Marcus Amand becomes Porsche Junior 2026 with Flynt Schuring

At 19, the Franco-Finnish adds his name to a prestigious lineage of former Juniors revealed by the French Cup, including Jean-Karl Vernay, Mathieu Jaminet, Julien Andlauer, Ayhancan Güven and Alessandro Ghiretti.

After a solid run in kartingAmand started very early in car, until the FRECA in 2023 where he secured pole position ahead of Kimi Antonelli. In 2024, he made the transition to GT racing and discovered the Porsche Carrera Cup France within Schumacher CLRT. A promising first campaign concluded in 4th place overall, enhanced by four podiums, but above all by a Rookie title thanks to an impeccable end to the season (six wins in six races in the category).

In 2025, Amand confirmed his potential by challenging for the title. Pole position at Dijon, his first victory at Misano, and consistent top-three finishes: the young rider quickly established himself as the man to beat. A win at Valencia allowed him to head into the Paul Ricard finale as the championship leader. There, he secured a third victory and clinched his first PCCF title in only his second season.

Selected for the Porsche Shoot-Out alongside Paul Cauhaupé, Amand impressed during the four days of evaluation, which included simulator sessions in Cologne and track time at Estoril. Porsche Motorsport then decided to include him in the 2026 Junior program, alongside Dutchman Flynt Schuring, who had previously competed in the Carrera Cup Deutschland.

Both drivers will benefit from a one-year contract, financial support, personalized coaching, and will compete in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. I am very happy and proud to join the Porsche family “,” Amand responded. This is a major step and I can't wait to begin this new adventure. »
