🇬🇧 Mikey Porter

Mikey Porter is a British GT driver competing at professional level in endurance racing, classified by the FIA as Silver; a designation that recognises established drivers typically early in their careers within the sportscar sphere. Porter holds a Racer Rating of 4,083, placing him in the upper-middle tier of active drivers in his field. His career spans three seasons from 2024 to 2026 across two major GT championships, during which he has accumulated 17 starts with 2 wins and 7 podium finishes.[1]

Porter's breakthrough came in 2024 with the British GT Championship for Forsetti Motorsport, where he claimed 2 wins and 7 podiums across 9 starts to secure the championship. This dominant season established him as a proven winner at that level. He has since stepped up to the GT World Challenge Europe with Optimum Motorsport, a significantly stronger field. In his 8 starts there spanning 2025 and 2026, he has yet to podium, though he remains active in the series. Against his regular competitors, Porter shows a mixed head-to-head record; he has raced evenly with Zac Meakin, a fellow Silver-graded professional, and holds a slight advantage over Jack Brown, a former champion of similar grading. He consistently finishes ahead of less experienced drivers such as Sai Sanjay, but trails stronger established competitors including multiple champions and higher-rated drivers such as Erik Evans and Marco Signoretti.[2]

Notably, Porter has on occasion outpaced significantly stronger drivers; he has single race finishes ahead of world-class competitors including Platinum-graded Kamui Kobayashi and Antonio Fuoco, and four-time champion Ash Sutton. These remain isolated results rather than patterns, but they indicate Porter's occasional capacity to compete beyond his established level. His average classified finish stands at 14th place across all races. Currently active in GT World Challenge Europe with Optimum Motorsport's expanded McLaren programme, Porter continues to develop within the professional GT ranks.
