MG1 Motorsports to Enter GT World Challenge America with Two-Car Ferrari Program in 2027
MG1 Motorsports has officially announced its entry into the GT World Challenge America powered by AWS for the 2027 season, fielding a two-car Ferrari 296 GT3 lineup. The Reno, Nevada-based team, which has competed in the Ferrari Challenge North America since 2005, is set to transition to GT3 competition.
Two notable drivers are slated for the Pro-Am #38 entry: 2022 Coppa Shell champion Michael Petramalo and 2019 IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge GS champion Tyler McQuarrie. The Am class will feature Steve Check and Ken Dobson in the #33 Ferrari, both of whom are alumni of the Ferrari Challenge.
Bobby Golasinski, Team Principal of MG1 Motorsports, stated, “Entering GT World Challenge America marks an exciting new chapter for MG1 Motorsports and a significant step forward for our team.” He emphasized the team’s commitment to assembling a skilled crew and leveraging its extensive experience to build a competitive program across both the Pro-Am and Am classes.
Preparations are underway, including a recent two-day test at Thunderhill Raceway Park, setting the stage for a promising debut in 2027. MG1 Motorsports aims to maintain its tradition of strong driver relationships and technical excellence as it steps up to this new challenge.
