Team Australia has confirmed another driver for this year’s FIA Motorsport Games, with Aaron Cameron locked in to run in the TCR competition.

A star of the Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series, Cameron will be going for Gold against the best in the world, behind the wheel of a Peugeot 308 TCR.

Cameron is the third driver to join Team Australia for the Olympic Games for motorsport, with Brenton Grove and Stephen Grove already confirmed to compete in the GT Cup aspect of the Games in France – the latter of which will serve as the team captain.

Taking place at the famous Paul Ricard Circuit, Cameron may not have any familiarity of the French circuit, however he has plenty of experience competing at an international level.

Representing Australia in international karting competitions back in 2015, Cameron also had a stint overseas in 2019, contesting both the Dubai and Barcelona 24 Hour endurance races in an Audi RS 3 TCR.

Cameron may not be in the Audi for this year’s FIA Motorsport Games, however he has plenty of experience in the Peugeot, as he drives the exact same model on home soil.

Currently placed eighth in the 2022 standings, Cameron remains in the hunt for another top three finish thanks a number of wins and podiums in the season so far

The Victorian has also been involved with the series since its inception back in 2019, having finished third in the inaugural season and second last year.

Ahead of the FIA Motorsport Games, Cameron was excited about representing his country. 

“It is going to be amazing to represent Australia at the FIA Motorsport Games in France,” Cameron said.

“Not very often in motorsport you get to fight for medals and I’m hoping to bring home the gold for Australia.

“I’m going to be racing a Peugeot 308 TCR over there against lots of world renowned racers, so it should be good and really tough competition and hopefully we can represent Australia in the best way possible.

“I’ve never been to the Paul Ricard Circuit before, but from the research I’ve done, the Peugeot should be well suited there. I’ll be doing some sim work prior so we can hit the ground running from the opening session.

“This is actually the second time I’ve represented Australia in motorsport, the first time was in karting in 2015. I feel like we just missed out on some good results there, so hopefully this is a bit of redemption and we can bring home a medal for Australia.”

Motorsport Australia CEO Eugene Arocca believed Cameron was a great fit for the FIA Motorsport Games.

“Congratulations to Aaron for being selected to represent Australia in TCR at this year’s FIA Motorsport Games,” Arocca said.

“Aaron has enjoyed great success in the Supercheap Auto TCR Australia Series and we expect that he will certainly challenge for some form of silverware during the event.

“Like the other competitors on Team Australia, I have no doubt Aaron will do a fantastic job representing the nation and we wish him and the rest of the team great success in France.”

The FIA Motorsport Games takes place at Circuit Paul Ricard in France on 28-30 October.
