Porsche Junior Driver: Alessandro Ghiretti
Alessandro Ghiretti has the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup title in his sights this year, continuing his charge with the backing of the Porsche Junior programme.
Having undergone extensive testing within the Porsche Motorsport Junior Programme Shoot-out Event at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portugal late last year, Ghiretti emerged victorious, beating 11 other drivers to become Porsche’s Junior driver for 2024.
The 22-year-old Frenchman is the reigning Rookie champion of the series, and also finished as runner-up in the Porsche Carrera Cup France last season.
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.
