After wrapping up the Touring Car Masters title convincingly last weekend, Adam Garwood will turn his attention to Trans Am in 2025.
After a season that saw some great and competitive racing in the rejuvenated Touring Car Masters series which travelled from the East coast to Perth on the West coast, and as far north as Darwin, Garwood headed into the final race weekend at The Bend as the clear favourite for the series win.
In the end, Garwood’s only real challenger for the title was Jamie Tilley in the Prolube Lubricants Mustang.
However, Tilley’s title hopes were extinguished early in the weekend with a DNF in race 1 after contact on the opening lap of the race. And while Garwood had to battle over the three races ultimately it was a comfortable series win.
“Yes, I’m happy that we ended up taking the title after a big season, I can’t complain about that one bit,” Garwood told Auto Action.

“It’s something that the whole team has worked very hard for this year, probably harder than everyone else, so yes, I’m happy with the result.”
Looking to 2025 Garwood said his plans are focused on a season of Trans Am, and confirmed the team has purchased a brand-new Trans Am Mustang, which will be prepared by Gerard McLeod at Maverick Performance who built and prepped the series winning VB Commodore.
“I have raced in TCM for a couple of years now and while there are some awesome drivers and teams in the category, I want to try and have another go at a high level one-make series like Trans Am,” he said.
“It will be interesting to try and battle it out and see where we end up there.
“I haven’t abandoned TCM, and if we can find the budget, we run a car in the 2025 TCM series.”
