Arise Racing GT has confirmed its second Ferrari 296 GT3 for the 2025 GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS season, with Steven Wyatt making a grand return to racing alongside GT star Jordan Love.


In what will be an all-West Australian lineup, the pair will join the already-announced Jaxon Evans and Elliott Schutte at the reigning GT World Challenge Australia Sprint Cup Team Champions - completing the WA based outfit's dual charge in the highly competitive Pro-Am class.


Leading the entry will be Wyatt, who has a wealth of experience behind the wheel of a Ferrari 458 GT3 at international level having contested a number of prestigious categories, including Blancpain Endurance Series, Ferrari Challenge Europe and 24 Hours of Le Mans to name but a few, before taking a break away from the sport in 2016.


Almost a decade later, Wyatt will return to racing at a national level after working with Arise Racing and Love at a number of test days to build his confidence behind the wheel and familiarise himself with the new Ferrari 296 GT3.


As for Love, the 2019 Carrera Cup Australia champion had an enjoyable stint overseas following his title-winning season, racing in top-level international categories such as Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS, Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, and Asian Le Mans Series - many of which he contested as a Mercedes Junior Driver.


With the pair having developed a close relationship over the years as part of Love’s coaching of Wyatt, they have built a good rapport, making them a strong combination in the Pro-Am class.


The pair begin their 2025 GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS campaign at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit as part of the Shannons SpeedSeries’ GT Festival Phillip Island.

“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.”

“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.”

Jordan Oon Arise Racing GT Team Principal

“We are incredibly excited to have Steve Wyatt and Jordan Love as our second entry for the 2025 racing season,” said Oon.


“Steve has raced with Ferrari internationally for the better part of a decade, and it has been a pleasure getting him back up to speed after a few years away from the sport.


“Having a complete West Australian entry in the Pro-Am class is something we are very proud of. This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase WA talent at the highest level of GT racing in Australia.”

Reigning GT Sprint Cup champions, Arise Racing GT has submitted its first entry for this year’s GT World Challenge powered by AWS, with Elliott Schutte and Jaxon Evans committed for the full season.


The pair will reunite in the same Ferrari 296 GT3 they shared for their maiden GT World Challenge Australia season together in 2024, where they will look to build on an impressive third-place finish in the overall Sprint Cup Pro-Am standings. Both drivers enter the 2025 season with plenty of experience behind the wheel, with Evans having had successful stints in a number of highly esteemed international championships, including Intercontinental GT Challenge, Porsche Supercup and Porsche Carrera Cups Germany and France – the latter of which he won in 2020. 


The New Zealander also boasts a wealth of experience in Australia, having won Porsche Carrera Cup Australia in 2018 and contesting a number of national GT events, as well as being a current fixture in Supercars with Brad Jones Racing.
As for Schutte, his racing experience is all within Australia where he has enjoyed plenty of silverware across a range of national categories. His most notable performances came in a multi-year stint in Radical Cup Australia with his best result being second overall in 2023.


Schutte then made the big move to GT World Challenge Australia with Arise Racing GT last year, where he and Evans picked up a victory at Phillip Island, multiple podiums and a pole position for a successful year overall.
Both Schutte and Evans were behind the wheel of their Ferrari 296 GT3 for this year’s Bathurst 12 Hour, winning the Pro-Am class in the Intercontinental GT Challenge season opener alongside Alessio Rovera and Brad Schumacher.


As Australia’s sole Ferrari factory-supported GT racing team, Arise Racing GT is still in the process of locking in its second entry, with Schutte and Evans to begin their 2025 campaign at the Shannons SpeedSeries’ GT Festival Phillip Island on 4-6 April.

"I'm really excited to be heading into my second season in GT3, with Arise Racing GT and Jaxon. Jaxon and I built a strong foundation last year, and that continuity will help us push even further this season," said Schutte. "Starting the year off winning PRO-AM at the Bathurst 12 hour was an incredible experience and the whole team left with a lot of confidence. 
"I’m looking forward to carrying that momentum into the season ahead."


"It’s fantastic to be back with Arise Racing GT for my second season. Finishing third in the championship last year was a great achievement, and it’s given us a strong foundation to build on,” said Evans.


“The experience gained in 2024—both in terms of understanding the car and working closely with the team—will be invaluable as we push for even better results this season.


“One of the biggest positives last year was seeing Elliot’s massive improvement from start to finish. His development was really impressive, and as a team, that progress has given us a lot of confidence heading into 2025.


“Balancing this program with my Supercars commitments will be a fun challenge, but it’s one I’m really looking forward to. Both categories demand a lot, but I thrive on that level of competition. I feel well-prepared to take another step forward and make the most of every opportunity this season."

Arise Racing GT to return with race-winning duo for 2025

ARISE RACING GT has completed their first visit to Mount Panorama’s iconic Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour , claiming victory in the Pro-Am class in the 2025 edition of Australia’s International Enduro.

The team also finished fourth outright in the demanding race, Chaz Mostert hustling the team’s Pro entry to the lead with less than half an hour to go before a late stop for fuel. 

While Mostert, Will Brown and Daniel Serra claimed a top five finish on the team’s debut, it was Jaxon Evans, Alessio Rovera, Elliott Schutte and Brad Schumacher celebrating the Pro-Am victory at the end of the day.

The successful debut for the team proved their credentials against world championship-calibre outfits.

The race was a mixture of high drama and high speed. The first half was punctuated by Safety Car periods, and the second half by long green flag runs where a variety of fuel strategies began to take hold.

The team’s Pro car was a contender throughout the day and burst into the lead just eight laps into the race.

With Mostert anchoring and both Brown and Serra doing the mid-race heavy lifting, the squad remained within 60 seconds of the lead for almost the entire race, as teams played out the unfolding fuel strategies and battled for track position. 

Requiring one more stop than the leaders within the final hour of the race, Mostert charged for the lead late in the day and led a further eight laps before stopping to ensure the car made it home.

The Pro-Am battle was a game of cat and mouse between the Arise Racing GT #36 entry and the EMA Motorsport Porsche, the Ferrari initially gaining a lap advantage - one that only disappeared late in the race.

The quartet prevailed however to deliver the team a Pro-Am win and finish eighth outright at the line, capping off a remarkable debut performance in Australia’s longest race.

The result was just the second Pro-Am class win for Ferrari in the history of the race, backing up the two outright victories achieved by the brand.

Arise Racing GT now turns their attention to the opening round of the Fanatec GT World Challenge Australia championship, to be held at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit on 4-6 April.

Arise Racing GT would like to thank their amazing partners for their ongoing support; Lance East Exotics, VGW, Car Expert, Barbagallo Ferrari, Swisstrax, AAQ, ORAFOL, Lift Off, Unipac, OMP, Anthem Workwear and Beta Tools.

“It was a great team effort over the weekend, we have some great drivers and the team threw everything but the kitchen sink at this and came away with a great result. There are obviously things we can work on but it was an exciting race weekend all around, an amazing atmosphere in the team, and we loved every second of Bathurst.”

“It wasn't easy, but for our first ever 12-hour race to have two cars arrive home straight and we can roll them on the truck is always great. 4th outright and 1st in Pro-Am against some heavy international competition, I couldn't be happier with our guys they worked tirelessly in the lead up and throughout the race weekend, a result like this is well deserved for the team and it just gives us more and more to build on.

“That was some crazy stuff out there for my first 12 hour in a GT3 race car! I'm extremely grateful to be able to do what I do, the whole team was flawless, we even ended up doing a brake change throughout the race, and the guys did it perfectly. To come away with a win in Pro-Am is a fantastic result to start the season and I can't wait to see what this year brings.”
