The domestic motorsport scene is bracing for a thrilling season finale as top-tier GT machinery prepares to hit the streets, with reports indicating that Yasser Shahin has secured a high-profile co-driver for his upcoming campaign. Paddock insiders understand that a factory-backed standout is slated to pilot a potent Porsche 911 GT3 R alongside the local ace.
This partnership builds upon a proven collaborative history between the drivers. They previously shared driving duties at the grueling Bathurst 12 Hour endurance classic, demonstrating strong synergy and relentless pace throughout the demanding twice-around-the-clock challenge within a competitive Pro-Am driver lineup.
For Shahin, competing on home soil in Adelaide carries immense significance. Beyond the immense pride of racing in front of local fans, his deep-rooted business ties to regional motorsport facilities including The Bend and Mallala amplify the stakes for a strong performance during the grand finale weekend.

This expected appearance arrives on the heels of a stellar conclusion to his international commitments in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Piloting the Manthey Racing entry alongside rapid teammate Riccardo Pera and Porsche stalwart Richard Lietz, Shahin delivered masterclasses to secure class victories at both Monza and Barcelona.
"It is not over until it is over, and today's race proved that once again," reflected Shahin on his successful endurance campaign. "We gave absolutely everything and showed what we are capable of achieving. Winning two races this season is something I am incredibly proud of, and I am deeply grateful to the crew."
