Michael King to join TCR Australia in a Hyundai i30 N

Michael King will compete in 2020 TCR Australia Series, securing a brand-new Hyundai i30 N machine. The 43-year-old will make the step up from Improved Production car racing where he has claimed the New South Wales title in the past two years. He also won the 2019 NSW Production Touring Car class, giving him the perfect incentive to make the leap from state to national competition.
King’s Hyundai will be run by DashSport under the AH Racing banner. The team took deliver of the brand-new Hyundai on Tuesday and will test the car at Wakefield Park on Friday, overseen by HMO Customer Racing.

“I’m really looking forward to making the big step up to TCR Australia. It’s going to be a year of fun,” said King. “My plan is to ease our way in to it. I want to finish each race and just build up my speed and results as the year progresses. I had watched a lot of international TCR racing prior to this year, and it’s very competitive and the cars are so cool. Once it was announced it was coming to Australia, I was really excited, and I wanted to race straight away, but I thought I’d watched from afar, and obviously, it has been awesome. It is great dealing with HMO Customer Racing. Those guys have been unreal and a good support. They have been very helpful in every way.”
