Overview
- Riccardo Corte has been named race engineer for Kai Allen’s #26 Penrite Ford Mustang for the 2026 Supercars season.
- Corte arrives after eleven years at Ferrari, where he worked in simulation and vehicle dynamics and served as Lewis Hamilton’s performance engineer in early 2025.
- Alistair McVean moves from Allen’s race engineer to a newly created Head of Performance role focused on engineering capability, toolchain development, and vehicle dynamics.
- Team owner Stephen Grove and CEO Brenton Grove say the moves strengthen the engineering program and support sustained performance gains.
- The restructuring follows reports that team principal David Cauchi will depart, marking a broader period of personnel change at Grove Racing.
