American to race in GT4 Australia

THERE will be an American presence on the GT4 Australia grid this year with Ford Racing driver Sam Paley joining forces with Jack Wallis.

The duo will race a Wallis Motorsport Mustang GT4, starting with the Phillip Island opener on March 27- 29.

Wallis previously partnered Paley’s Ford Racing peer Jenson Altzman for a one-off start last year at The Bend.

Paley lauded it a “great opportunity” to take on the Australian series.

“This new generation of Mustang GT4 is a phenomenal race car and has had massive global success in 2025. We will be looking to build on that success this year,” he said.

“Ford and Mustang have a huge following down in Australia, and I’m looking forward to growing my personal network, experience, and exposure Down Under.

“There’s a lot of excitement surrounding Ford Racing and its global mission.

“I’m honoured to represent America’s Race Team through the Ford Racing Driver Development Team.

“Jack is a very strong, up-and-coming young driver, and my goal is to use my existing knowledge and expertise to propel his development and success within motorsports.

“I’m eager to get going with Jack and strive toward some strong results this season with Wallis Motorsport.”

Among other members of Ford’s 2026 driver development team is Super2 race winner Cameron McLeod.
