Gianmaria Bruni

Works drivers

Gianmaria Bruni has waited a long time for this: On 2 July in Watkins Glen, the Italian contested his first race for Porsche with the 911 RSR. The six-hour classic in the USA represented a new chapter in his already successful career, which includes victories and titles in the world’s most important sports car championships. His greatest successes of recent years include victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours in 2014, victory in the Sports Car World Endurance Championship WEC in 2013 and 2014 as well as winning the title in the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup (2011, 2012) and the GT Open (2012). He also won the Sebring 12 Hours in 2010, and the 24 Hours of Spa in 2015. “It’s a big challenge for me to switch to such a strongly supported series like the IMSA SportsCar Championship with a new car in the middle of the season,” said the new Porsche works driver. “However, I’m very grateful for this chance and I’ll do everything to achieve successes with Porsche as soon as possible.”
