Aaron Love Replaces Brother Jordan for Queensland

Aaron Love will take over the seat vacated by his brother Jordan for next weekend’s Queensland Raceway round of the GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS.

The younger Love brother, 23, will partner Steve Wyatt aboard the No. 77 Arise Racing GT Ferrari 296 GT3 for the two one-hour races that make up the third round of the season.

It follows Aaron’s split with the Blanchard Racing Team in Supercars following the opening round of the Australian series in Sydney.

Jordan will instead be competing in the clashing Buriram round of the GT World Challenge Asia powered by AWS with Johor Motorsports Racing.

“It’s a really nice feeling to be going racing again after a couple months away from a racetrack,” said the younger Love. “To be doing it with Steve and the whole team at Arise in a Ferrari makes it a pretty cool weekend back I must say. 

“I’ve known most of the team and Steve for quite some time now, so it’s been a nice warm welcome back coming into the round.

“Steve has done the first two rounds now with my brother so I think he’s getting nice and comfortable with the car and I’ll be there to help him continue along that path. 

“For myself, it’s my first weekend in the car so it might take a little bit of adjusting from what I’ve been driving the last couple of years, but I think we should get the ball rolling once we get stuck into the weekend.

“It’s been a difficult year so far for me with my racing in general so I’m just really looking forward to going racing and having fun again, I get to do it in a pretty cool car and some really good people around me so I think it should be a good weekend.”

Together with Love’s elder brother Jordan, Wyatt has picked up a best finish of sixth so far this season in the opening race of the campaign at Phillip Island.

The sister No. 26 Arise Ferrari shared by Jaxon Evans and Elliott Schutte heads to Queensland leading the championship with three wins from the first four races, including a double last time out at Sydney Motorsport Park.
