Luke King has revealed a new colourful livery ahead of his return to the TCR Australia Series at Mount Panorama this weekend.

King returns with DashSport for the remainder of the season after a brief hiatus from the category which saw him miss the opening two rounds at Symmons Plains and Phillip Island.

He finished fourth in the standings last year in a Melbourne Performance Centre-prepared Audi RS3 LMS TCR but will fight for wins in a Hyundai i30 N TCR this time around.

Backing King for his 2022 campaign will be new major partner Zip Pay, which join continuing sponsors Chinese liquor company Moutai, Fast Track Communications and Pertamina Lubricants.

Zip Pay is an interest-free payment solutions app, entering the world of motorsport for the first time with King.

“Moutai is back onboard. They loved what we did last year, so we’re going to build on all of that and they are expecting some big results as are we,” King said.

“We are bringing Zip Pay onboard as well, which is a really big one for us and I think everyone is going to love the livery that Tim Pattinson has designed for us. It’s going to be a popular livery on the grid with the blue, red and purple. It’s a really cool looking Hyundai.

“Fast Track Communications return for a sixth season of partnership with us. They’ve been such a strong supporter of ours.

“Finally, Pertamina Lubricants also continues its support since beginning its sponsorship when I was vice champion in the Toyota 86 Race Series.

“It’s a great combination of all the sponsors we’ve had during the last five or six years and it’s great to have them all on the car at the same time.”

Director of Commercial at Zip Pay, Colin Banes, was thrilled to confirm the partnership with King.

“Zip is very excited about our alliance with Supercheap Auto to sponsor TCR legend, Luke King this racing season,” Banes said.

“We are incredibly proud to raise awareness of our partnership with Supercheap Auto and bring some excitement to our TCR loving customers.”

King’s DashSport Hyundai with its new livery will make its maiden on-track appearance during opening practice for Round 3 of the Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series at Bathurst commencing at 8:50am AEST.
