Peroni Returns to BRM Audi for Queensland Round

Alex Peroni will make his return to GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS competition in next week’s Queensland round following an injury layoff.

After skipping the first two rounds of the 2026 campaign at Phillip Island and The Bend Motorsport Park due to a broken wrist, Peroni will take up his regular seat alongside Mark Rosser aboard Team BRM’s No. 268 Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II on June 13-14.

It will mark Peroni’s first race outing since the Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour in February.

Taking his place alongside Rosser since then has been Australian Supercars regular Thomas Randle, the pair scoring three podium finishes from the opening four races of the year to sit fourth in the drivers’ standings heading to Queensland.

“It’s great to be back,” said Peroni. “There was definitely a period where things were a bit uncertain with my recovery, so to be recovering well and returning for Queensland is really exciting.

“We’ve had some strong results at Queensland Raceway over the past couple of years, so I’m looking forward to getting back in the car with Mark and the BRM team again.

“The team has started the season really strongly and BRM has continued to grow, so it’ll be great to come back into a really competitive environment. Having more data and experience around the team this year is only going to help us continue developing the car and improving ourselves as drivers.

“Mark has been performing consistently all season and Tom did a fantastic job stepping in earlier this year, so hopefully we can continue that momentum this weekend.

“Queensland was probably our strongest circuit last year, so I’m feeling confident heading back there, even though I haven’t been in the car since Bathurst. I’m sure it won’t take too long to get back up to speed.

“Qualifying is always critical in this category because overtaking can be so difficult, so I know I’ll need to be on the pace straight away. But overall, I’m feeling confident heading into the weekend.”
