TCR swaps NZ for One Raceway 

By Thomas Miles

Date posted: 14 February 2025

The 2025 TCR Australia season will no longer begin in New Zealand with the redeveloped One Raceway being included.

Originally New Zealand was slated to kick off a new-look TCR Australia calendar and be the category’s first overseas meeting, but the entire season will now remain on home shores.

With Taupo being dropped, the season will now not begin until almost halfway through the year in June alongside the Supercars at WA’s Wanneroo Raceway.

A fortnight later TCRs will take on One Raceway for the first time as round 2 takes centre stage at a Motorsport Australia Trophy Tour round at what was formally known as Wakefield Park.

Whilst Taupo has been removed and One Raceway added, the remainder of the calendar is untouched.

Winton stays round 3 in August before the World Tour arrives at The Bend in September, while the season finale also featuring the international series is still to be confirmed.

Whilst not touching on why New Zealand was dropped, TCR Australia Series Director David Sonenscher said he is looking forward to the category heading to One Raceway for the first time.

It will be a big moment for the revitalised track brought to life by Steve Shelley, which has hosted Australian SuperBikes and Hi-Tec Oils Super Series since reopening.

“We are proud to bring the TCR Australia Series to One Raceway,” said Sonenscher.

“The circuit has been recently upgraded and deserves to host high level Australian motorsport

“We look forward to working with Steve Shelley, Troy Williams and their team to deliver a successful event.

“Importantly, the addition of One Raceway to the calendar ensures TCR will race in New South Wales – the home state for a number of our competitors and their supporters.”
