MG1 Motorsports has announced a two-car Ferrari 296 GT3 programme for the 2027 GT World Challenge America powered by AWS championship.
The Reno, Nevada-based operation will enter one car in Pro-Am for Mike Petramalo and Tyler McQuarrie, and one in Am for Steve Check and Ken Dobson. Both entries will run under the MG1 banner with a coordinated engineering, technical and race-operations structure.
The programme moves MG1 from its Ferrari Challenge North America background into a multi-car GT3 campaign. The team says it has assembled the personnel and resources for the expansion after more than two decades of Ferrari competition activity.
MG1 has completed an initial two-day test with the Ferrari 296 GT3 at Thunderhill Raceway Park in California and plans further testing before the season opener. The official release does not publish lap data, mileage, engineering partners, chassis ownership, testing dates beyond that first run or the team’s operating budget.
The four drivers are confirmed for the named class pairings. MG1 has not disclosed contract lengths, commercial partners, endurance additions or whether the programme includes championships outside GT World Challenge America, so MRI has not inferred a wider 2027 schedule.
MRI compared the SRO canonical URL, headline, MG1 Motorsports, Ferrari 296 GT3, four drivers, Pro-Am and Am classes and the 11 November event date against existing MRI news. No duplicate or near-duplicate article was found.
MRI has no exact MG1 Motorsports business profile, so no unrelated Ferrari dealer or similarly named team was attached and no logo was invented. No feature image was reused because first-party publication permission was not established.
