Cody Burcher joins FIA TCR World Tour grid at The Bend in a Lynk & Co
Ashley Seward Motorsport is going to enter a Lynk & Co 03 TCR for Cody Burcher in the joint FIA TCR World Tour and TCR Australia round at The Bend in Australia next weekend.
“It’s awesome to get the opportunity to join the TCR grid with the ASM team,” said Burcher.
The 22-year-old is the reigning Super3 Series champion and will make his TCR debut at The Bend, currently racing for the team in GT4 Australia where he has claimed one win so far this season.
“For me it’s completely new, the first time driving the Lynk & Co will be the Thursday before the event, so I’m not going in with too many expectations,” said Burcher.
“Just like any time you race, you want to go in there, be competitive and battle for wins and podiums, I’m going to soak up all the team’s knowledge between now and then to hit the ground running.
“My front-wheel-drive experience is limited, racing in the Excels previously, but I’m excited for the challenge ahead.
“It’s one of those opportunities you have to take, to have a field of drivers from the other side of the world to add to the depth of talent in Australia is great.”
The team has only confirmed Burcher’s entry for the round at The Bend and not Macau which is also part of the two-race weekend 2025 TCR Australia season.
“It’s great to have Cody in our Lynk & Co for the return of the TCR World Tour to Australia,” said team owner Ashley Seward.
“Cody is part of our family of drivers and has done a terrific job with Tim Leahey in the BMW M4 GT4 this year, and we have no doubt that he’ll do a solid job in his TCR debut.
“We had a very strong end to 2024 with Dylan (O’Keeffe) and there’s nothing to say that the car will be any less competitive against some of the world’s best touring car drivers.”
