PROFILE
Lachlan Evennett is rapidly establishing himself as one of Australia’s best young racing talents, progressing from Formula Ford competition in Australia to race-winning performances on the international GT4 stage — and now preparing to take the next major step of his career into the Dunlop Super2 Series.
Evennett’s rise has been built on a foundation of highly competitive junior motorsport in Australia.
Formula Ford played a major role in his development, with Evennett emerging as one of the leading young drivers in the Australian Formula Ford Championship and finishing runner-up in the 2025 national title.
With limited aerodynamic assistance and an emphasis on pure driver skill, car control, precision and racecraft, Formula Ford provided an ideal environment in which to develop the fundamentals required to progress through professional motorsport.
Those foundations soon began translating into larger and more powerful machinery.
Evennett joined Garry Rogers Motorsport for the 2025 Trans Am season, beginning a relationship with one of the most recognised teams in Australian motorsport. His performances included pole position at Mallala and multiple podium finishes, demonstrating an ability to adapt quickly to the demands of high-powered Trans Am competition.
At the same time, Evennett continued expanding his experience in GT racing.
His GT4 career has taken him across Australia, New Zealand and Europe, producing class victories and podium results while exposing the young Australian to very different cars, circuits and racing environments.
In 2026, that international program took another significant step forward with competition in Europe aboard the Toyota GR Supra GT4.
European GT4 racing introduced an entirely different challenge — professional multi-driver teams, endurance-style strategy, driver changes and some of the world's most demanding circuits.
Once again, Evennett adapted quickly.
At Circuit Zandvoort in the Netherlands, Evennett produced one of the standout results of his European campaign, finishing second in the Pro class.
Starting fifth, his combination worked its way into contention before Evennett took control of the Toyota for the second stint and delivered a composed drive to secure the podium.
The following race produced another strong result, with Evennett also receiving Rookie of the Race recognition as his European campaign continued to gather momentum.
Just one week later, his international season moved to Spain and the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia.
Competing in the second GT4 race of the Valencia Supercars Endurance round, counting towards the Iberian Supercars and Campeonato de España de Supercars championships, Evennett added another major result to his growing international résumé with victory in the GT4 Pro-Bronze class.
The result represented another important milestone.
Within the space of only a few years, Evennett had progressed from the close racing of Formula Ford in Australia to standing on GT4 podiums and winning races in Europe.
But his 2026 season is also setting the stage for another major chapter.
Garry Rogers Motorsport has selected Evennett to make his Dunlop Super2 Series debut at the 2026 bp Adelaide Grand Final, where the 18-year-old will drive a Holden ZB Commodore carrying GRM’s famous #34.
The opportunity represents an important step into the Supercars pathway and also marks Garry Rogers Motorsport’s return to the Dunlop Super2 Series for the first time since 2019.
For Evennett, it brings together the experience accumulated across Formula Ford, Trans Am and international GT racing and places him behind the wheel of one of Australian motorsport’s most demanding race cars.
His career to date has been defined by progression.
Formula Ford developed the racecraft. Trans Am introduced greater power and physicality. GT4 has taken him onto the international stage and demanded adaptability, technical understanding and teamwork.
Super2 now represents the next challenge.
Still only at the beginning of his professional racing career, Evennett is already building experience across an unusually broad range of machinery and competition.
From Australia to New Zealand and Europe, from Formula Ford to GT4 victories and now the Supercars development pathway, the trajectory continues to move forward.
Lachlan Evennett is no longer simply emerging as a young driver with potential. He is building the experience, results and international record required for the next level of professional motorsport.
