Not to mention that Mineef stepping into the ex-Macdougall Forza Audi was a net loss as the VW was parked too.

Wouldn’t want it to drop any further than the 18 seen today
Mclellan and Boyd are both out, Boyd having much bigger fish to fry. All of these cars have to stand on their own two feet now and I'm really not so sure the move to Stan is helpful.

A very wet Sandown provided the usual mix of winners.

The end of race 2 (together with the end of the second GT race) must be amongst the most unusual finishes to a motor race.

All credit must go to the officials, volunteers, teams and TV crew who brought us a weekend of some of the best racing this season.

Bathurst International Weekend.

Tony D'Alberto winning the championship even though his Honda struggled for a front running pace. 2 points in front of Brown.

Sunday - Race 2 was cancelled due to the weather. Saturday Race 1- was dryish, notable for Jay Hanson sliding into the wall. Sweeny won from O'Keeffe and Morcom

Race 3 was eventful with Brown eventually winning from Sweeny and Buchan.

As well as the usual Kangaroo break, there was a tortoise aided from the track by event staff.

Congratulations to Mr D'Alberto & Wall Racing!

The BoP does not seem kind to the Civic with straight line handling.

Interesting to see Mr Clemente step out of his pre-evo Civic and into the Audi, and show an immediate jump in competitiveness...

Wonder if Honda will be back next year, with the new Civic Type R body shape coming, the current cars will be superseded

ARG basically gave them every opportunity to win it, you'd think, to entice a return...

No confirmation yet, that I can see, of a new model in the pipeline. Although there's plenty of the current ones hitting the market.

What surprised me was that they sought to use a perfectly good race car for promo duties.

I suppose, none of the other half a dozen mothballed chassis made an appearance either.

Hopefully it topped up the budget of the car’s regular pilot to fund the Audi ride..

My understanding is that the car used, previously carried the Stan livery.

GRM also thought to lug a spare Alfa up, only to stick it in the museum.

For what is meant to be their marquee event, you'd think they'd be able to find a couple more ring-ins...

The last race was certainly one of the best races of 2022.

Will's pass at the Kink was especially entertaining.

Sadly, as a supporter of Jay Hanson, I am now starting to lose faith.

Jay Hanson...look, the kid is quick but one of the latest spec cars in the field is being wasted on him as he seems to bin it every meeting.

Surely that can't go on ?

So JAS Motorsport have revealed the new FL5 Civic TCR overnight.

Deliveries to customer teams to occur in April '23.

Looks good!



Maybe JAS should make it handle corners worse so they get more favourable straight-line handling BOP, but unfortunately they've been building touring cars for too long.

The hatch already has a sedan-like profile (which many complain about, not realising the aerodynamic benefits), the Civic hasn't been a two-box hatch for 4 generations now, so I don't think drag from a steep C-pillar angle (which it doesn't have) is the issue.

The yellow/red/white seemed to pay homage to the DJR ‘03 BA Falcon livery..

Too early to start a roll call for next year?

Honda/Wall Racing:
Tony D’Alberto? (If the new cars won’t be delivered until April, does Honda Australia have any incentive to back an old model for half a year)
Any takers for the ex-STAN car?
What ever happened to John Martin?

Zac Souter - Presumably back again

Hyundai/HMO
3x Elantra’s or still an i30?
Nathan Morcom - ran at the front at Bathurst in Race 2, presumably has a drive as long as he wants it
Josh Buchan - setup for a championship challenge
Bailey Sweeney - Super2?

Luke King - Presumably back again?

Audi/MPC
Jay Hanson - Super 2?
Will Brown - Probably depends on liqui Moly
Michael Clemente - a one off at Bathurst or now a full year with them?
Lachlan Mineef - found form at Bathurst , back again?
Any more new spec Audi’s coming?

Peugeot:
Aaron Cameron - made noises on the parked up podcast he was moving to super 2 next year
Dylan O’Keefe - concentrate on Porsches?
Jordan Cox - setup to chase the title next year
Ben Bargwanna - presumably back again

Renault:
Are they still going to press on with them?
Does Moffat want a quicker car?
Kody Garland again or does another graduate of the Ambrose combine take the spot?

ASM - only a one car effort and only team with an Alfa, would they move on next year?
Michael Caruso - does he want to still run mid-pack? Does he need a full season drive to stay relevant for Supercars co-driving duties?

Brad Shiels/Tilton?
The ex-Mineef Volkswagons
Braydon Willmington
Toyota?
Lynk & Co?
Cupra?

Not a lot of news yet and not really that long until round 1 next year. Is that a worry? Next year is supposed to be the biggest yet for TCR Australia with two rounds of the World Series after all

Was definitely the Clemente car, had all his sponsor signage and his name still on the passenger dashboard area
