In an exciting development for the 2023 season, along with all seven national TCR Australia rounds, the Burson Auto Parts sponsored driver and team also announced their international touring car racing debut, competing in the opening two rounds of the 2023 TCR World Tour.

This latest development in Bargwanna’s burgeoning motor racing career will see the 21-year-old Burson Auto Parts ambassador compete at the Portimao circuit in Portugal (April 28-30), along with the world-famous SpaFrancorchamps circuit in Belgium (May 26-28).

“A lot of work has gone on behind the scenes to make this happen and I cannot thank Burson Auto Parts enough for the chance to represent this proud Australian automotive aftermarket company on the world stage, while also fighting for the TCR Australia title,” Ben said.

“Our main goal is to win the Australian title, but I am sure my three other GRM Peugeot teammates will start the year with the same objective. I look forward to building a strong campaign and delivering the result that the team deserves.

“Representing Australia at a World Championship level makes me feel one foot taller with pride and excitement for the season ahead.”
