**BREAKING NEWS: Real Madrid Star Thibaut Courtois Sets Sights on Owning F2 Team and Racing in GT3**

 

In a surprising twist that blends the worlds of elite football and high-octane motorsport, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has revealed ambitious plans to delve deeper into racing by owning a Formula 2 team while simultaneously pursuing a personal career in GT3 racing.

Courtois, widely regarded as one of the top goalkeepers in the world, has long been a fan of motorsport. But in recent months, his passion for racing has shifted from a hobby to a serious endeavor. Sources close to the Belgian international confirmed that he is in advanced discussions with investors and motorsport professionals to form a competitive F2 outfit, with hopes of joining the FIA Formula 2 Championship grid within the next two seasons.

 

“I’ve always loved the thrill of racing,” Courtois said in a recent interview. “Now that I’ve had more time to explore the sport beyond the simulator and into real-world track experiences, I’ve started thinking seriously about building something meaningful. Motorsport is about precision, discipline, and mental strength—traits that have defined my football career and translate well into racing.”

 

Courtois, 33, has already participated in several professional sim racing events and has even tested GT3 cars in private sessions. He is believed to be targeting entry into the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe or similar series, possibly as early as 2026. His commitment is evident: he’s been working with driving coaches, fitness experts, and engineers to prepare for the rigors of endurance racing.

 

The F2 team project, however, is even more ambitious. Formula 2 is the final stepping stone before Formula 1, featuring some of the most competitive young drivers in the world. By investing in a team at this level, Courtois aims not only to promote fresh talent but to build a sustainable racing operation with the long-term potential to climb the motorsport ladder.

 

“I want to create a team that gives young drivers a real shot at making it to F1,” Courtois added. “There’s so much talent out there that never gets a proper chance due to lack of resources or support. I’ve been fortunate in football and I want to give back by creating new opportunities in another sport I love.”

 

Industry insiders suggest that Courtois has already consulted with key figures in motorsport, including representatives from F2 and major car manufacturers, to structure the team’s foundation. If successful, he would join a growing list of athletes—including NFL and NBA stars—who are investing in motorsports.

 

Though still under contract with Real Madrid and recovering from a long-term knee injury, Courtois appears to be laying the groundwork for his post-football career with methodical precision.

Whether he ends up lifting another Champions League trophy or a GT3 racing medal, one thing is certain: Thibaut Courtois is not content with life on the sidelines. He’s gearing up for a new kind of competition—one measured not by clean sheets, but b

y checkered flags.
