Tony D’Alberto will be racing in the inaugural TCR Australia Series, driving a Honda Civic Type R for Wall Racing.
D’Alberto is a former Super2 Series champion and is regarded as one of Australia’s best all-round race drivers. Last year, he won the Australian GT Endurance Championship with and scored multiple race wins in the Australian Production Car Series.
“I’ve been working hard on getting into the TCR Australia Series. The category has a lot of potential in our racing market here in Australia. Personally, I’m really excited to have my own car for the year. Over the past few years, I’ve been driving lots of different cars with other people. It will be nice not be a co-driver for a change! The Honda Civic is a great car. From all reports, it is one of the best TCR Series cars in the field at the moment. The JAS Motorsport team has built a fantastic car and I’m confident that with Wall Racing we can be up the front and be competitive,” said D’Alberto.
Team owner David Wall commented: “It’s fantastic to lock in Tony to drive one of our Honda cars for this year. Him and I have driven together in the past and we’ve always had a great respect for each other. I feel that we’re going to be a very good combination. I’m hoping that I can lock away our second driver in the coming weeks so we can have everything set for the testing and the opening round.”
