Experienced Supercars and GT driver Tony D’Alberto will complete double duties at Shannons SpeedSeries events this season after confirming a program in Monochrome GT4 Australia.
Driving alongside the returning competitor Jarrod Keyte in a Melbourne Performance Centre-prepared Ford Mustang GT4, D’Alberto will make his Monochrome GT4 Australia debut at Phillip Island on 27-29 March.
Car owner and driver Keyte is no stranger to Monochrome GT4 Australia, finishing fifth in last year’s Am Cup driving the same Ford Mustang.
The red and white Mustang will feature a similar look to the colours of the Supercars team D'Alberto races for – the Shell V-Power Racing Team – for which he will enter his 11th season as its endurance driver later this season.
The car's primary sponsor will be Ekebol Tilt Tray, with Shell joining to support the pair's push for the Silver-Am title.
Double duty beckons for D’Alberto as this Monochrome GT4 Australia program adds to his long-time GT World Challenge Powered by AWS entry partnering Adrian Deitz in the Wall Racing Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo2.
D’Alberto and Keyte will join a 34-strong entry list for Round 1 of Monochrome GT4 Australia at Phillip Island this weekend.

"I'm really excited to get into racing in the Mustang GT4 with Jarrod for the 2026 Monochrome GT4 Australia Series," said D'Alberto.
"We did the test day at Phillip Island last week and it was great to see Jarrod build up pace and confidence through the day.
"He isn't here just to make up the numbers, and my job will be to fast track his learning each weekend. To be honest, though, he's pretty good anyway ... he might be faster than me!
"The Mustang is such a user-friendly car to drive. It does everything that you ask and has plenty of grunt. I can't wait to get into my first season of GT4 competition."

“This season we’ve gotten serious with the program by going to Melbourne Performance Centre and bringing in Tony,” said Keyte.
“I’ve made these changes to help with my development and hopefully we can get some results.”
“I’ve always raced in categories where it’s all about the driver rather than the car. GT4 has that parity through BoP and it doesn’t matter what car a driver is in it’s pretty fair.
“Having a co-driver such as Tony to build the confidence and benchmark myself against him is fantastic. When we were searching for a co-driver we wanted somebody, who was there to support my development and Tony fits that role.”
