Beginning his motorsport career with a stint in Eurpean karting - driving for the CL Kart Team - the team founded by F1 driver Charles Le Clerc, ANDREW TORTI is fast becoming a name in Australian motorsport.

In 2025 he became the Australian Formula Ford 1600 Champion and claimed multiple victories in the State FF championship, while also competing on the national stage driving for BF Racing and impressing teams and fans alike.

Torti has spent the majority of his racing career in Formula Fords, having karted in his junior years before taking a hiatus to focus on his career in general.

The 45-year-old then returned to the category a few years back and has never looked back as he went from strength to strength in the series.

His impeccable record in Formula Ford at a national level has seen him enjoy more than a dozen podium finishes despite having made just over 20 appearances in the category.

In 2026, apart from contuniing in open wheelers, Torti will partner young gun Lachlan Evennett in the Monochrome GT4 Australian championships, at the wheel of the very latest Toyota Supra GT4 EVO 2.

“GT4 wasn’t originally on my horizon, but when the opportunity to join Lachlan came up, I jumped on board straight away, so I am extremely excited to be here and racing,” Torti said.

“A lot of work has gone into this already, from time on the simulator to fitness training. We’ll start testing in the coming weeks. For me, Lachlan is a great kid with a bright future and I want to be able to help as much as I can continue on their upwards trajectory. 

“The whole team behind us is extremely high quality and hugely committed. That support can be the difference between just getting through races and achieving strong results, which gives me a lot of confidence heading into the season.

“With that said, our expectations are to be competitive. Even though the field is strong, we believe we have the quality to get some serious results this season.

“I love the whole GT4 experience, and I’d absolutely like to take that and do something in Europe down the road. I’m not too old, and I think I’m fitter than ever, which could prove to be the difference.

“Like anything, the more time and effort you put in, the more results you’ll get back. I’ve been in the simulator every week since we agreed to do this, so while there’s plenty of pressure, I’m incredibly excited.”
