TCR Australia has introduced the Kumho Cup for the 2025 season, with reduced entry costs and tyre incentives designed to draw more of the first-generation cars to the grid.
The Kumho Cup is designed to allow privateer drivers and teams the opportunity to compete on a national and global stage with an attainable budget. Professional outfits are eligible to enter the Kumho Cup, but eligibility will be reviewed throughout the season based on race results.
In 2024 alone Garry Rogers Motorsport swept the opening round of the season on their way to five race wins in their first-generation Peugeot 308 cars, while Tom Oliphant took a race win and three further podiums in his Hyundai i30 N.
Six models are eligible for the Kumho Cup: Alfa Romeo Giulietta Veloce, Audi RS 3 LMS SEQ, Honda Civic Typer R FK7, Hyundai i30 N, Peugeot 308 and Volkswagen Golf GTI SEQ.
The Kumho Cup winner, along with the overall title winner, will also receive a unique overseas TCR opportunity in 2026. More details on these prizes will be announced in due course. Round winners of the Kumho Cup will be celebrated throughout the season.
