The first title-contending replacement driver for the GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS season finale has been confirmed, with Australian international star Scott Andrews locked in to join Paul Lucchitti in Adelaide.
With Lucchitti's regular co-driver in Jayden Ojeda set to miss the season finale due to his Supercars commitments, Andrews is a more than worthy replacement to join Lucchitti in the #66 Move My Wheels by Tigani Motorsport Mercedes-AMG GT3.
While this will be Andrews’ GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS debut, he is no stranger to SRO Motorsports events, having competed in the 2025 Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour for the Intercontinental GT Challenge alongside Sergio Pires and Marcel Zalloua with Tigani Motorsport - the trio enjoying a Pro-Am class podium in the process.
The trio also entered this year’s Bathurst 12 Hour with the addition of Kiwi GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS regular, Brendon Leitch. Andrews also enjoyed a part-time GT World Challenge America powered by AWS campaign earlier this year, with a top 10 finish alongside co-driver Tony Davis at Barber Motorsports Park their best result.
It is in the United States where Andrews has forged his highly successful international career since leaving Australia to compete internationally, having run in some of the top customer racing categories around the world.
Winning the F1600 class in the 2015 Australian Formula Ford Championship with seven wins and a further 14 podiums, Andrews switched open-wheelers for GT and Tin Top cars and Australia for the world, as he went on to feature regularly in the Le Mans Cup in Europe and the Asian Le Mans Series over the next few years.
Following solid stints in Europe and Asia, Andrews then made the move to the United States where he took part in the Prototype and Pilot Challenges, before stepping up to the highly esteemed SportsCar Championship - a series he has remained in until now having debuted in 2020.
Throughout the last six years, Andrews has also run in a number of popular endurance races, including the Gulf 12 Hours in 2023 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2021.
In joining the GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS, Andrews will be looking to help Lucchitti secure the Pro-Am title with the New South Welshman a mathematical chance to become champion on the streets of Adelaide.
Currently sitting fourth on the standings, Lucchitti is 40 points off the leading Brad Schumacher, having scored two race wins and a podium across the 10 races so far with Ojeda.
The 2026 GT World Challenge Australia powered by AWS season wraps up at the bp Adelaide Grand Final on 26-29 November.
