Greek Australian driver Aaron Zerefos joins Vast Motorsport for the ARDC Production Car 3 Hour at Sandown Raceway. He will share the #90 Flipside BMW M3 with Amar Sharma next month.<\/h3>\n

Aaron Zerefos Vast Motorsport pairing confirmed<\/h3>\n

Zerefos continues his 2026 endurance racing campaign with the new deal. He lines up alongside Sharma in the same BMW that finished third in Class X and ninth outright at April\u2019s Bathurst 6 Hour. Supercars Championship star Jack Le Brocq drove that car at Mount Panorama.<\/p>\n

Zerefos said he feels excited to join the Vast Motorsport squad. The team also runs Sharma in the Porsche Equity-One Carrera Cup Australia Championship. \u201cI\u2019ve known a couple of the team members, Barrell and Harry, for a long time so I\u2019m excited to work with them,\u201d Zerefos said.<\/p>\n

Additionally, this marks his first race in an outright Class X production car. \u201cIt will be my first race in an outright Class X production car, so I can\u2019t wait to experience the BMW M3\u2019s performance and contend for a great outright finish as well as a strong result within our class,<\/em>\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Vast Motorsport welcomed the signing. The team noted that Zerefos impressed at Bathurst this year. \u201cZerefos really impressed us this year at Bathurst, and it\u2019s great to have him in the team \u2013 he\u2019s a safe pair of hands with a big following in Australia and the US.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who is Aaron Zerefos<\/h3>\n

Aaron Zerefos is a Greek Australian entrepreneur and international race car driver. He was born on 26 December 1983 in the rural Sydney suburb of Kenthurst.<\/p>\n

Zerefos attended The King\u2019s School. He later worked in Sydney real estate and became a licensed agent and property investor. He now runs Aaron Zerefos Enterprises. The company distributes brands that include Fiji Water, C Coconut Water, Milk Lab, Add Water and Drinkscene.<\/p>\n

In addition, Greek media regularly describe him as a prominent figure in the Greek Australian community. He balances beverage distribution with a long motorsport career that features multiple Bathurst starts and podium finishes in Porsche machinery.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Zerefos has raced for leading Porsche teams in Australia and overseas. He has competed at events including the Bathurst 12 Hour, Bathurst 6 Hour, Monaco and Daytona.<\/p>\n

Flipside energy drink backs the entry<\/h3>\n

Flipside energy drink brand supports the team\u2019s Sandown entry. High-profile entrepreneur Adrian Portelli owns the brand. Zerefos\u2019 Drinkscene beverage business recently started distributing Flipside products.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the market response has proved encouraging. \u201cMy Drinkscene beverage business recently started distributing Flipside products, and we\u2019ve had an encouraging response in the market, so it will be good to represent them on the track, along with our other brands such as Fiji Water, C Coconut Water, Milk Lab and Add Water,\u201d Zerefos said.<\/p>\n

In addition, the partnership builds on existing commercial ties. Vast Motorsport already fields Sharma under Flipside branding in Carrera Cup. Therefore, the energy drink presence extends naturally into the production car program.<\/p>\n

Practice and race schedule at Sandown<\/h3>\n

Zerefos hits the track for practice on Friday, 7 August. The 3-hour endurance race takes place on Saturday, 8 August. Organizers will live stream the event on YouTube.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Sandown Raceway sits in Melbourne\u2019s Springvale suburb and ranks among Australia\u2019s historic circuits. The ARDC runs the Australian Production Car Endurance Series, with this round forming the second event of the 2026 calendar.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the series visits Sydney Motorsport Park, Sandown, Queensland Raceway and concludes at the Bathurst 6 Hour. Drivers therefore treat every round as vital preparation for the Mount Panorama finale.<\/p>\n

As a result, Zerefos and Sharma aim for both class success and a strong outright result. The BMW M3 already proved competitive at Bathurst. Consequently, the pair enters Sandown with proven pace in Class X.<\/p>\n

Greek City Times previously covered Zerefos\u2019 return to the Bathurst 12 Hour. [Related: Greek Australian racer Aaron Zerefos confirmed for Bathurst start]<\/p>\n
