Garry Rogers Motorsport is celebrating a win after a tough final race at Sydney Motorsport Park as Michael Caruso broke through for his first victory in the TCR Australia series, getting the lead early on and staying there in a safety car interrupted race.
Though the win was sweet for Caruso there’s no doubt some of the prize money will go towards a repair bill for the GRM squad as two of their Peugeot 308 TCR entries suffered damage early on in the race, being the cause of two extended safety car periods which saw only two full racing laps take place.

Chaz Mostert has taken his third race of the 2021 TCR Australia season after a battle with Aaron Cameron went the way of the 2014 Bathurst 1000 winner, further extending his championship lead.
The Melbourne Performance Centre driver might have entered the race with the pole position but had to fight with 60kg of success ballast in his Audi RS 3 LMS, fighting back from a tough start to outpace the Garry Rogers Motorsport Peugeot 308 TCR of Cameron late in the race.
