Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup racer Yves Baltas has been confirmed with MDK Motorsports for the upcoming Porsche Carrera Cup North America season.

The 22-year-old New Yorker, who holds extensive experience of racing in Europe, will drive the No. 24 Ease Logistics-sponsored Porsche 911 GT3 Cup in the Pro class.

Last year, Baltas drove for Pierre Martinet by Almeras in Supercup competition, with his European career having started in Formula 4 in 2016.

“I’m beyond excited to be back racing in the U.S. after several years in Europe,” Baltas said.

“To come back to a championship like Porsche Carrera Cup North America is definitely something I’ve wanted to do, and this season, with such an awesome calendar, I definitely made the right decision.

“I am really looking forward to a very competitive and action-filled 2024.”

While team owner Mark Kvamme came away with the Am class championship last year, the MDK squad is looking to return to victory lane in the Pro class for the first time since 2022, when Trenton Estep won three races in series competition.

Baltas will make his debut with the Ohio-based team at the Carrera Cup North America pre-season test on March 4-5.

“Finding such a new team with so much professionalism and ambition to win is hard to find in motorsports,” he said. “Working with MDK has been a pleasure so far, and I’m feeling a strong season ahead of us.”
