GT World Challenge America powered by AWS will get another new entry in 2027 as MG1 Motorsports has announced a two-car Ferrari 296 GT3 programme.
The team from Reno, Nevada has raced in Ferrari Challenge North America since 2005 and will bring that experience with the Prancing Horse to GT3 competition for the first time.
2022 Coppa Shell champion Michael Petramalo and 2019 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge GS champion Tyler McQuarrie will step up from Pirelli GT4 America to GT World Challenge America to drive the Pro-Am #38 Ferrari. Meanwhile, fellow Ferrari Challenge alumni Steve Check and Ken Dobson will run in the Am class aboard the #33 Ferrari.
Bobby Golasinski, Team Principal of MG1 Motorsports, said today: “Entering GT World Challenge America marks an exciting new chapter for MG1 Motorsports and a significant step forward for our team.
“We’ve assembled a talented and experienced team, with the people, resources and technical expertise to take on this new challenge. Competing with two cars across the Pro-Am and Am classes is an exciting opportunity, and our focus is on building a competitive programme from the outset.”
“What’s especially rewarding is making this move alongside drivers who have placed their trust in MG1. We’ve always taken pride in the relationships we’ve developed over the years, and we’re committed to bringing that same dedication and personal approach to our GT3 programme.”
MG1 recently completed a two-day test at Thunderhill Raceway Park to begin preparations for the 2027 season.
