Lachlan Evennett, Lachlan Evennett Racing quote:
“There is no doubt that 2026 will be a big year and I am really looking forward to getting into it. Exploring a different category in GT4 with the Toyota brand will be awesome and having the opportunity to race the GT4 category internationally in New Zealand and Europe alongside Australia will bring me to many circuits that I have not been to previously.
Racing in the highly competitive European GT4 Series is an exciting opportunity to showcase my skills and race on some very well known race circuits. My focus this year will also be on Trico Trans Am Australia, with the Garry Rogers Motorsport team.
Coming off 2025 on a high in Trico Trans Am has given me lots of confidence to go fight for more podiums, poles and race wins all on a stacked calendar in 2026 in GT4 and Trans Am including races at Perth, Ipswich, Darwin and especially Phillip island which I’m excited to return to. A total of 20 + race weekends will only help with developing my racing in 2026.
A special thank you to all my 2025 sponsors who have come on again in 2026 to support my racing across all categories.”
Pedro Salvador, Speedy Motorsports quote;
"We couldn’t be more pleased to welcome Lachlan to the Speedy Motorsport team for our presence in the GT4 European Series.
It is both a great responsibility and a strong source of motivation to support Lachlan in his first season on European circuits.
From our very first contact, he showed the right mindset — focused, positive and highly committed.
We are looking forward to starting this new chapter together and taking on this exciting challenge."
