Chelsea Angelo returns for season finale at The Bend

Chelsea Angelo will return for the TCR Australia series season finale at The Bend this weekend with Kelly Racing.

The 23-year-old will drive a Vauxhall Astra TCR alongside team-mate Andre Heimgartner.

“It’s really cool to come back for The Bend,” said Angelo.

“We did the first three rounds, which was cool to be a part of a new, exciting category. Since I’ve been out, Andre has taken over and seems to have fixed the problems that the Astras were experiencing. The car should be quick and we’ll have some fun.”

Her so far best finish came the last time the series raced at The Bend with 12th position.

“I’ve done a couple of races in the Hyundai Excel class since then too, so I feel that my front wheel drive experience has improved too. Obviously, the TCR cars are a lot more full-on than an Excel, but it has definitely helped me stay sharp,” said Angelo.

“Hopefully this is a restart to my TCR career. I’m not sure what is going to happen for 2020, but I want to finish the year off really strong. Right now, there’s nothing confirmed, but I’m open to all options.”
