The grid for the upcoming Tigani Motorsport campaign has undergone a strategic shift as the team finalizes its driver pairing for the season-ending Adelaide round. With Jayden Ojeda fully occupied by his high-stakes Supercars commitments alongside PremiAir Racing, the squad needed a proven endurance specialist to step into the #66 Mercedes-AMG GT3 alongside Paul Lucchitti for the demanding street circuit challenge.
The newly appointed stand-in driver arrives with extensive experience from international GT racing arenas, bringing valuable setup knowledge regarding aero balance and mid-corner stability to the garage. Having previously shared the cockpit during endurance outings such as the Bathurst 12 Hour alongside fellow international competitors, the incoming driver is thoroughly prepared to handle the unforgiving concrete walls of the Adelaide parklands layout.
Reflecting on the unexpected opportunity, the driver expressed profound enthusiasm regarding the upcoming weekend. "Firstly, I am very excited to race in Adelaide with Tigani Motorsport," the driver stated. Elaborating further on the challenge ahead, the newcomer added, "It will be my first time racing there, and a bit of a lifelong dream too. I appreciate the faith in me that the whole Tigani group has shown. I have big shoes to fill taking over from Jayden and I will give it everything to make sure Paul finishes the year on a high note."
The stakes could not be higher for Lucchitti, who remains mathematically in contention for the coveted GT World Challenge Australia Pro-Am title. Currently sitting 40 points adrift of championship leader Brad Schumacher, every single braking marker and apex hit during practice sessions will dictate whether the team can close the mathematical gap in the final standings.
Paddock intrigue continues to surround the remaining vacant seats on the grid as teams prepare their final driver rosters. With multiple stand-in announcements anticipated for other prominent entries, the season finale promises intense tactical battles across both qualifying sessions and the main endurance races.
