Overview
- Tsunami RT confirmed on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, that it has lodged an entry for the Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour set for February 11–14, 2027.
- The team’s 2026 debut ended when Johannes Zelger spun approaching Forrest’s Elbow and was struck by the race‑leading Craft‑Bamboo Mercedes driven by Ralf Aron, with both drivers climbing from their cars.
- Reports say Aron suffered a broken back in the collision while Zelger escaped serious injury; those medical details are reported by contemporary coverage rather than official medical releases.
- Tsunami RT will name its 2027 driver lineup closer to the event and team principal Valerio M. Speziali indicated Zelger is likely to be part of the return roster.
- The entry makes Tsunami RT the second confirmed 2027 team after Scott Taylor Motorsport and keeps attention on Mount Panorama because of the circuit’s steep technical demands, the team's distinctive No. 79 livery, and ongoing questions about safety and preparation following the crash.
