Gilles Stadsbader is a Belgian professional-level sportscar driver competing in GT World Challenge Europe for AF Corse since 2024. Classified as FIA Silver, he sits in the early-career segment of professional endurance racing. His Racer Rating of 4,335 places him in the lower-middle tier of an active professional field; he has made 20 starts across three seasons with no wins or podium finishes, averaging a classified position of 23rd.[1]
Stadsbader has raced consistently against front-running GT professionals, most notably sharing 19 races each with Platinum-graded champions Maro Engel, Charles Weerts, and Lucas Auer, finishing behind all three in every encounter. Against Patric Niederhauser, also Platinum-graded, he has managed three finishes ahead across 19 meetings. His most competitive head-to-head records come against drivers closer to his own level; he finished ahead of Aurelien Panis (a fellow Silver-graded professional) in 12 of 18 races, and of Jordan Pepper (Gold-graded) in 2 of 18. Notably, he has on single occasions finished ahead of substantially stronger drivers including Lance Stroll and Kamui Kobayashi, both Platinum-graded champions, though these remain isolated results rather than patterns.
Stadsbader spent 14 of his 20 starts with Team WRT, a successful GT operation with 89 wins in its record, though his presence has not yielded individual podiums. He remains active in 2026, continuing his development in the GT World Challenge Europe grid.
