Kiwi racing driver Madeline Stewart has confirmed that she will be back with JDX Racing for another thrilling season in Porsche Carrera Cup North America. This marks her second year in the series and third overall with the team.
Stewart’s journey with JDX Racing began in 2023, competing in Porsche Sprint Challenge North America. There, she quickly made her mark, securing an impressive third-place finish in the 992 class.
This success propelled her to the even more challenging Porsche Carrera Cup Championship in 2024. While her initial races were marked by steady learning, she later showed great promise. Her first points came at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in June, and a breakthrough seventh-place finish at Road America marked her first top-ten result. This momentum continued, with six points finishes in the final seven races, ultimately earning her a commendable 15th place overall.
Building on this foundation, Stewart enters the 2025 season aiming for greater success. Leveraging her experience and the strong bond with JDX Racing, she’s ready to elevate her performance. She also continues her participation in the Porsche Mobil 1 Female Driver Program this season.
“I’m incredibly excited to be back with JDX Racing,” Stewart shared. “Last season was a crucial learning experience— mastering the car, the tracks, and the intense competition. Now, we’re setting ambitious goals, striving for consistent competitiveness every weekend. Having raced at every track on the calendar, I’m incredibly well-prepared. The team’s hard work this off-season has been inspiring, and I’m confident we have what it takes to achieve significant progress.”
Stewart will start her 2025 campaign with the crucial pre-season test at Sebring International Raceway in early March. The official season opener will follow with a doubleheader at Sebring from March 12-14, supporting the IMSA 12 Hours of Sebring.
