Gilles Stadsbader
Precision, speed, and relentless determination, on and off the track.
on Track
Gilles Stadsbader is a Belgian athlete who lives and breathes competition. Born in Ypres in 2004, he took his first steps in karting at the age of seven and never looked back, working his way from the national scene to the biggest international stages of GT racing. Behind the wheel of a GT car he combines raw speed with tactical intelligence, the foundation of a winning mindset built over years of relentless preparation.
His passion for performance extends far beyond the circuit. Gilles is also an endurance athlete, competing in triathlon and trailrunning at the highest level, where the mental and physical demands form the perfect counterweight to the precision and focus that racing requires. Two worlds, one mindset: total commitment, attention to detail, and an unshakeable drive to go further.
CHASING THE LIMIT,
EVERY LAP
At 22, Gilles Stadsbader from Mouscron is one of Belgium's most exciting GT racing talents. With an FIA Silver rating and a seat at AF Corse, Ferrari's factory team for Gran Turismo competition, he races the 296 GT3 Evo against the sharpest drivers in the world.
GT racing rewards more than pure speed. It asks for consistency across long stints, precision in traffic, and the composure to deliver when a single lap decides the weekend. Gilles thrives in exactly that environment, on the most iconic circuits on the calendar. And he is only getting started.
PUSHING THE LIMIT,
EVERY KILOMETRE
Away from the circuit, Gilles races a very different clock. Long distance triathlon and trailrunning, hour after hour, from open water and mountain roads to technical trails and the biggest endurance stages in the world. It is a discipline with no slipstream and no pit wall, where the outcome comes down to preparation, pacing and the willingness to keep pushing when everything asks you to stop.
That work does not stay in the water or on the road. Endurance sport builds the engine, the focus and the mental resilience that carry straight back into the race car, and racing brings the sharpness and the hunger that carry him to the finish line. Two disciplines, one athlete, chasing the same thing from both directions.
MOMENTS THAT DEFINE ME
LATEST FROM THE TRACK
RESULTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
We led the race for almost the full 24 hours, only to lose the lead in the last few hours. A strong race and a podium on home soil in Belgium make this result one to remember.
Nice delivered one of the hardest days I have ever experienced, the result of months of unprecedented training volume. Crossing that finish line in 36th place is a performance I am truly proud of.
A second year of dominating the Italian championship, this time over the longer endurance distances in GT3. Back-to-back Italian titles confirmed that our pace and consistency were no coincidence.
A season of complete dominance in the Italian championship, with the title secured with one race to spare. In Super Trofeo Europe we were on course for the crown as well, until a penalty beyond our control took it away.
