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.

00:00We just couldn't have asked for a better weekend.
00:17We topped basically every single session, won two races and had a great result in the
00:21reverse grid race too.
00:22So the car was absolutely flying.
00:24Got to thank the boys, the work on the car, they engineered it to an amazing rocket.
00:29So thank you to them and now we go to the final two rounds of the championship with
00:33some confidence and hopefully we can get some more results like this.
00:37This result's been coming all year, obviously we've had lots of pole positions, the car's
00:41been super fast, probably a little bit unlucky at some of the other rounds but this weekend
00:44for whatever reason, gods are on my side and we had some fantastic results which really
00:49repays everybody's work at World Racing, all the hard work that I do as well and also the
00:54support that I get from Honda Australia and all my other sponsors as well.
00:58So they've done a great job sticking by me and this is just a little payment back for
01:03their faith.
