Tony D’Alberto and Adrian Deitz will re-enter this year’s GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS with the pair to race for Wall Racing once again.
Together, D’Alberto and Deitz have raced together for many years in a number of national and international series with their most recent stints within the GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS and the Bathurst 12 Hour.
Since 2019 when they first raced together, they have featured in almost every Bathurst 12 Hour and began competing part time in GT World Challenge Australia from 2022 – all of which have been behind the wheel of a Lamborghini.
They have shown plenty of progress over the past few years in GT World Challenge Australia and have also enjoyed Bathurst 12 Hour success with two victories in the Silver class in 2024 and 2025 and an outright fifth in the 2022 running of the popular endurance race. They qualified sixth for the race this year, finishing 15th outright off the back of working with a Lamborghini factory driver working with the team to unlock performance from their Huracan.
In addition to those two series, the pair have also competed internationally with success coming along the way – their two-race stint in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Asia Pro-Am class with D1 Racing Team seeing them pick up a win and ending the season in sixth as well as Silver class podium at the Suzuka 10 Hour.
Separately, D’Alberto has been competing at a national level for more than two decades now and has built a successful career across the Supercars pathway, touring cars and of course GT racing. He rose to prominence in 2007 when he won Supercars’ Super2 Series in his second season before eventually stepping up to the main game shortly after.
Although he had a full time run in Supercars, D’Alberto truly forged his career in the championship as a co-driver, where he enjoyed no shortage of success with Bathurst 1000 podiums in both 2017 and 2023. Having raced with Dick Johnson Racing for 10 years, D’Alberto has been the longest serving driver for the prominent Supercars outfit in that time.
Outside of Supercars, D’Alberto was one of the original competitors of TCR Australia and eventually secured the series title in 2022, while also competing regularly in GT categories, driving Ferrari, Mercedes-AMG and Lamborghinis where across these campaigns, he has accumulated multiple race wins and podiums.
As for Deitz, the majority of his experience comes in Australian GT racing where he first debuted in 2014 in Maranello Motorsport, where he remained for the next three years in a Ferrari 458 GT3.
In 2017, he switched to Zagame Motorsport and the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 as a result and started strong with a podium in the GT endurance championship during his maiden campaign.
Following his spell with Zagame, he moved to Wall Racing and where he has remained ever since, linking up with David Wall and Tony D’Alberto and competing mostly in the two Australian series.
The pair begin their 2026 GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS campaign later this month as part of the LIQUI MOLY GT Festival Phillip Island.

“It’s always great to continue the relationship with a familiar team in wall racing, and Adrian and I have been driving together for many years now. As a group we’re getting stronger and stronger, and the Bathurst 12 Hour showed that with the speed we had in the car,” D’Alberto said.
“The result there has given everyone a lot of confidence heading into Phillip Island. We’re hopeful we can be competitive because the pace we showed proved the car is capable of running at the front if we get things right.”
“We also had some great support from Lamborghini, and having Marco Mapelli involved at Bathurst was a big help. He drives these cars all the time and was able to focus on some key areas to help us unlock more pace.
“That confidence runs through the whole team – the engineers, the mechanics, everyone involved – because we know the Lamborghini is capable of mixing it with the front of the field. There’s some really tough competition and strong driver combinations out there, but on our day there’s no reason why we can’t be right in the fight.
“And at the end of the day, who wouldn’t want to drive a Lamborghini GT3 around a track like Phillip Island?”

“I am excited to return to GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS in 2026 with Wall Racing and Tony D’Alberto – especially off the back of what we felt was a really successful Bathurst 12 Hour event,” Deitz said.
“First and foremost, working with both David and Tony is always a huge positive. David is a wealth of knowledge and runs a great outfit, while Tony and I have been driving together for a long time now, so we understand how each other works and how to get the most out of the car across a race weekend. He is a great teacher and a fantastic person to be around.
“We spent a lot of time in the middle of 2025 trying to understand how the European teams run their Huracáns. As a result, we made some big changes in the way we ran our car in the second half of 2025. After working with Marco Mapelli and one of Lamborghini Squadra Corse’s senior engineers at Bathurst, that validated the direction we have taken and I have a lot more confidence behind the wheel.
“That weekend in Bathurst showed that the package is capable of being competitive, and it gave everyone in the team a lot of confidence in what the car can do when we put everything together. We’ve continued to learn more about it each time we get on track, which is really encouraging.
“The Pro-Am field is incredibly competitive, so I am looking forward to the challenge of building on the progress we’ve made and hopefully getting a podium or victory in the rounds that we attend.”
