Brown to juggle Finals with international touring car debut

Will Brown is set for a busy conclusion to his 2025 racing season, as he adds an international touring car debut amongst his busy Repco Supercars Finals Series schedule.

Brown will reunite with Hyundai team HMO Customer Racing for the penultimate round of the TCR World Tour at the Zhuzhou International Circuit in China.

A regular in TCR competition during his junior career, Brown will be making his first steps in international touring car racing next weekend. Brown has previously won two World Tour races at Sydney Motorsport Park in 2023.

Brown steps into a competitive package for his Chinese cameo, with two-time TCR Australia champion Buchan claiming a maiden TCR World Tour race win in the same car last weekend in South Korea.

“First of all, I want to congratulate Josh and the entire team on their performance in South Korea,” Brown said.

“That was an incredible achievement, and another fantastic showcase for the talent that exists in Australia.

“I’m stoked to be joining HMO Customer Racing again for the TCR World Tour round in China and hopefully continue that front-running form.

“While it will be the first time I have driven the Hyundai i30 Sedan N TCR, I am confident the team will give me a rocket ship and hopefully bring home another trophy for them.

"I won the [TCR Australia] championship in 2019 with HMO in the hatchback. I'm looking forward to getting over there, and can't wait to join the team again."

It will be the Queenslander's fourth international foray of the season, after winning the New Zealand Grand Prix in February, and cameos in the NASCAR Cup Series at Chicago in July and the Xfinity Series at Portland in August.

The TCR World Tour made an appearance on the support bill at the AirTouch 500 at The Bend in September.
