RUNAWAY LEADER of TCR Australia, HMO Customer Racing’s Will Brown has signalled his desire to race TCR overseas.

Brown, who is also contesting Super2, currently leads the title standings by 125-point over Alfa Romeo driver Dylan O’Keeffe, but with the international presence of Marciello Lotti at Phillip Island and the boss of Romeo Ferraris, Mario Ferraris at The Bend, it signals the worldwide interest in the burgeoning series.

“I’d go overseas for sure if I could get a drive,” Brown said. “I don’t know if I would want to move over, but I’d like to go over for a race to see what it was like and get my toe in the water, then go from there.”

It comes after a chaotic round at The Bend for the Erebus Motorsport Pirtek Enduro Cup driver as he recovered from a Friday accident involving James Moffat and a lowly 16th qualifying position storming to second in the opening race, while taking victory in the second.

Brown was unable to extract any pace from the Hyundai i30N in the rain, which was in direct contrast to teammate Nathan Morcom, leaving many questions unanswered.

“I generally really like the rain, karting, Super2, I’ve been quite confident and good in it, I just couldn’t get the car to rotate how I wanted it to and it caused a lot of understeer on exit,” he explained.

“It might be worth having a test day and work out why we had that.”
