Michael King to make TCR Australia debut in Sydney

Privateer Hyundai driver Michael King will make his debut in the TCR Australia Series at Sydney Motorsport Park next weekend.
After purchased the Hyundai i30 N TCR at the start of the 2020 season, his first official race is some 16 months in the making, having been forced to keep his maiden run on ice during 2020, and electing to miss the first three rounds of 2021.
With a number of test days under his belt, King feels he is as ready as he can be for his touring car debut. 

“Our expectation is just get in there and have a crack, and hopefully we get a reasonable result from it,” said King. “It’s my home track. I’ve raced there for years in Improved Production and Production Touring Cars. We had success at that circuit, so we certainly know what way the track goes. I’ve done some testing of the TCR car at Sydney Motorsport Park too, just trying to get familiar with the car. But none of that is not going to give me a leg up in this category. There are some great drivers and teams, but you know, we’re going to have some fun and see where we fall fit in.”
