The 2024 TCR Australia Series (known for sponsorship reasons as the 2024 Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series) will be the fifth season of the TCR Australia Touring Car Series. The series will run as part of the Australian Racing Group's SpeedSeries. Initially, the rounds at Sydney Motorsport Park and Mount Panorama Circuit were scheduled to be part of the TCR World Tour, but the rounds were removed from that championship due to logistics issues for teams transporting cars in to the country.[1]
