Jöge, typically on-site at Winter Series events in his organisation and sales roles, will step behind the wheel of the Cup X class Porsche at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo. These will be his first-ever GT races.
The 29-year-old began his journey towards car racing on simulators, becoming a well-regarded and fast competitor. He also competed on two wheels, in Motocross. Having driven road cars extensively on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the same venue was the natural place to pursue the goal of racing cars. He did this through the Rundstrecken-Challenge Nürburgring (RCN) series, whose events are a gateway to the NLS and Nürburgring 24 Hours.
Jöge remarked that the step into the GT Winter Series is a “dream-to-reality” experience, and added: “Being part of this starting grid is completely new territory. The opportunity means a great deal to me! Without trust, support, and the right people by my side, this step wouldn’t be possible.”
The Equipe Vitesse Porsche will use the #147 starting number, which the Siegen-based competitor also carried in Motocross.
The Equipe Vitesse team is a regular presence at GEDLICH Racing events, and competes in a broad array of GT competitions. The team, founded by Andreas Herbst and run by his daughter Jil, won the 2025 Spezial Tourenwagen Trophy championship, along with GT Winter Series regular Kenneth Heyer. The team also competed in the NLS and the Nürburgring 24 Hour throughout the season, in the flagship SP9 classes for GT3-spec cars.
The GT Winter Series event at Valencia is set to feature deluxe entry far exceeding 30 cars, on a weekend featuring a huge variety of on-track and off-track action. Spanish automotive festival ROOW will take over the paddock with incredible display cars, live music and stands showcasing exciting automotive products. On-track, the GT Winter Series will be joined by the GT4 Winter Series, Formula Winter Series and the new Sports Prototype Winter Series. As always, all of the racing action will be streamed live and free on the Winter Series YouTube channel.
