Gus Burton Joins Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup

Up and coming British racing driver Gus Burton kicked off his 2025 racing season in the prestigious Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, viewed in the sport as the international pinnacle of the Porsche one-make series.

Burton is one of only two British drivers competing in the series this season and is proud to be representing the UK on the international stage racing for Team Proton Huber Competition.

In 2021 Burton won the British GT4 Championship and has also competed and won multiple races in the Porsche Carrera Cup. He was appointed a member of the British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC) in 2023 and brings his proven track record to the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup this season, which will be a fresh challenge for the talented driver, who commented:

“I’m thrilled to be on the Supercup grid this year. The level of competition is incredibly high, but that’s what drives me. Imola was a great way to kick off the season, and there’s still work to do. I’m proud of the fight and excited for what’s ahead.”
