Will Brown will return to TCR racing next month when he joins the FIA TCR World Tour field at Zhuzhou in China, racing a Hyundai Elantra N for HMO Customer Racing.
Brown, 27, won the inaugural TCR Australia title back in 2019, and recently raced in the series in 2022 and 2023.
The Australian is the most winning driver in TCR Australia, with 14 victories, and his most recent wins in the series came when the TCR World Tour joined the grid at Sydney Motorsport Park, when Brown won twice against the international field.
Since then, Brown has focussed on racing in the top-level Australian Supercars championship with great success, securing the 2024 title and remaining in contention in 2025.
Brown will act as a substitute for Josh Buchan, who has commitments elsewhere, lining up alongside HMO team-mate Ryan MacMillan.
“First of all, I want to congratulate Josh and the entire team on their performance in South Korea,” said Brown. “That was an incredible achievement, and another fantastic showcase for the talent that exists in Australia.
“I am stoked to be joining HMO Customer Racing again for the TCR World Tour round in China and hopefully continue that front-running form.
“While it will be the first time I have driven the Hyundai Elantra N, I am confident the team will give me a rocket ship and hopefully bring home another trophy for them.”
