Defending champion team Arise Racing GT has announced that Steve Wyatt and Jordan Love will pilot its second Ferrari 296 GT3 entry for the upcoming GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS season.
Wyatt and Love will team up at the wheel of the West Australia-based squad’s No. 77 car beginning with this week’s season opener at Phillip Island.
They complete the two-car stable for Arise, which had already announced Jaxon Evans and Elliott Schutte as the drivers for its No. 26 Ferrari earlier in the month.
Wyatt is making his return to racing having last been active in 2016, prior to which he made an appearance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans sharing an AF Corse-run Ferrari 458 GTE with Michele Rugolo and Sam Bird in 2014.
“I’m pleased to be back on the grid this year with Arise Racing GT after some time away from the seat,” said Wyatt.
“It’s been great to drive again and get accustomed to the latest-spec Ferrari GT3, which is quite different from the 458 I was racing previously.
“The team has been fantastic to work with, and I look forward to building momentum as the season progresses.”
Love meanwhile returns to Australian competition full-time after a spell racing as a Mercedes-AMG Junior driver in a variety of categories, including the European and Asian GTWC series and the Asian Le Mans Series, where he won two races.
“I am thrilled to join Arise Racing and Steve Wyatt for the 2025 GT World Challenge Australia season,” said Love. “To be asked to join the reigning championship team and to be driving a Ferrari 296 is special and an opportunity you can’t say no to.
“Apart from the Bathurst 12 Hour, I haven’t raced in Australia since I left at the beginning of 2020, so it’s incredibly exciting to be back racing on home soil.
“I’ve known Steve for years, and he’s always been supportive and attentive to my career. Now, sharing a car with him and helping him make a comeback to motorsport after eight years on the sidelines is an opportunity I’m incredibly grateful for.
“I can’t wait to get started and experience the Ferrari’s capabilities.”
