Tony D’Alberto and Honda dominate Queensland Raceway

Tony D’Alberto and Honda Australia have taken two race wins in a dominant display at Round 5 of the Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series at Queensland Raceway.

Entering the weekend ninth in the standings, D’Alberto and the Wall Racing-prepared Honda Australia Civic Type R FL5 TCR were in sync on the model’s first appearance at the venue.

D’Alberto said "The car was absolutely flying.

I've got to thank the boys that work on the car, they engineered it into an amazing rocket.

D’Alberto qualified second, missing pole by just 0.013s as he went on to dominate the opening race after winning the start.

In Race 2's reverse top 10 race, D'Alberto made an aggressive opening lap charge, seeing him pick up six positions to finish fourth.

Making another great launch in the final, it was another dominant victory for D’Alberto.

Pressure did come early, but the 2022 Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series winner was able to build a comfortable margin to take the chequered flag for the second time.

D’Alberto climbed two spots in the standings as he aims to bridge the gap to the title leaders at the remaining rounds of the season.
