Ex-Velocity Magazine Media Driver, Madeline Stewart will be making her first start in Porsche Carrera Cup North America at the 2024 opening round at Sebring International Raceway this week. The promotion to Carrera Cup comes after securing 3^rd place overall in the 2023 Porsche Sprint Challenge Series las year.  

Madeline will be looking for a strong to opening her Carrera Cup campaign. Last year she qualified on pole at Sebring, her first ever race in the USA, and secured the first of 12 podium finishes for the year.  

“I am under no illusions of how big the step will be up to Carrera Cup. There are a lot of very fast experienced drivers, but I am looking forward to the challenge,” said Madeline. 

“We had a somewhat challenging test last week where we struggled to optimise the set up on the car. I am confident that we found what we were looking for in the last session so have a good base to build on for the racing’. 

Madeline will again be racing with JDX Racing who, this year, will field a team of international drivers. The 2022 championship winning team has secured drivers from the UK, Canada, the USA and of course New Zealand.  

“2024 is without a doubt the most ambitious Carrera Cup program we have put together, and for that, I want to thank all of our drivers, their sponsors, every member of our team, and our incredible partners,” said Jeremy Dale – JDX Racing Managing Partner 

“Every year we strive to assemble a strong group of drivers, and this year we have hit it out of the park. Each one of our drivers can stand on the podium, that much I am certain of – and I already know the chemistry under the tent is going to be incredible.”
