SRO Motorsports Australia is pleased to welcome Matleena Pukkila as the new Series Manager for Monochrome GT4 Australia.
A seasoned motorsport professional, Pukkila has held a number of customer-facing roles within the industry across a range of high-profile Australian categories in a career spanning 10 years.
Some of her experience includes serving the category management team for Porsche Sprint Challenge Australia and Porsche Carrera Cup Australia, as well as holding the Bathurst 12 Hour Event Administrator role - a position she currently occupies alongside her duties as Event Manager and Sporting Coordinator for SRO Motorsports Australia.
Pukkila will replace the outgoing Troy Williams, who played a pivotal role in the series’ creation and development before announcing his departure in December.
The 2025 Monochrome GT4 Australia season will kick off at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit on April 4-6.
