, beating 11 other drivers to become Porsche’s Junior driver for 2024. Hailing from Montauban in the south of France, Ghiretti inherited the passion for motor racing early in life: His father Alain contested numerous races in single-seaters; his grandfather had a penchant for historic motorsport and worked in that scene as a mechanic in his free time. The new Porsche Junior’s family gave him the backing he needed when he started racing in karts at the age of seven. Starting out in single-seaters, he raced in Formula 4, starting in Italy in 2017 before taking the South East Asian championship in 2018.

In 2021, he moved to Porsche Carrera Cup France, and also made his first Supercup appearance. After achieving fourth place overall in the first season, he improved to third in 2022, before finishing as Rookie champion and runner-up in 2023.

His first year as a Junior was already quite succesful, her positioned 5th in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup last season and is the reigning champion of the Porsche Carrera Cup Asia and Porsche Carrera Cup France.

Together with Theo Oeverhaus as the new Porsche Junior 2025 he has the support of Sascha Maassen, two-time Le Mans class winner with Porsche and winner of the prestigious Macau Grand Prix in 1994, who will support the youngsters as a coach throughout the Porsche Mobil1 Supercup season.
