Circuit Zolder, September 1, 2025 — Yannick and Ayrton Redant, Kobe De Breucker, Kenneth Heyer, and Dylan Pereira have claimed victory in the 47th edition of the 24 Hours of Zolder. Behind the wheel of the RedAnt Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup – Type 992, the East Flemish squad delivered a flawless performance. Already by Saturday evening, the quintet had carved out a decisive lead, and by Sunday afternoon their advantage had grown to five laps. With this success, Porsche secured its 21st win in the demanding Belgian endurance race. D’Ieteren Luxury Performance by NGT finished runner-up with their Porsche 911 GT3 Cup – Type 992, driven by Laurens Vanthoor, Bertrand Baguette, Cédric Wauters, Glenn Van Parijs, and Robin Knutsson, while 35,000 fans enjoyed one of the most successful editions of the Limburg classic. 


The event became a Porsche showcase: cars from the Stuttgart marque filled the top seven positions, with eight Porsche 911 GT3 Cup – Type 992 entries inside the top ten. Pole position had already gone to the brand thanks to Dylan Pereira’s blistering qualifying lap on Thursday in the RedAnt Racing machine. The race itself started on Saturday at 4:00 PM and quickly evolved into a head-to-head between RedAnt Racing and D’Ieteren Luxury Performance by NGT. Their #15 and #92 cars staged the early fight, the latter also featuring FIA WEC world champion Laurens Vanthoor and his teammate Kévin Estre.

“But our race wasn’t about outright speed,” explained Ayrton Redant. “It was the different strategy we applied that made the difference.” 


That strategy worked to perfection: the RedAnt entry gradually stretched its advantage, lap after lap. By Sunday afternoon, the gap had become insurmountable. “We must admit they were the better team this year,” acknowledged Bertrand Baguette. “They executed their race perfectly and fully deserved the win.” 


With second place, the #15 Porsche of D’Ieteren Luxury Performance by NGT scored valuable points in the fight for the Porsche Endurance Trophy Benelux title.

Completing the podium was the Q1 Trackracing entry of Saelens-Saelens-Zaenen-Dejonghe-Latorre, who fought back from an early incident that cost them five laps. Thanks to consistent pace and sharp strategy, the North Limburg team salvaged a strong third place, ten laps adrift of the winners. 


Fourth place went to Belgium Racing’s #98 Porsche of Cool-Verheyen-Bertels-Gräper, while the VR Racing by NGT Porsche of Dirk Van Rompuy, Tom Van Rompuy, Kévin Estre, Jonny Edgar, and Lars Kern completed the top five.

Notably, Juna-Jane De Keersmaecker finished as the highest-placed female driver in the overall classification.
