Jarrod Keyte will welcome a new co-driver for the season-ending LIQUI MOLY GT Festival Sandown next week, with Harrison Goodman to join the Tasmanian on board the #21 Ekebol MPC Ford Mustang GT4.
With Goodman currently plying his trade in the IMSA Pilot Challenge over in the United States, the Queensland-born driver will make his return to Australia for the first time since March to feature in the Monochrome GT4 Australia season finale.
The appearance will mark Goodman’s debut in the series as he looks for a potential full-time move to the category for the 2027 season, with the pair to run in the Silver-Am Cup.
Although he currently races across the Pacific Ocean, he has spent plenty of time behind the wheel in Australia, starting his career in Australian Formula Ford before working his way through the Porsche Motorsport pyramid in Australia.
Goodman spent two seasons in Porsche Sprint Challenge Australia, where he ended best campaign in seventh during his opening season before stepping up to Porsche Carrera Cup in 2024 with Sonic Motor Racing Services.
Following his sole season in the domestic top tier of the one-make series, Goodman then made the move overseas where he has remained for the past two years - his best result in the competitive IMSA Pilot Challenge being a 10th place at the famous Daytona.
Goodman’s appointment makes him Keyte’s third different co-driver for the year, with Tony D’Alberto having run the opening two rounds before Josh Thomas joined him for the third round in Queensland. Since Darwin, Keyte has run solo in the Am Cup, picking up a win and a podium across the four races.
Monochrome GT4 Australia’s season finale takes place at Sandown International Motor Raceway on 30 October - 1 November.

“It’s going to be a really cool experience getting back into racing in Australia after competing in the IMSA Pilot Challenge in America all year,” Goodman said.
“Pretty much everything is new this weekend, but I’m looking forward to sharing the car with Jarrod. I met him at Phillip Island at the first round earlier this year, so it’ll be great to get back into a different car.
“It was at Phillip Island that I saw the series live for the first time, which was cool. It looks like SRO Motorsports Australia runs it really well, and it’s great to see so many GT4s competing in Australia now at a really competitive level.
“I’m interested to see what the Mustang is like at Sandown. I’ve raced against it in Pilot Challenge this year and it’s been pretty strong in a straight line, so I’m looking forward to seeing how it compares with some of the other GT4 cars and the Carrera Cup cars I’ve driven.
“I’m still looking at the options for next year, whether that’s continuing to race in America in Pilot Challenge or returning to Australia to race in GT4 with SRO, but I am in the process of trying to work out which pathway is best for me.
“I’m really excited to get back to Australia. I haven’t been home since March, so I’m looking forward to racing in a new category, a new championship, a new car and with a new team-mate and team.”

“It will be good to have Harrison join me in the Mustang for the season finale - especially someone who has plenty for experience across a range of categories,” Keyte said.
“After a couple of rounds in the car by myself, it will be nice to have someone to help set the car up, reassure that what I’m feeling in the car is correct and compare data with to push me forward as a driver.
“I’m really excited to draw Harrison’s experience racing GT4 cars in the United States for the past couple of years, and I am hoping we can finish the year on a high.”
