Ben Bargwanna joins his father in TCR Australia campaign

Ben Bargwanna has secured a full-time ride in TCR Australia, driving a Peugeot 308 alongside his father Jason.
As announced in March, highly experienced former Supercar race winner Jason Bargwanna will compete in the Peugeot 308, while his son Ben will make his TCR Australia debut, with both cars prepared and raced by legendary Australian motorsport team, Garry Rogers Motorsport.

“We had set out at the start of the year with a clear and structured plan with defined goals for both Ben and I, then 2020 slapped us in the face and forced a total rethink. Initially Ben and I were going to team up for the Bathurst international in the two driver event but those plans have changed and ours had to as well. I am very excited to expand to a two car program for the remainder of 2020. Ben now makes the step to TCR and I am so proud of him,” Jason stated.

Ben added: “It is just awesome. Driving the car for the first time in testing was an amazing experience. I make no assumptions of the size of the challenge I am facing with this, but with the support of the team I will work harder than any driver in the field to make the most out of this fantastic opportunity. The first goal is to make the top then, then to make the top five and race for the podium. I am focused on doing whatever it takes to win, including beating the old man!”
