STAUT/FORMANCE

From international karting to single-seater racing and now championship-winning success in Porsche, Karel has built a broad and solid racing foundation. He combines natural speed with a calm, analytical approach, focusing on consistency, technical understanding and close collaboration with the people around him to keep improving both driver and car.

​

In October 2025, Karel stepped into a Porsche race car for the very first time. The connection was immediate. What began as a first test soon became a clear direction for his future.

​

Just months later, at only 15 years old, Karel made his debut in the 2026 Porsche Sprint Challenge North America with Kellymoss. He opened the season with six consecutive victories and went on to claim nine wins and twelve podium finishes across thirteen races.

​

His debut season ended with the GT3 Cup Pro-Am and overall championship, making him the youngest overall  champion in Porsche GT3 Cup history.

​

More than the results themselves, the season confirmed what that first Porsche test had already suggested: this is where Karel feels at home. A racing environment built around precision, technical understanding, consistency and teamwork — and the foundation from which he now continues to build his future.
