Tigani Motorsport Confirms Three-Car Bathurst 12 Hour Entry With First Pro-Class AMG GT3

The expansion follows the team's new role as Mercedes‑AMG’s Australian customer racing agent.

Overview

  • The Wollongong-based squad will run three Mercedes‑AMG GT3s at the Feb. 13–15, 2026 Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour, including its maiden Pro‑class GT3 Evo targeting an outright victory bid.
  • Returning entries include the Geyer Valmont car for Marcel Zalloua and Sergio Pires and the Supabarn Mercedes‑AMG for brothers James and Theo Koundouris.
  • Tigani will announce the full driver roster for the Pro effort at a later date in conjunction with Mercedes‑AMG.
  • The team frames the campaign as redemption for the Geyer Valmont crew after their car was eliminated in an incident during the 2025 race.
  • The enlarged program is backed by recent domestic GT success and Tigani’s takeover of Mercedes‑AMG’s Australian customer racing agency from Triple Eight.
