Lachlan Mineeff to join TCR Australia from the second event

Lachlan Mineeff confirmed plans for 2023 TCR Australia campaign; he will miss the opening round at Symmons Plains before returning to the series at Phillip Island.

Mineeff experienced an upturn of form after switching from Volkswagen to Audi last year, scoring a career-best of fifth place in the season finale at Bathurst. He will continue at the wheel of the Audi RS 3 LMS run by the Purple Sector team.

"Missing the opening round does put a dampener on our title aspirations, but as long as we can finish races and do well you never know,” said Mineeff. “TCR Australia is very exciting and promising this season. The fact we’ve got the TCR World Tour joining at the end of the year is awesome. I think the ability for all Australia teams and drivers, especially us at Purple Sector to compare ourselves to the best in the world is really exciting. TCR is such a good platform, which allows this opportunity and I’m very keen to see what we can do for the rest of the year, plus we want to make sure everything we commit to is done right as well as to the best of our ability.”
