99motorsport confirms 2024 TCR Australia entry

99motorsport will join the 2024 TCR Australia series season with Marcus LaDelle as driver in a first generation Audi RS 3 LMS.

“It has been a whirlwind couple of weeks,” said LaDelle.

“I was put on to TCR and the Category Manager Lisa Totani by her brother Matthew, who happens to be our videographer. TCR fits the bill perfectly for what we planned to run in 2024. 99 started as a personal pursuit to run my own cars, but it’s now evolved with more programmes.

“TCR is a great category that’s commercially viable and has great synergy with the market and manufacturer relevance. There’s a great opportunity to bring drivers in and give them the platform to go race in Europe and in the World Tour.”

LaDelle is going to drive the Audi with which Chaz Mostert claimed the 2021 TCR Australia title.

The team is planning to field two cars for 2024, potentially already for the first race at Sandown.
