World Sporting Consulting Limited (WSC) and TCR Australia confirmed yesterday that the final round of the 2025 TCR Australia touring car season will be held during this year’s Macau Grand Prix.
TCR Australia organizers announced in a statement that the series’ final round will take place from November 13 to 16 as part of the Guia Race. TCR Australia Series cars and drivers will also compete in the final round of the Kumho FIA TCR World Tour.
Following the previous announcement of the TCR World Tour’s return to Australia at Shell V-Power Motorsport Park (The Bend) on September 12-14, the TCR Australia Series will contest two rounds alongside the world’s elite TCR teams.
WSC, the global rights holder of TCR, has extended the opportunity for TCR Australia teams to race against the world’s leading TCR teams on the Guia Circuit. At the same time, WSC announced that it will fully cover freight costs for Australian teams heading to Macau.
This announcement finalizes the five-round TCR Australia Series, which will kick off at Raceway (Wanneroo) in Western Australia on June 6-8, supporting the Supercars Championship.
The Perth event will be followed by appearances at One Raceway (New South Wales), Winton Raceway (Victoria), The Bend (South Australia), and the finale in Macau.
WSC group president Marcello Lotti said, “TCR Australia has always been one of TCR’s more important and exciting competitions, rooted in the long-standing tradition of touring car racing in the country. It’s great that we’ve been able to extend our cooperation to a second event and offer Australian competitors the unique opportunity to finish the season in Macau.”
TCR Australia Series director David Sonenscher added, “I’m thrilled to bring the TCR Australia Series to one of the most iconic circuits in the world and certainly one of the greatest challenges for a driver.
The opportunity to extend our cooperation with the Kumho FIA TCR World Tour and showcase Australian drivers on the highest international stage at Macau demonstrates the unique opportunity TCR Australia and the global TCR platform provide for all participants.”
This announcement also means TCR Australia will replace TCR Asia and TCR China as the expanding field for Macau, which has recently been dominated by the latter two. This shift will give the event a broader international perspective.
