Chelsea Angelo confirms return to TCR Australia

After taking part in TCR Australia’s pre-season official test day at Phillip Island, Chelsea Angelo confirmed she will take part in the championship’s second race meeting on the same racetrack.
She will be at the wheel of a Volkswagen Golf GTI run by Melbourne Performance Centre, the very same car that Aaron Cameron drove in 2019 to finish third in the series’ inaugural season.

“It’s exciting to be back. It has been a few weeks to get it all sorted, and there were times when I didn’t think it would be possible, but I’m pleased that it has all worked out,” said Angelo. “I’m over the moon that I’ll be back in the car. It’s cool to be the only VW in the field as well. It gives me a unique edge, but it’s a really strong field this year, so I’m being realistic and aiming for some top-ten results. Anything above that, I’d be over the moon. I haven’t raced for 12 months, and other than the test the other week, I haven’t had a lot of seat time, but I have no doubt that I’ll find my groove quickly. I’m fortunate to know the Phillip Island Grand Prix circuit very well. I’ve done plenty of miles around there and doing the test day recently was important and beneficial. At the moment, it’s just a one-off for Phillip Island, but we are aiming to get some great results and build on the momentum with our group of partners.”
