Junior single-seater stars Maceo Capietto and Callum Voisin have secured their racing futures with the backing of two of Porsche’s national divisions.
The pair have earned Porsche Carrera Cup junior driver status in the French and British championships respectively, with Voisin signed by Porsche GB on a two-year deal.
Capietto, 19, came third in French Formula 4 as a car racing rookie in 2021 then has been primarily racing in the Formula Regional European Championship since then. He came 22nd in his rookie campaign, was eighth in 2023 with one podium then returned to the paddock for two rounds this season.
In 2024 and ’25 he also raced prototype sportscars in the European Le Mans Series’ LMP2 class, coming eighth and ninth in his two campaigns.
Earlier this month, he was one of eight drivers who Porsche Carrera Cup France invited to Paul Ricard to contest a shootout to earn junior driver backing for 2026. French F4 racer Malo Bolliet and Dylan Estre, a race-winner in the Ultimate Cup Series’ Formula Cup for FRegional cars, were also finalists and they were assessed on and off-track extensively.
“Becoming a Porsche Carrera Cup France junior driver is a fantastic opportunity,” said Capietto.
“Joining this championship in this role will definitely allow me to showcase my abilities and be at the forefront. The two days at Paul Ricard were very intense. I gave it my all. I know that winning this selection will be a great help for my future. Now it’s up to me to give my best and try to climb the Porsche pyramid with the support of Porsche France.”
Voisin heads to Porsche Carrera Cup GB after two years in the FIA Formula 3 Championship with Rodin Motorsport. The 19-year-old came 12th in 2024, winning a feature race from pole, taking another feature race podium but only scoring in three rounds. This year he slipped to 14th in the standings, and had one feature race podium to his name.
When he graduated from karting in 2021, Voisin competed in entry-level sportscar series Ginetta Junior and was sixth in the standings. The British-Swiss driver then spent two seasons in GB3 with Carlin, winning three races in 2022 and taking the title a year later.
There were four finalists in Porsche GB’s selection process, with drivers testing at Silverstone then doing off-track work including physical and feedback assessments. A prize fund of £85,000 per season accompanies the junior driver status.
