The new i4Race team will make its GT2 European Series powered by Pirelli debut this year, with Antoine Potty also chasing glory in the SRO GT Academy contest.
The Belgian team, which has extensive experience in rallying, will make the move into GT racing this year with a new Maserati GT2, with Belgian star Potty set to share the machine in the Pro-Am class with a soon-to-be-confirmed team-mate.
Potty, 22, has built impressive experience of racing GT cars since making the switch from karting in 2020. He has been a multiple race winner in the GT4 European Series, finishing second in the 2021 Silver standings.
He made his GT3 debut in 2025, stepping up to the GT World Challenge Europe in a Comtoyou Racing Aston Martin and will now switch across into GT2.
Potty will be eligible for the new SRO GT Academy contest, which will reward one Silver-graded driver aged under 30 with a fully funded (excluding crash damage) seat with a Mercedes-AMG Customer Team for the full 2027 GT World Europe Endurance Cup.
The i4Race Maserati GT2 will wear a distinctive new livery designed by Vanuf Art Design and news on Potty’s team-mate will be shared soon.
i4Race said in a statement: "The SRO GT Academy represents an exceptional opportunity for the emergence of young talents, offering an incredible prize at stake. This approach resonates particularly strongly with i4Race’s core values, as nurturing the next generation aligns exactly with the mission we carry as a team. A season in the GT World Challenge Europe is a real chance we have no intention of letting slip by. Our team is motivated and our goal is clear: to win.”
