Stephen and Brenton Grove have unveiled their racing livery for the upcoming FIA Motorsport Games.
 
Last week, the father-son duo confirmed they would again be representing Australia on the world stage, returning to the FIA GT Nations Cup which this year will be part of the inaugural FIA Motorsport Games in Rome.
 
Now the covers have come off the Herberth Motorsport-prepared Porsche 911 GT3 R (2019) which the Groves will race at Vallelunga Circuit in Italy.
 
It features the now synonymous patriotic Australian livery, similar to that raced by the Groves at the 2018 FIA GT Nations Cup.
 
On the flanks of the predominately red car is a boxing kangaroo, while an Australian flag runs up the bonnet and on the roof.


 
“Australia has three entries in the FIA Motorsport Games, one in F4, one in Esports, and one in GT," Brenton said.
 
“For us to be representing the country on the GT side is a privilege and it’s something that we take seriously.
 
“We’re making sure we prepare well and do the best we can to represent Australia and hopefully go one or two steps better than we did last year.”


 
Stephen echoed his co-driver’s sentiments, proud to be representing Australia at the international level.
 
“That’s a big thing for me, to be flying the flag for Australia,” Stephen said.
 
“I’m very patriotic as an individual, so to represent Australia and to go over and do the best possible job we can is a huge thing for me.
 
“I take it really seriously and I’m looking forward to trying to do the best job I can for Australia.”
 
The FIA Motorsport Games begin with the official opening ceremony in Rome on 31 October, with competition to start on 1 November.
