Caleb Paterson and Kent Quinn have locked in for this year’s Monochrome GT4 Australia in 2026, with the pair to contest the Silver-Am Cup in the DNG Automotive prepared Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS CS.
Making their series debut at GT Festival Hampton Downs last year, the pair will contest the full season and will be looking to build on an impressive maiden weekend from across the Tasman Sea.
Right from the get go, Paterson and Quinn showed plenty of speed throughout the 2025 season finale, with their most telling performance coming during the opening race of the weekend where they climbed from ninth to second in the Silver-Am Cup — finishing behind only fellow debutants Tayler Bryant and Jeremy Gray.
Prior to their Monochrome GT4 Australia debuts, both drivers were predominantly in the Aussie Racing Cars Series.
Starting off in Excels, Paterson moved to Aussie Racing Cars last year where he enjoyed a breakout season in his motorsport journey and constantly hovered towards the top of the field, eventually finishing fourth in the standings.
Some of his highlights throughout the season included a trio of podiums in both Western Australia and Adelaide, and a round victory at GT Festival Sandown, which saw him secure a top five finish for the year.
As for Quinn, he has even more experience in the series, having been a regular starter over the past few years, with his most notable season coming in 2023 where he was crowned champion of the Masters Cup.
In addition to his extended career in Aussie Racing Cars, Quinn has also run in a range of other categories, including Australian Production Cars, the Bathurst 12 Hour and the Australian Excel Super Series, as well as a range of state championship events.
The pair will begin their full-time campaign in Monochrome GT4 Australia at this month’s LIQUI MOLY GT Festival Phillip Island on 27-29 March.

“It’s great to be back and committing to the full season. We had a really strong start in New Zealand, finishing second in race one and sixth in race two, which gave us a lot of confidence,” Paterson said.
“Those results definitely reinforced our decision to run the full season. After that first race result, the whole team had big smiles – it showed we have the pace to be competitive and hopefully fight for race wins this year.
“I’ve raced at most of the tracks we’ll visit this season, with the exception of Phillip Island, so it will be cool to learn a new circuit. Hopefully we can build some strong results and maybe look toward opportunities overseas in GT racing in the future.
“Expectations are definitely a bit higher this year. Kent and I will be racing alongside some very strong competitors, so if we can beat them we know we’re doing something right.
“If we can match or beat the likes of Ryder Quinn/Steve Jakic and Cameron Crick/Dean Campbell, then hopefully that means we’re close to winning races too.”

“I’m definitely keen to get back out there and see how Caleb goes this season. He’s a young driver with a lot of potential and it’s been great working alongside him, so we’re looking forward to jumping out of Aussie Racing Cars and into this for the full campaign,” Quinn said.
“I spent six or seven years racing in Aussie Racing Cars, so this feels like the right next step. We had a really enjoyable round when we raced earlier, and when the opportunity came up to do the full season it made sense to take it.
“A big part of the reason I’m returning this year is to help Caleb develop. He’s shown plenty of potential and it’ll be good to run together across the whole year and see how we go.
“As for expectations, Caleb reckons we have to win every round, so we’ll give it our best shot. But the main goal is to have a good time, enjoy the racing and the company of the other drivers while being as competitive as we can.”
