Choice Performance has taken delivery of its first Kia Cee’d TCR for the inaugural TCR New Zealand series season.

The cars are built and delivered by Austrian company STARD, Stohl Advanced Research and Development.

“Having worked closely with Manfred and his team in Vienna I am exceptionally excited for this opportunity. We are delighted that the first of the Kia TCR cars are finally in New Zealand,” said Choice Little of Choice Performance.

“The development of the Kia Cee’d TCR is world class and a real credit to STARD. We are confident of achieving strong results in the New Zealand and Australian championship with the Kia Cee’d TCR and look forward to fostering our strong relationship with STARD who are exceptionally customer friendly.”

The team has got a cooperation with Andrew Simms Kia and Auckland Central Kia, the largest Kia importer in New Zealand, and plan to enter two Kias for both the TCR New Zealand and TCR Australia series.

The team is yet to reveal its driver line-up for the season in New Zealand that starts in November 2020.
