Camm Quarries and Concrete Speedy Motorsport driver Lachlan Evennett has scored a stunning second place podium on debut in Race 1, of Round 1, of the 2026 European GT4 Series at the picturesque French circuit of Paul Ricard.

Evennett has been signed by Toyota Racing Europe Customer team Speedy Motorsports to compete in the 2026 European GT4 Series in the Silver-Silver class in a Toyota Supra GT4 EVO 2.

Evennett was the only Australian in the star studded European field.

Half way through the race, co-driver Mees Houben handed the car across to Evennett from sixth place and the Australian then charged into the podium places before hunting down Papadopulos and making a fine pass for second into turn one late on.

The young Queenslander is certainly not overawed by world class circuits.

This weekend saw Evennett go from competing at Phillip Island - to Bathurst - to the south of France at Paul Ricard - in 3 consecutive weeks.

The 2026 European GT Championship calendar in 2026 will involve racing at Circuit Paul Ricard, Monza, Spa-Francorchamps, Misano, Zandvoort and Portimao with Lachlan having done pre-season winter testing with Speedy Motorsports.

Lachlan will split his time between Europe and Australia/NZ in 2026 due to his various racing commitments across TRANSAM, GT4 Australia and GT4 New Zealand.

Since 2017 the GT4 European Series has been the premier feeder series to the GT World, featuring huge grids, thrilling door-to-door racing and stars of the future. All GT4 European Series events this season form an integral part of GT World weekends, meaning the series benefits from competing in front of the world’s biggest brands, best teams and hundreds of thousands of spectators across the year.

The grid this year includes drivers from 22 different nationalities and supercars from 10 manufacturers; Audi, Aston Martin, BMW, Ford, Ginetta, Lotus, McLaren, Mercedes-AMG, Porsche and Toyota GR.

In addition to racing the Toyota Supra GT4 EVO 2 in the 2026 European GT4 Series , Lachlan has already debuted a new Toyota Supra GT4 EVO 2 competing in Monochrome GT4 Australia (with the new car run by Brett Francis of BF Racing) in the Silver-Am class with Andrew Torti (2025 AFFS 1600 champion) as his Bronze Am driver and has also competed in the Summerset GT New Zealand Championship with Racelab NZ sharing driver duties with Glen Chappel in the Toyota Supra GT4 EVO 2 as part of the Repco NextGen NZ Championship.
