There have been plenty of brothers who have raced on Australian soil.<\/p>\n

Think Geoff and David Brabham, who won the Bathurst 1000<\/a> together in the Super Touring era in 1997.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then there are Supercars<\/a> stars Alex and Will Davison<\/a>, who have raced together on six occasions in the Great Race.<\/p>\n

The opportunity comes amid confirmation that a brand new, second-generation Honda Civic Type R to be driven by Tony D'Alberto will arrive in time for the final two rounds of the series.<\/p>\n

D'Alberto will vacate his current car for Will Harris.<\/p>\n

"I've obviously been watching Brad closely since he joined the TCR field and it's been hard to watch from the sidelines," said Will.<\/p>\n

"We'll be in the same machinery and in a great team like Wall Racing so it's something I think we are both looking forward to.<\/p>\n

"Traditionally we're both evenly matched so I'm confident that having seen how Brad has gone, we can both be on the pace in Sydney and at Bathurst later this year.<\/p>\n

"It's a great time to join the team and the category with the World Tour rounds bringing so much international talent. I can't wait."<\/p>\n

The TCR Australia Series continues on September 9-10 at Sandown International Raceway before back-to-back events at Sydney Motorsport Park (November 3-4) and Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit (November 11-12).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
