UFI renews its support for British driver Harry King for the 2026 season, continuing a partnership that began in 2023 and is built on shared values of determination, performance, and continuous improvement. The company will once again stand alongside King as he takes on a demanding international racing calendar across Europe and the United States.
For 2026, Harry King is set to compete in a high-profile endurance program, racing on some of the world’s most iconic circuits. The new season marks a further step in a collaboration that has already delivered strong sporting results and growing international visibility.
“I’m delighted to share my position as a Porsche Contracted driver for 2026 and beyond,” said Harry King. “It’s been an ambition and goal of mine to achieve, and to compete at the highest level of GT racing. Measuring yourself up against the best manufacturers and drivers globally is an exciting challenge.”
A global endurance challenge
King will take part in two of the world’s leading endurance competitions: the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship in North America and the European Le Mans Series (ELMS).
The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship is widely regarded as North America’s top endurance racing series for prototype and GT cars, featuring legendary events such as the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Alongside his US campaign, King will compete in selected ELMS rounds—one of Europe’s most prestigious endurance championships and a key pathway to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
A driver on the rise
The 2026 season continues Harry King’s steady rise in international GT and endurance racing. After early success in Porsche one-make championships, the British driver has progressively built experience at higher levels of competition, developing strong capabilities in GT3 machinery and endurance race formats.
“Supporting Harry King means supporting a young talent who embodies our core values of passion, determination, and the relentless pursuit of excellence,” said Irene Carraro, Group Aftermarket Marketing Manager at UFI Filters. “Motorsport represents a natural environment for UFI, where performance, innovation and reliability come together—both on and off the track.”
Looking ahead
With a 2026 program spanning both Europe and the United States, the partnership enters a new, more international phase, strengthening UFI’s presence in some of the most competitive and technologically advanced motorsport arenas, in line with the Group’s long-standing racing heritage.
