The TCR Asia Pacific Cup with an impressive 22-car field

A 22-car field will hit the Albert Park street track for the TCR Asia Pacific Cup, support series to the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix.
A mix of seven different car brands will take on three races around the 5.3km street track, with a mix of local and international racers.
The field has finalised after three late additions, including Garth Tander and Hamish Ribarits in the Audi RS 3 LMS cars run by the Melbourne Performance Centre, and Japan’s Takuya Shirasaka in the Honda Civic Type R entered by KCMG with Wall Racing.
Joining Shirasaka, the other international entrants include Jack Milligan from New Zealand (Track Tec Racing, Audi), René Münnich from Germany (Wall Racing, Honda), Stan van Oord from the Netherlands (Track Tec Racing, Audi) and TCR Europe vice-champion Julien Briché from France (GRM Customer Racing, Peugeot).
In terms of leading locals, the grid includes reigning TCR Australia Series Will Brown (HMO Customer Racing, Hyundai), Michael Caruso (Valvoline Racing GRM, Alfa Romeo), James Moffat (GRM, Renault Mégane) and Jason Bargwanna (GRM, Peugeot).
Two practice sessions and qualifying will be held on Thursday, followed by one race each day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
