Former Formula 2 champion Stoneman was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2011 and spent over 12 months fighting the illness before clinching the P1 SuperStock UK powerboat title last year.
Stoneman confirmed on Friday that he will compete with the Redline Racing squad, driving a 911 GT3 Cup car.
“I thought Porsches was the way forward,” said Stoneman. “Getting advice from Tim Harvey is a great help. We’ve taken advice from people who have been there and done it.
“It is quite a physical car to drive, but I’m not struggling at all and I’m working on my fitness.”
The 22-year-old has already tested the car twice and said he is aiming to win the title in 2013.
“Our aim this year is to hopefully win the Carrera Cup and then work towards the Porsche Supercup for 2014 and 2015,” said Stoneman.
“The route I want to do now is into sports and GT cars.
“It’s a lot more money to do single-seaters and a one-in-a-million chance of getting to Formula 1.”
