TCR Australia off to Macau in 2025

The 2025 TCR Australia season will end with a bang as it joins the World Tour on the famous streets of Macau. The last unconfirmed spot on the five-round calendar has been filled by the iconic Macau Grand Prix on November 13-16. It completes the season following rounds at Wanneroo, One Raceway, Winton and The Bend. The big announcement is the second piece of news on the TCR calendar a week after One Raceway replaced a proposed trip to Taupo.

This year he has made a winning cameo in Australian F4, but done no other car racing. However the Australian already has extensive experience of higher level single-seaters, having raced in S5000 from 2021 to ’23 and taking seven wins from his campaigns in the Australian and Tasman series. S5000 is designed to be a modern interpretation of Formula 5000, a popular Formula 2-rivalling category in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s, particularly in Australia, New Zealand and North America. The S5000 car is based around a Formula Regional chassis but utilises V8 power. “I’m really excited to be back with Evans GP for the Macau GP,” said Webster. “My experiences with Evans GP […]
