Rutronik Racing has completed its 2026 line-up by adding a second car, which will compete in the Bronze Cup class.
Having recently announced the drivers for its full-season Lamborghini entry, the German squad has revealed that its second crew will take the wheel of a Porsche. The #97 car will be driven by Antares Au, Sven Müller and Ricardo Pera, who will compete in the five Endurance rounds. They will use the Stuttgart marque's previous-generation 911 GT3-R, rather than the Evo version being utilised by many teams this season.
Au remains in place following a strong 2025, which saw the Hong Kong driver bag a class win at Monza on his way to runner-up in Bronze Cup Endurance standings. He is also a former class winner at the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa.
Müller, meanwhile, is the reigning GT World Challenge Endurance champion, a title he won last term with Rutronik. The German ace will remain with the team and at the wheel of a 911 this year, though with the fresh objective of winning the Bronze crown.
Their line-up is completed by Italy's Riccardo Pera, who made his series debut last term by driving a Porsche for Lionspeed GP at the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa. Pera has significant experience in sportscar racing, notably in the FIA WEC, ELMS and Italian GT.
The 2026 campaign gets underway at Circuit Paul Ricard on the weekend of 11/12 April. Tickets for this and many other events – including the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa – are on sale now. Click here for more information.
