HMO signs Josh Buchan for the 2021 TCR Australia

Young gun Josh Buchan has secured a seat at HMO Customer Racing for the 2021 TCR Australia Series this year. Buchan replaces inaugural series champion Will Brown who switched to the Supercars Championship, in the #30 Hyundai i30 N.
Buchan, 24-year-old, is a former New South Wales Formula Ford state champion; he won the 2019 Bathurst 12 Hour Formula Ford Festival and finished runner-up in the 2019 Australian Formula 3 Championship. Prior to his signing late last year, the young New South Welshman sampled the i30 N at Wakefield Park, and according to the team, showed strong pace in his maiden drive.
Buchan will join team regular Nathan Morcom, who will drive the #11 Hyundai. 

“I still can’t believe it!” said Buchan. “The Hyundai TCR car is totally its own beast. I was fortunate that I have been able to secure a drive in the Hyundai because out of all of the brands in TCR, it’s one of the strongest. The test at Wakefield Park was great – totally different to anything I’ve driven previously, but I felt that I adapted to it quickly. The car and the team have proven themselves; HMO is the outfit that everyone wants to be with, so I consider myself fortunate that they’ve signed me up. I’m not taking too much pressure into it, and I feel that if we all do our job, then we’ll be competitive. I can’t wait for the season to start.”
