Arise Racing GT will return to the Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour next February, following a successful debut at the race in 2025 for the Ferrari squad.
The Perth-based team finished fourth with its Pro-entered 296 GT3, which led deep into the final hour before needing to pit for fuel, whilst the sister car won the Pro-Am class in eighth overall.
This was then followed up by a strong campaign in GT World Challenge Australia, where Arise finished second in both the teams’ and Pro-Am drivers’ championships. The team missed out on the titles by a combined total of only ten points, after Jaxon Evans and Elliott Schutte won four races.
“With a year’s worth of knowledge and such a strong Bathurst 12 Hour debut of course we had to come back in 2026,” Team Principal Jordan Oon said.
“To come away with a class win and challenge for the outright victory in our first year, and the first time the Ferrari 296 GT3 had ever tackled the 12-Hour, was an incredible outcome for us as a new team.
“Since then, we have continued to learn and develop and make our team better so we will return to Bathurst with confidence that we can build on what we achieved in 2025.”
Further details about Arise Racing GT’s assault on the 12 Hour, including drivers, will be announced at a later date.
The 2026 Bathurst 12 Hour will be held on the weekend of 13–15 February 2026.
