Well there is certainly plenty of variety promised , although I am surprised that GRM didn't renew their partnership with Cyan and get a Lynk & Co

I think you are being a bit harsh here, they have shown speed and potential, several times. They have just not had the budget to do a full season anywhere and they've had some bad luck along the way. I think the overall car is quite good.

Or simply owned by the benefactors of the series?

There's chatter that most of the cars have been procured this way

How does one (Aka Kelly Racing) financially run 8 race cars from their facility.
How does one live and support all that.

A TCR is virtually a road car, all it needs is an oil and filter change between race meetings.

Running the car should be not very involved, assuming there is no crash damage...

Yep. The seats are for rent.

Charge more than it costs you, and you'll make your money back.

Roughly a month out from the start of the season and none of the GRM cars are in Australia yet?

Kelly Astras should be despatched this week, if they haven't departed already.

They still are.

Seems as though someone has ordered two of everything, and placed them with teams willing to facilitate

3 Hyundais were imported by the offical HMS agent.

1 Hyundai was purchaced and imported privately.

1 Audi and 1 Golf were brought in by the official Audisport/VWMS agent, allegedly on consignment.

1, soon to be 2 Civics are also said to be here on consignment by the local JAS agent.

2x 4 other brands, turning up at two different Supercars outfits, seems a tad too convenient. No links to the constructors.

Still, only a fraction of those cars have drivers assigned to them.

Yep they are credible and experienced campaigners.

Lets see how many others show up but this is a good start.

The 2 ex-V8 drivers both have brands they've been associated with so perhaps we'll see some of those.

If Ms Taylor's plans come to fruition, throw an Australian Rally Champion on the list.

I do wonder if Ms Angelo is any closer to getting a seat now that Mr Pither has one? They've shared commercial backers in the past.

Female drivers are a pretty common sight on TCR grids globally.

Polish driver Gosia Rdest races in German series as does another German female driver.

Dalberto is a handy addition to the entry list.
