🇺🇸 Dustin Blattner

Dustin Blattner is a professional endurance racing driver competing in a multiclass field that spans amateur to graded professional entrants. He races for Kessel Racing, one of the stronger operations on the GT and endurance grid, driving GT3 machinery across GT World Challenge Europe, the Asian Le Mans Series, the 24H Series and the World Endurance Championship. His FIA Bronze classification places him among amateur and gentleman drivers in sportscar racing, below the Silver and Gold grades that denote established professionals.[1]

Blattner has completed three seasons of racing on record from 2024 to 2026, with 50 starts across four series. His two race wins came in the 24H Series, a multiclass endurance championship where he claimed both victories and his only two podium finishes with Al Manar by Dragon Racing. He has been a regular presence in GT World Challenge Europe and the Asian Le Mans Series with Kessel Racing, accumulating 31 and 12 starts respectively in those single-class endurance championships. In 2026 he made his first World Endurance Championship appearance, currently sitting 24th in the points standings with more rounds still to come.[2]

Blattner runs in fields that include established professionals and former champions. He has regularly contested races alongside Lucas Auer, the 2024 GT World Challenge Europe champion and a driver with substantial experience in DTM and Formula 3, finishing consistently behind him. Against Darren Leung, the 2023 British GT champion, he has proven closely matched. He has also finished ahead of Edoardo Mortara, an elite professional with a Formula 3 Euro Series title and 91 Formula E starts, and has beaten Maro Engel, who was co-champion of GT World Challenge Europe in 2024, multiple times across their meetings.
