New Honda Civic Type R FL5 for TCR Australia champion

Reigning TCR Australia champion Tony D’Alberto will switch to the new Honda Civic Type R FL5 ahead of the TCR World Tour events at Sydney Motorsport Park and Bathurst.

Wall Racing has secured a brand-new car from JAS Motorsport and will have the car in Australia ready for the latter rounds of the 2023 season.

“It’s great for Wall Racing, Honda and myself to have a brand-new Civic Type R enter the series,” said D’Alberto. “From Honda Australia’s point of view it makes a lot more sense to be racing the car that is based on the FL5 road car. You don’t get many opportunities to race new cars in your career so it will be really special to debut this car later in the year. We have been in regular conversations with Néstor Girolami and JAS Motorsport, and from all reports, the new Civic is just a little nicer in all areas, so I really can’t wait to get my hands on it. And it is perfect timing too, right ahead of the TCR World Tour for the final two rounds at Sydney and Bathurst.”
