Mineef joins from Phillip Island in a Volkswagen Golf GTI

03 March 2021

Lachlan Mineeff will make his debut in TCR Australia at Phillip Island next week. The 18-year-old New South Welshman has purchased a Volkswagen Golf GTI to compete in the remaining five events of the 2021 championship, a car that was raced by Alexandra Whitley during the series’ inaugural season in 2019.
Mineeff progresses to TCR after a two-year stint in the Australian Formula Ford, having finished fifth in both seasons, including race wins in 2019.
Melbourne Performance Centre will offer Mineeff’s privateer team technical and logistics support at Phillip Island before Mineeff’s team takes the car under its own wing. 

“I’ve been looking to go TCR racing since it first come to Australia in 2019, and I can’t wait to get to Phillip Island,” said Mineeff. “I was there at the first TCR event at Sydney Motorsport Park, and from there I’ve been working on ways to get into the class. I’m stoked that we’ve finally pieced it all together. The reason I chose to go with the Volkswagen is because it is a very competitive car as it was proved by Aaron Cameron and Jason Bright. TCR is a relevant platform for both manufacturers and sponsors. Coming out of Formula Ford and Production Car racing, it is the next step up the ladder and the best value for money category. It made the most sense.
