Monochrome GT4 Australia will enter the second half of the 2026 season with a historic visit to Hidden Valley Raceway as the series, alongside the Shannons SpeedSeries, heads to the Northern Territory for the first time ever for the upcoming LIQUI MOLY GT Festival Darwin.
With a 27-car field across seven manufacturers entered for the highly anticipated round, Round 4 of the 2026 season presents a fresh challenge for the field, as many of the 45 drivers preparing to tackle the iconic Darwin circuit will do so for the very first time.
Adding further intrigue to the weekend is the tightening class title battles across the Silver, Silver-Am and Am classes, where valuable points will be on offer as the season enters its second half following an entertaining round at Queensland Raceway last month.
Representing Audi, BMW, Ford, McLaren, Mercedes-AMG, Porsche and Toyota, the field will once again battle for both outright honours and valuable Global Manufacturer Ranking points as each marque continues its fight for supremacy.
AUDI
Audi will once again be represented by a single-car effort as Purdie Racing / Team BRM continues its campaign with Blake Purdie and Jobe Stewart.
The pair head to Darwin sitting fourth in the Silver Cup standings following another consistent performance in Queensland and will be eager to return to the podium aboard their #48 Audi R8 LMS GT4 as they continue their pursuit of the title.

FORD
Ford Mustang GT4 once again boasts the largest representation in the field with 10 entries spread across all three classes.

The Silver Cup battle remains incredibly close for Ford, with Aaron Cameron and Lochie Dalton sitting third in the standings, Cameron McLeod and Mason Harvey in second, while Blake Tracey and George Miedecke are only a handful of points further back in fifth and will be looking to top the standings again having led the class heading into the previous round.

Method Motorsport's Chris Lillis and Nathan Callaghan also head to Darwin off the back of success in Queensland, with the pair now leading the Am Cup thanks to a victory and podium in Queensland.
