Formula Ford race winner set for TCR Australia debut

Stand-out Formula Ford ace Zac Soutar will enter the 2020 TCR Australia Series in a Honda Civic Type R.
The 22-year-old and his family-run Team Soutar Motorsport squad has purchased the ex-Tony D’Alberto’s Civic; Soutar has spent the past three season competing in Australian Formula Ford, finishing second this year and picking up five race wins.
His family team has decided to continue to enter their own race cars in TCR, and will work closely with Honda’s Australian importer Wall Racing at each event.
Soutar will get his first drive of the Civic Type R in a private test at Winton Raceway this Friday.

“I’m really open minded and ready to learn about how to make these cars fast,” said Soutar. “I’m in no rush to be at the front of the field straight away. I feel like this is a class I could be in for a long time, so my plan is to get comfortable and build towards a long future in the category. It’s not a stepping stone class and I’d love to be in TCR Australia for a few years. Having said that, if there’s an opportunity to race overseas, I’d love to take on that challenge.”
