99motorsport will join TCR Australia in 2024

Marcus LaDelle’s 99motorsport announced commitment to the 2024 TCR Australia season.

The team has experienced a rapid development in recent years, growing from a single entry in the RX8 Cup to a multi-car team in the Toyota 86 Series throughout 2023. LaDelle has acquired the 2021 TCR Australia series winning car from Melbourne Performance Centre, the Audi RS 3 LMS that Chaz Mostert drove to the 2021 title, before Will Brown took over it to finish runner up in the 2022 series.

LaDelle plans to field two cars in 2024, not ruling out having both cars on the grid for the season opening event at Sandown Raceway.

“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.”
