Racing's five-year drought finally set to end

TCR Australia Series organisers have confirmed plans to return to South Australia, ending a five-year drought in the wine state.

The Bend Motorsport Park will rejoin the calendar in 2024, marking the first time since 2019 that the series has been there.

The inclusion of The Bend comes at the expense of Winton Motor Raceway – although that comes as no surprise after the release of next year's SpeedSeries program.

Next year's TCR Australia Series season will have a new season opener with Sandown International Raceway to host round one on February 9-11.

The TCR Australia Series will conclude its 2024 season at Mount Panorama.

Symmons Plains Raceway moves to round two on March 15-17.

The Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit event shifts back to round three but forward in the year from a mid-May date to April 12-14.

The Bend hosts round four on May 24-26 before a mid-winter getaway to Queensland Raceway on July 12-14.

An extended break will see the series go dormant for nearly three months before returning for a double-header.

The TCR Australia Series last raced at The Bend in 2019.

Sydney Motorsport Park hosts the series under lights on November 1-3 before the season comes to a close on November 8-10 at Mount Panorama for the Bathurst International.

The release of the 2024 TCR Australia Series calendar comes just a day after Supercars revealed its schedule.

There are no clashes between the two calendars.
