There isn't a Forum slot (yet) for this Speedcafe announcement, because it is a whole new category for Australia. Read below: .A consortium headed up by former Supercars managing director Matt Braid is set to be confirmed as the promoter of the new TCR Australia Series due to be launched next year. The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) has selected new category management business Australian Racing Group (ARG) as the preferred party to control the promotional and commercial rights to TCR Australia, pending the completion of final contractual negotiations. As previously reported, CAMS is awaiting approval from the board before officially announcing its plans for the new touring car category, having signed a five-year agreement with the growing TCR production touring car platform in January. Melbourne Performance Centre is involved in tentative discussions with Audi Australia regarding involvement, having secured the rights to import and run Volkswagen Audi Group TCR cars. MPC boss Troy Russell says he has received several inquiries about the category already and believes the series can cater for both aspiring drivers and gentlemen racers. “I have have a few inquiries from guys that have done racing in the past and a few younger guys and people who have been around in other categories,” Russell told Speedcafe.com. Speedcafe.com understands customers should be able to import TCR cars to Australia within 10 days via air freight.
