D’Alberto goes Honda Trad for TCR defence

Tony D’Alberto and Honda Australia have returned to a traditional themed livery for his 2023 TCR title defence.

Along with Wall Racing and Honda, D’Alberto will sport the traditional Honda red and white scheme on his Civic Type R TCR racer.

Along with the new ocular scheme, D’Alberto will also have the pleasure of sporting the #1 on the windscreen and side, a departure from his usual #50.

“It’s always great to start the new year with a fresh look, and after being bright and bold over the past couple of seasons, it was the right time to switch back to a traditional Honda racing livery,” said D’Alberto.

D’Alberto will sport the traditional Honda racing colours, and the #1, for his TCR title defence in 2023

“Honda has an incredible history in motorsport, and when you see these colours on a race car, you know it’s a Honda race car.

“We’ve been fortunate to have some really good looking Type R liveries over the years, and maybe I’m a little one-eyed, but this one is my favourite, and I can’t wait to get it onto the Symmons Plains track next week.”

Director of Automotive at Honda Australia, Carolyn McMahon, is delighted to see D’Alberto showing off the #1 on his Honda TCR.

“After seeing Tony score that fantastic series win in 2022, we wanted to see him race with the #1 and favourable Honda colours, white and red,” said McMahon.

“We wish Tony and Wall Racing all the best for the 2023 TCR Australia season, and we know that he will be giving it his all for Honda Australia.”

The new look Honda Civic Type R will make its debut in the opening round of the Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series for round 1 of the SpeedSeries, at Symmons Plains Raceway on February 24-26.

All of the racing action can be seen live and ad-break free on Stan Sport, plus free-to-air coverage on 9GEM on Saturday, February 25 from 2-5pm.
