MCADAM SET FOR FULL TCR CAMPAIGN

TCR Australia Series privateer Liam McAdam is locked in for a full season in 2022 after spending most of the last two seasons on the sidelines.

The 24-year-old will drive an Audi RS 3 TCR in all seven rounds this year after taking part in just three races last year.

With renewed sponsorship backing McAdam was looking forward to making an impact on the increasingly popular category when the season kicks off at Symmons Plains Raceway on February 11.

“We’ve got a backer for the year, and we plan on doing the full series,” McAdam said.

“The flip side is that I haven’t done a lot of driving in two years, so that now becomes my full focus.

“We’re testing at Queensland Raceway at the end of the month and then full steam ahead for Tassie.

“I’m really looking forward to the season. I love driving these TCR cars. They suit my style and as we saw with Chaz (Mostert) and Luke (King), the Audi is certainly a competitive package.”

McAdam has a total of 10 TCR Australia Series appearances to his name – in addition to the round at Mount Panorama last year he entered the final three rounds of the inaugural series in 2019.

The Queenslander will be joined by multiple Audi runners in Tasmania, one of which will be Jay Hanson who will debut the current specification RS3 LMS TCR.

Australian Racing Group’s Race Tasmania event will launch the 2022 Australian motorsport season, featuring headline categories TCR Australia, S5000 Australian Drivers’ Championship and the Trans Am Series.

The Symmons Plains event will be held from February 11-13.
