The Supercars presence will be heavy at Phillip Island, with four full-timers in Broc Feeney, Jayden Ojeda, Ryan Wood and Thomas Randle, joined by three Enduro Cup co-drivers on the entry list.<\/p>\n
A strong field of Pro-Am entries will battle for outright contention, with three Trophy class cars and a sole Am entry rounding out the grid.<\/p>\n
The 17 entries are split over seven manufacturers, with Audi leading the way with five cars.<\/p>\n
Team MPC return with three cars, including a new entry for young gun Valentino Astuti and Darren Currie, making the move from 111 Racing and out of a Mercedes-AMG into an Audi R8.<\/p>\n
Among the MPC stable are reigning champions Broc Feeney and Brad Schumacher, eager to defend their crown.<\/p>\n
South Australian outfit Team BRM expand to two cars, taking on the running of the Wolfbrook entry for Supercars star Ryan Wood and Steve Brooks.<\/p>\n
Wood joins fellow Supercars driver Thomas Randle in the flagship BRM entry #268 alongside Mark Rosser, while Randle serves as an injury sub for Alex Peroni.<\/p>\n
Ferrari expands its program into the new season, with four Pracing Horses on the grid.<\/p>\n
These include a pair of returning Arise Racing GT entries of Jaxon Evans\/Elliot Schutte and Jordan Love\/Steve Wyatt.<\/p>\n
Evans and Schutte will be looking to go one better this season, having just missed the title following a late penalty in the final race of 2025.<\/p>\n
Zagame Autosport make the step to full time competition with TCR champion Josh Buchan and Ferrari Challenge graduate Cameron Campbell.<\/p>\n
Renee Gracie switches to the prancing horse, with the reigning Am class champion making the step back up to Pro-Am contention alongside two-time Bathurst winner Will Davison.<\/p>\n
Tigani Motorsport will field all four Mercedes-AMG entries in the field, plus the sole Porsche entry of Luke Youlden and Nathan Halstead.<\/p>\n
The Porsche makes up one of three Trophy class entries alongside the KFC Team MPC entry of Matt Stoupas\/Paul Stokell and Volante Rosso\u2019s Aston Martin, piloted by Alex Gardner and Lee Stibbs.<\/p>\n
Volante Rosso will also field the sole McLaren entry, with team owner Josh Hunt joining Geoff Emery.<\/p>\n
Rounding out the field is the lone Lamborghini Huracan of Wall Racing, driven by Tony D\u2019Alberto and Adrian Dietz.<\/p>\n
GT World Challenge Australia will commence this weekend at Phillip Island as part of the Shannons SpeedSeries.<\/p>\n
