Team BRM will welcome back Alex Peroni alongside Mark Rosser for the rest of the 2026 GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS season, starting with this month’s visit to Queensland Raceway.
Regular teammates within the series for the past two years, Peroni missed the opening two rounds of the season due to an injury but has now been cleared to get back behind the wheel of the Audi R8 LMS EVO II for Queensland and beyond.
The return reunites him with Rosser, with the pair having built a formidable partnership since 2024 that has seen them score four wins - two of which have come at Queensland Raceway across both years.
Peroni’s time with Rosser has effectively been his main racing experience in Australia, having been part of an impressive Formula 1 pathway that saw him claim a Formula Renault race win at Monaco in 2018 and three podium finishes in the FIA Formula 3 Championship.
In 2023, Peroni got his first GT experience when he made multiple appearances across the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance and the Intercontinental GT Challenge series before returning to Australia in 2024 where he linked up with Rosser.
It’s been a challenging year thus far for the Tasmanian, whose only stint behind the wheel came at the 2026 Bathurst 12 Hour where he teamed up with Rosser, Steve Brooks and James Golding – the car retiring after a big crash midway through the race.
In returning to the #268 Team BRM Audi R8 LMS EVO II, Peroni will replace Thomas Randle, who has produced super-sub performances across the opening two rounds as he and Rosser enjoyed three podiums in four races, including a double podium at The Bend last month.
As a result of their stellar efforts, Rosser currently sits fourth in the overall standings and just 10 points off the leading entries of Broc Feeney and Brad Schumacher.
While Peroni will be forced to get up to speed in a rapid manner in Ipswich, the 26-year-old’s previous form at Queensland makes it the perfect circuit for his return as he and Rosser look to secure their fifth win together.
The 2026 GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS season continues this month at Queensland Raceway on June 12-14.
QUOTES
Alex Peroni
#268 Team BRM Audi R8 LMS EVO II
“It’s great to be back. There was definitely a period where things were a bit uncertain with my recovery, so to be recovering well and returning for Queensland is really exciting.
“We’ve had some strong results at Queensland Raceway over the past couple of years, so I’m looking forward to getting back in the car with Mark and the BRM team again.
“The team has started the season really strongly and BRM has continued to grow, so it’ll be great to come back into a really competitive environment. Having more data and experience around the team this year is only going to help us continue developing the car and improving ourselves as drivers.
“Mark has been performing consistently all season and Tom did a fantastic job stepping in earlier this year, so hopefully we can continue that momentum this weekend.
“Queensland was probably our strongest circuit last year, so I’m feeling confident heading back there, even though I haven’t been in the car since Bathurst. I’m sure it won’t take too long to get back up to speed.
“Qualifying is always critical in this category because overtaking can be so difficult, so I know I’ll need to be on the pace straight away. But overall, I’m feeling confident heading into the weekend.”

“I’m really looking forward to having Alex back in the car this weekend,” Rosser said.
“Tom did a fantastic job stepping in earlier this season and it was great working with him, but Alex and I have built some really good momentum together over the past couple of years and we’re looking to continue that and fight for more podiums across the rest of the season.
“Queensland Raceway has been a strong track for us. We’ve managed to take race wins there over the last two years, so it’s a good place for Alex to make his return.
“With no test day beforehand and Alex not having driven since Bathurst, Queensland is probably one of the better circuits to come back at. It’s a little less physically demanding and a bit more straightforward compared to some of the other tracks we race at, so it should help us get back up to speed quickly despite the limited preparation.”
