AS Motorsport will expand to three Alfa cars in 2020

Ashley Seward Motorsport will expand to a three-car Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce team in the 2020 TCR Australia series.
The Melbourne-based outfit is successfully running a single car effort in the current season, fielding Dylan O’Keeffe who has taken four race wins and currently sits second in the standings.
The acquisition of the two brand-new Alfa Romeos will take the total number of Giulietta Veloces up to four, joining Garry Rogers Motorsport’s single Alfa entry, currently raced by Jordan Cox. This will take the total number close to the maximum of five that any brand can have competing under TCR Australia regulations.

“There’s a lot of interest in TCR, and we decided to pounce on the new cars as soon as they became available,” said Ashley Seward. “The hype around the category has been really strong, especially from junior category drivers looking to make their first step into touring car racing. It’s a very affordable class and really well priced in the current landscape. For our team, it was a no-brainer. Dylan O’Keeffe has really been our biggest selling point. Before the start of this season, we wanted to be a part of TCR, but it was a big risk too. Without a doubt, our punt has definitely paid off and it’s a credit to the team behind TCR Australia. The Alfa is a great car, well engineered and easy to work on. We feel that we can be in a position to win more races and win a championship. The new cars land next week and if the right deals fall in place, we might enter one extra car in the season’s finale at The Bend. We need to wait and see on that.”
