Morris Schuring GT Racing Driver Profile: The Dutch Le Mans Class Winner Leading at Home in 2026
Morris Schuring was nineteen years old when he won his class at Le Mans. Two years on, the Dutchman is 21, he races the number 2 Boutsen VDS Porsche 911 GT3 R in GT World Challenge Europe, and on Friday at Zandvoort he put it on top of the times in front of a home crowd. Born in Den Dolder on 20 February 2005, he has gone from the Porsche one-make ladder to a works-standard GT career in about five seasons, and he has done it without the single-seater detour that most of his generation takes.

Morris Schuring Career Highlights
His record is a Porsche record almost from the start. After karting in 2019 and a season in the BMW M240i Cup in 2020, he moved into Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, finishing eighth with GP Elite in 2021 and sixth with SSR Huber Racing in 2022.
The breakthrough came in 2023 with Fach Auto Tech, when he became the youngest race winner in the history of Porsche Carrera Cup Germany at the Sachsenring, and added two victories in the Porsche Supercup on top of it. That is the season that turned him from a promising one-make driver into a name Porsche wanted in its GT programme.
2024: A Class Win at Le Mans, in the First Year of LMGT3
In 2024 he raced the full FIA World Endurance Championship season with Manthey EMA, sharing the Porsche 911 GT3 R with Richard Lietz and Yasser Shahin. At the 24 Hours of Le Mans they won the LMGT3 class, which made them the first crew to do so, because 2024 was the category’s debut year. The crew finished the season second in the LMGT3 standings with 105 points from eight races.
Winning a class at Le Mans at nineteen is the kind of line that follows a driver for the rest of a career. In 2025 he added a season in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters with the Manthey Junior Team, which is a very different discipline and a useful one: sprint races, standing starts, and no co-driver to hide behind.
2026: Boutsen VDS and a Home Weekend at Zandvoort
For 2026 he joined Boutsen VDS, sharing the number 2 Porsche with Dorian Boccolacci in the Sprint Cup and with Boccolacci and Alessio Picariello in the Endurance Cup. The season has been uneven rather than slow. A second place in Race 1 at Brands Hatch in May is the podium, fourth at Monza and eighth in the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa are the other results worth having, and Misano in the spring was a weekend to forget.
September 2026: An Overall Win at the Nurburgring
A week before Zandvoort he won outright at the Nurburgring. Schuring shared the number 44 Falken Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R with Tim Heinemann in NLS9, a four hour race that the rain turned over twice. He took the car into the lead from pole and was twelve seconds clear after four laps, and after the lead had changed hands three more times Heinemann brought it home 38.813 seconds ahead of the Dunlop Motorsport Porsche. Our report is in Falken wins a rain-hit NLS9.
Zandvoort, a Week Later
In the second free practice session on Friday 18 September he lapped in 1m34.450s, nearly two tenths clear of title contender Ricardo Feller, at a circuit where the field is normally covered by a single second. It is only practice, and at Zandvoort qualifying decides almost everything, but it was the fastest anyone went all weekend to that point. We covered both sessions in our report on Friday practice at Zandvoort.
His younger brother Flynt is on the same entry list, making his series debut in the number 89 Lionspeed GP Porsche, and he led the Silver Cup in the opening session. The full field is in our Zandvoort entry list.
