  2. Wiki

The 2025 TCR Australia Series is the sixth season of the TCR Australia Touring Car Series. The series consists of a mix of a Supercars Championship round, a sole Australian Racing Group round and an international round for the first time in the categories history. Both rounds are part of the TCR World Tour.[1] The championship began on September 13 at The Bend Motorsport Park and concludes at Guia Circuit on November 16 after two rounds.

Calendar

[edit]

The 2025 calendar was announced on 10 December 2024.[1] However, it was updated on 14 February 2025, with One Raceway added as the second round instead of the originally planned first round at Taupō International Motorsport Park.[2] On 18 February 2025, the venue of final round was confirmed as Guia Circuit, where the series will once again support the TCR World Tour after the penultimate round at The Bend Motorsport Park.[3] On 22 April 2025, the season opener at Wanneroo Raceway was also cancelled, reducing the calendar to four rounds.[4] On 17 June 2025, both the season opener at One Raceway and the second round at Winton Motor Raceway were cancelled, leaving a calendar of two rounds, that were a part of the TCR World Tour.[5]
