TCR (South) Australia Series.

[Sonic]

Yup.

Can't call it a National Series, 5 rounds makes it a State Series event only.

Another category filling up track time to pay the bills (which is fine) but with the expense of running these cars is it worth it?

Round 1 is this weekend.  Just out of curiosity, will there be any coverage of it in Australia?

Sorry Mike. It's off for 2026, and probably forever until they join the historic multitude.

GRM has had a multitude of TCR for sale for some time.

Like S5000, TCR was, in the main, funded by GRM.

Thanks, Steve.

RIP TCR.

Time to lock this gate.

Maybe this will provide a racing opportunity, particularly for the early TCR cars that dropped off the scene.
