\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA Hyundai i30 N TCR car as part of Super TT.<\/p>\n

An ill-fated attempt to revive the standalone series with a calendar at The Bend and Mallala was ultimately abandoned earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Since then, some TCR competitors appeared at the non-championship SuperTT round as part of the Bathurst 6 Hour.<\/p>\n

An agreement between TCR promoter WSC Group and Motorsport Australia has confirmed the Motor Racing Australia-promoted SuperTT as the new home of TCR Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful to Motorsport Australia for their dedication in helping us to find a worthy environment for the many TCR cars that are in Australia,\u201d said WSC president Marcello Lotti.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiving them the opportunity to join the MRA series and fight for a TCR Australia title is the first step to relaunch the category in Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just three TCR cars have entered the season-opener at Sydney Motorsport Park on May 16.<\/p>\n

The entry list includes Iain McDougall in his Audi RS 3 LMS, Brad Harris in a Honda Civic, and Harrison Cooper in a Hyundai i30 N.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was important to find the right series, framework and support to position TCR competitors for success in Australia,\u201d said Motorsport Australia CEO Josh Blanksby.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis solution guarantees that competitors can continue to compete with confidence and enjoy being part of grassroots motorsport in 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cBacked by a united and passionate community, we look forward to seeing TCR Australia competitors back on track this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

The May 16 date represents Round 3 of SuperTT. Round 4 is slated for July 5 at Sydney Motorsport Park before Round 5 on August 8 at One Raceway. Round 6 will take place at SMP on October 17.<\/p>\n
