Maybe Boost is putting up some money?

it is great to see an established operating running some brands which might have been seen as unlikely starters.

Hilariously someone posted this on the GRM FB page:
"But Renault’s are old people cars... and you don’t allow old people in your team..."

Perhaps the intention is to parlay a participation in TCR to a 'works' assisted deal for the Supercar program.

Ricciardo to GRM/Boost?

So GRM are running 4 TCR cars, along with developing and building the S5000 open wheelers. While trying to move up the Supercars grid with 2 young drivers.
Busy year!

That's a really good way of getting the Ricciardo/Verstappen vibe in a team. When does Max come out of contract at RBR?

All I'm seeing is plenty of seats and no bums.

Only Mr Vernon has confirmed to start.

2019 TCR Australia Silly Season

Well this series looks like it could be doomed. Not enough interest in it from any top names or rising stars

Still 2 months to go . Several other drivers will happen, perhaps in the next couple of weeks.

Well they better hope so. Who would want to race it though, doesn’t have the same appeal as the V8s

Likewise.

If the opportunity to race TCR was presented to me, I'd be all over it. They look like a hoot to drive without being overly difficult.
