TCR Australia introduces new Kumho Cup for 2025

By

TCR Australia has announced the introduction of the Kumho Cup for the 2025 season in a bid to keep more older-spec cars in action on the grid.

The Cup will be open to six different models – Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce TCR, Audi RS3 LMS SEQ, Peugeot 308 TCR, VW Golf GTI TCR SEQ, Honda Civic FK7 TCR and the Hyundai i30N TCR – with drivers using those cars eligible for reduced entry fees and additional incentives with tyres.

The decision to announce the new Cup has been made with privateer drivers in mind, with all drivers competing in the six different models of car being able to fight for points in the Kumho Cup as well as for overall honours.

Professional teams will also be able to enter the Kumho Cup but eligibility will be reviewed on a round-by-round basis.

The winner of the Kumho Cup will be granted a ‘unique overseas TCR opportunity’ in 2026, although no further detail have been released.
