Ashley Seward Motorsport confirmed it will race again two Alfa Romeo Giulietta cars in the 2021 TCR Australia. The Melbourne-based team has signed the 16-year-old rookie Jay Hanson who will be joined by a yet-to-be-named driver.
Team boss Ash Seward said that he is in close contact with up to four drivers who are showing genuine interest in the competitive Alfa Romeo package.
“We’re going hard at it, and we are committed to entering two cars,” said Seward. “The TCR business model is to have two cars minimum. We have four drivers on the shortlist, but there’s a few other teams out there with spare cars too. So there’s some competition for those drivers, but we are confident that we will be able to get someone in our car.”
The Alfa Romeo was a standout in the 2019 TCR Australia Series at the hands of Dylan O’Keeffe, who took two pole positions and four race wins on his way to fourth outright in the inaugural series.
“The Alfa, in the hands of Dylan, proved last year that it’s ultra competitive,” Seward said. “You only have to look at World TCR to see that it has been a very competitive package compared to some of the big manufacturers."
