Jaminet continued in ADAC GT Masters in 2018 ADAC GT Masters, this time driving for Precote Herberth Motorsport. He and teammate Robert Renauer won the championship, resulting in Jaminet earning more international race outings and a place on the North American Porsche GT Team to drive endurance races in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, as well as a chance to drive the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans. [3]

For the 2020 season, Jaminet was promoted to a full Porsche factory driver. [4] He continues to drive the North American endurance events with the Porsche GT Team, as well as participating in international GT3 events.
