GWR Australia, in partnership with Platinum Motorsport, has secured a Hyundai i30 N TCR car and will compete in the inaugural TCR Australia Series next year.
Garth Walden, a former Supercars Championship driver and now national-level motorsport team owner, has confirmed that his team will field one of the Hyundai racers, to be based in its Sydney workshop.
The team is also keen on securing a second car too, however, will wait on interest and feedback from potential drivers before making the commitment on the second car. At this stage, no driver has been confirmed for the first car.
The GWR Hyundai will be the fourth Hyundai i30 N to arrive in Australia through HMO Customer Racing. The HMO team has already confirmed that it has secured three of the 2 litre turbocharged cars for its own team.
HMO has already received one of its vehicles, which was involved in the TCR Australia media and competitors day at Sydney Motorsport Park in November.
At that day, Walden drove the Hyundai and was impressed with its speed and usability.
The next two i30 Ns will arrive in Australia in January, while the GWR car is set to arrive in early February.
